I back you up too Heartfine Goatheads are the worst sticker ever!!! They burn and are just awful. Painful, evil!!!

Those 10 days will fly by!!! Congratulations on your MBA!! I know you have worked hard. Have fun on your weekend in Vegas. I am excited for you and your surgery.

Joanie your a whole new woman and you look awsome!!!

Sending positive healing vibes out your way. Sorry to hear about the marriage. You do have someone to come help you out the first few days right? Don't stress these 3 weeks before your surgery, it will be done and over before you even know it.

Wohooo on getting the drains out!! Your going to feel so much better without them.

Great Job Bandpal and Momto1. I suck, I haven't lost anything. But I haven't gained either so I guess that's ok. Still makes me mad that the scale wont budge at all. Anyways great job everyone.

WOHOOO Congratulations on losing 100!! That's awsome :w00t::thumbup:

This movie was very disturbing.

With my Anchor TT I was hunched over a good 3 weeks. I had a wound issue tho. But man oh man did my back hurt so freaking bad from being hunched over. It does get better tho, I promise!!! WOW over 20lbs!! thats amazing, your going to be smoking. My Dr took about 9 off of me and I couldnt believe it, I am now able to wear bikini panties and they aren't hidden by my tummy. WOHOOOOO

Congratulations Jeni, welcome to the flatlands!!

Hi TucsonD, First off Congratulations on losing 110lbs!!!:w00t: I can't answer your question pertaining to the LBL as I only had a Full Tummy tuck with Anchor cut and Breast implants with a small cresent lift over the nipple. Sre I can use a thigh lift and my arms could use some help, but it was my big ol belly that bothered me the most. As fopr my implants I had small deflated breasts, never have I had bvery big ones, never bigger then a full C even at my highest weight, so I could have gotten a traditional lift, but really we saw no need for the extra scar. So I opted for a small cresent lift over the aereola. I had 500CC High profile silicone implants. Under the muscle. I wanted as much volume as possible to fill out my saggy girls, yet didn't want to go TOO big, I wanted to look as natural as possible. The high profile for me filled out my breasts really nice and full without the tupperware bowl look. :thumbup: I am now a D cup and they feel very natural. As for your scar question regarding a lift and implants , Yes there is a bigger scar with a full lift, basically an anchor scar from the bottom of the aereola down. With implants only, it depends on the PS, there are a few different ways to put them in. As for the recovery period, this surgery kicked my ass, I also had a wound seperation issue with my TT and that took more time to heal. We are all different and heal different. I didn't have any pain at all from my implants except maybe the first 3 days, after that all was great. When you go for your consults, and yes you should go to more then 1. Have a list of questions to ask the PS, they shouls answer each and every one of them and explain what they can do for you. Mine asked my what did I want done, what bothered me the most, took the time to listen to me and my concerns, then told me what he could do to help me. I hope this helps you somewhat. Don't get discourage because you haven't gotten many replies yet, you will. Good luck, Kelly

Green, keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, Although I don't have the direct link like Pattygreen does.

Palace Resorts - Welcome to the Official Site Heres a link to their website, it has info on all the resorts. We went sailboating, kayaking, also went to Wet and Wild, Tulum tour, Chitenitza tour, All for free. everynight there was something going on at the hotel to do, theme nights, Louas type dinner on the beach, ect. fun fun fun, we can't wait to go back. Yes they have a nice gym also. We also rented a car one year, BUT I wouldn't reccomend that. Man those drivers there are SCARY!!!! You will have a great time.

Sunshine, That's a nice resort. and when you stay at one of the Palace resorts you can go and enjoy all the palace resorts. I believe 5 of them. We honeymooned at the Moon Palace and have been back 2 more times since. It's nice to be able to take the shuttle to the other palace resorts for a change of scenery for a day. We had the all inclusive and you get all you can eat or drink at all the palaces also. This last time I didn't eat a whole lot. I enjoyed the resort more because I wasn't focused on eating anything and everything. They also have free tours you get to choose from that some are fun to do.

Hi Mimilou, I wasn't at goal when I had my Anchor TT and Breast Implants done in Oct. I still have abut 25 to lose.

I wish :cursing:

Frangi, Glad to hear from you, and that your PS got you all fixed up. I know exactly what your saying about falling into a funk. It took my wound almost 4 months to heal and I am left with a not so pretty scar. It also didn't heal exactly from the inside out as it was supposed to only, It healed outside to inside along the edge of my wound and also from the inside up, But becasue it took the inside so long to heal the outside was long healed and well I am left with a "Butt" looking scar at the bottom of my almost flat tummy. Yep I have 2 butts it seems.. Good news is we are doing a revision and my Dr like yours feels my pain in waiting 4-6 months to do the revision so I will talking to him this week for the date to do it, Probably April though. Anyways glad to hear from you, was worried since we hadn't heard from you in so long. Kelly

I did not get an unfill for my PS. I made sure to have the Dr give me the Nausua patch that I put on my arm on the way to the hospital surgery morning, and also the Anestiaoligest (sp) knew about my band and not being able to throw up and gave me something in my IV for it. I think I used the patches for about a week and I had a prescription med just in case I needed it, but I never did.

HAHAHHAHAHA I agree!!!

She put herself out there on TV. I'm sure she loves her kids all very much, But I dont believe shes an excel;lent mother, An excellent mother would have taken care of the 6 she had already. she would have had a job, a home, been able to fully care and provide for these 6 children before bringing any more into the world. But we all know she didn't have a job, she didn't have a home of her own, she doesn't have a means to take care of these kids. No one should be having 14 kids if you cant fully provide for them. Also 8 preemies are going to need a little more care and attention then a normal full term baby. They usually have to eat every 2 hours instead of every 3-4. They have weakend immune systems and can catch any little germ, making them sick. She wont be able to do this on her won, so then it will be someone /lots of someones taking care of these kids needs and not her the excellent mother. She had 6 kids already some with special needs, and therefor need alot of time and care devoted to them to help them thrive. They can't get this from "excellent" mommy is she is busy with 8 preemies. As Kat said kids don't need the latest clothes, gadgets, But what they do need is a Stable home enviroment, without all this media attention. But Mommy has brought all this into their lives. I too see them with bonding issues because of all the differnt people that may be there feeding them. I truly feel sorry for all the kids. As a mom that had preemie twins I know all to well of the struggles preemies go thrue, some may or may not have health issues,I hope they dont, but 1 lb babies almost always have some type of health issue. I just cannot imagine having 8 preemies. Just my 2 cents.

I didn't get an unfill, but I wasn't tight and had wiggle room after surgery swelling.

Juli your right, if the Drs are only moving the port over, the system itself doesn't get unfilled. But if your are getting a low profile port then you do lose fluid. My port was moved over with my Ps as it too was sitting in my muscles that were getting laced together.
