MY WBC IS ALWAYS HIGH, DUE TO THE FACT THAT I SMOKE AND HAVE ASTHMA, THEY TRIED TO STOP ME FROM MINE AS WELL , BUT I THEN REMINDED THEM OF THESE THINGS AND THEY AGREED AND WENT AHEAD WITH IT.

AGREED , IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT LOOK I WISH I HAD BOOBIES I COULD DISPLAY PUBLICLY, IF MINE LOOKED LIKE THAT ID BE SHOWING THEM TO EVERYONE :regular_smile:

I Say Keep Your Arms Down And Save Your Money. You Are Right There Is A Difference And After Spending That Much Id Be Bitter Too. But Like Someone Said Unless Your Gonna Walk Around All Day With Ur Arms Up Id Let It Be

OK NOW THAT JUST CRACKED ME UP.. ILL LET YOU COME CLEAN THE coffee I JUST SPIT ALL OVER MY MONITOR. :regular_smile: BUT HE'S RIGHT IM A STRAIGHT FEMALE AND I THINK YOUR AS HOT AS AN ARIZONA SIDEWALK AS WELL. GREAT JOB DONE BY YOU AND YOUR SURGEON.. KEEP IT UP:thumbup:

Me Too Always Freezing. I Have A New Friend, An Electric Lap Blanket ...lol. My Grocery Bill May Have Gone Down, But My Heating Bill Is Now Outta Control...lol

Man Am I Glad You Said It.. Lmao Must Be An Emt Thing ( I Have Been One For 12 Years Now ..lmao ) But Unlike Another Said I Will Continue The Rant It Makes Me Wonder How Many People Actually Pay Attention To What Is Being Said When I Am At The Doctors. I Dont Go To Group Meetings Anymore Because I Will Probably Find Myself Needing An Attorney By The Time Its Done. If I Had To Hear One More Time ( I Swear I Heard This 6 Times By The Same Person In One Meeting ) "what If Im Going On Vacation" Then Dont Go On Vacatipon If It Is Such An Issue Yes Im A Bit High Strung At Times But I Have A Zero Tolerance Policy For Nit Wits I Just Got Done Reading A Thread About A Lady That Couldnt Afford Her Fills, But, Was Flying To Go See Bon Jovi In Vegas Hellllloooooooooo !!!! So I Guess To Sum It Up no you Probably Wont Feel Restricted After A 1st, 2cd, Or Possible 3rd Fill If It Hurts Or Doesnt Feel Right go See The Doc Dont Wait Days For A Reply, You Wil Probably Be Swirling The Drain By Then. If You Cant Read Your Pre Or Post Op Instructions, Then Perhaps Money Would Have Been Better Invested In Hooked On Phonics If You Cant Hear What Is Being Said, You Can Order A Whisper 2000 Off Of Tv For 5 Low Monthly Installments Unlike Pix I do Mean To Sound Like A Bitch, Mostly Because I Am One, Thats Just Me, If Your Being A Tool I Will Let Ya Know I Did The Oddest Thing When My Port Wouldnt Close Up. I Went To The Er And Had Them Stich It So It Wouldnt Get Infected. Call Me Crazy But I Did It ( I Run With Scissors On Occasion Too ) Thats For Starting This Thread, I Needed Some Place To Vent This Too ( You Should Have Seen The Funny Looks I Was Getting Yelling At The Puter Now I Can Stop That ) Rest Assured I Will Keep It Going When I See Gross Imcompitance

Your Lucky I Have To Do 3 Days Of Liquid And Then 2 Days Soft food You Do This Because After A Fill Your Insides Are Inflammed. There Once Again Has Been Trauma Caused To Your Body. So If You Dont Let The Swelling Go Down Then You Will Wind Up Getting Things Stuck.

Well Im Glad Im Not The Only One Who Likes Him I Must Say On A Somewhat Related Note I Got A Letter From New England Medical 3 Days Ago Saying " Our Records Indicate You Recently Cancelled Your Appointment For A Consultation .. Please Calk To Rescedule" Honestly I Dont Know If I Would Have Surgery Where They Cant Even Keep Their Records Straight. I Made And Broke That Appointment On June 2006 , And Had My Surgery With Dr Randall In Dec Of 2006, Id Say There A Bit Behind On Things. That And Like They Are Trying To Drum Up Business. I Did Have To Call Though And Advise Them My Appointment Was Over A Year And A Half Ago And I Wont Be Rescheduling.

I will be honest, I never did the pre op diet and the night before surgery I had lobster, it was the last time i had it and it was wonderful. everyone is different.

I had someone at work say the same thing to me the other day " you dont need a bariatric surgeon, your not big at all" my reply well no not know I had the surgery a eyar ago.. so I took that as a compliment. My mother is about 115 and always has been HOWEVER, I was lucky, she has supported me every step of the way with this, she never really had the time to go to meeting with me and appointments but she watches all about it on the discovery channel all the time and calls me when she hears about something new , or s side affect she hadnt heard about, so she researches in her own way. I was getting a fill yesterday and one lady in the office was telling her how her family said she was taking the easy way out. Honestly I think it has been a more difficult way to lose, for starters with all the appointments, restrictions and everything else that goes withit. My personal opinion, any friend or family that cant support your decision to better your health and yourself, isnt that good of a friend to begin with, who needs it. You do what you feel is right, I have always lived byt the theory , if others dont like it then they dont have to look. I know it may seem harsh , but there are more important battles to fight and the journey is difficult enough with out support. Best of luck

Well Seeing How The Docs Were Interviewed In The Boston Globe For This Procedure Id Have To Say They Are Willing To Do It , Its A Win Win Situation For All Really , And Hey When Ya Get The Money Have It Touched Up, I Would Think One Could Deal With A Scar Than An Extra 200 Feet Of Skin As Mentioned Above Specially If It Was Pro Bono, And They Said No Payment On There

I Too Had The Same Problem With My Port Incision, They Just Stiched It Back Up From The Outside And Stiched It Up Good Havent Had A Problem Since I Had It Done Over A Year Ago, It Is Ok To Resuture An Old Incision

THANKFULLY I DO NOT NEED TO GO THROUGH ANY SORT OF RECONSTRUCTIVE SURGERY, BUT I HAVE SEEN A FEW ARTICLES ON SKIN DONATIONS ALOT OF DOCS THAT WORK IN BURN CENTERS ARE DOING PRO BONO WORK TO GET THE SKIN FOR GRAFTS , NOT A BAD IDEA IF IT IS SOMETHING ONE NEEDS TO GET RID OF THE EXTRA SKIN AND DOESNT HAVE THE MEANS TO PAY FOR IT. JUST A THOUGHT FOR ANYONE TO LOOK INTO. :pray2:
