  1. Hi nice to meet you Tiffani[emoji1528][emoji757]️[emoji175]
  2. It's just like a sweat band you put around your stomach for people who basically don't have weight loss surgery. But thanks for the info I appreciate it Tiffani[emoji1528][emoji757]️[emoji175]
  3. I figure that maybe it won't be the best idea yet until maybe a year or so later. So thanks for the advice. I believe eating can help a lot but I think it's important to do strength training etc. thanks for the knowledge Tiffani[emoji1528][emoji757]️[emoji175]
  4. I'm not going to lie I feel a little lonely on this site. What can I do to make it a better outcome for me Tiffani[emoji1528][emoji757]️[emoji175]
  5. So I haven't got my surgery yet I still have 9 days [emoji16] but I have a question regarding working out. I am aware while you are in the hospital they give you this type of girdle thing to try to keep you together for the pain. After the 4 weeks have anyone try to use one of those workout waist trainer things? I workout regularly now but I wanted to sweat more in the stomach area but not sure if that will affect my incisions. Any advice?
  6. That's a great question I have so much hair on my face it's embarrassing. I'm only 23 and have hair like a man almost. I do hope as weight is lost the hair will not grow as much!
  7. So I have my surgery in a week and I have support from my friends and family, but it would be nice to have a friend who is going through the same thing I'm going through. I'm 23 from KY and I'm just looking for some friends. [emoji7][emoji7]
  8. It seems like it would be that simple but it's really not. Re-piercing is like scar tissue and it's visible. I had this in for over 3 months or so now so it shouldn't close up but yeah.
  9. I was just about to post this topic! Yes I have and when people accidentally tell someone else it pisses me off. I just feel like this type of thing is something where it's your time to do what's best for you. If you don't want to share your weight loss surgery I feel like you don't have too. People are so obsessed with worrying about other people they can't worry about themselves.
  10. Well that's not good. At all!
  11. I know this is a pretty weird topic but I just want to know if anyone can give me any knowledge. So I have to take my ring out of course for the surgery but I was told that retainers aren't meant to be worn for long periods of time. So does anyone know how many hours after surgery I should put the ring back in? Let me rephrase that, how many hours it will take before I am able to put the ring back in my nose?
  12. I have my surgery August 7th so I'm about a week and I was told that I could bring my machine but they will be the one putting it on and off my face.
  13. You know I'm pretty young like yourself (23yrs) and I also just found out I have sleep apnea. My case is not severe as everyone and I been using my machine for two days. I'll be honest it's a lot to get use too. I was told I should lose more weight now that I have a machine as well. I don't know how long it takes the machine to work but my mom had a pretty bad case of sleep apnea and she seems to be doing a lot better. So I say good luck!
