  3. I’m having a lower body lift but just my back side, I already had a TT. I can’t find anything that doesn’t involve both procedures. I’m wondering if anyone has had it done, and how you are supposed to get out of bed, sleep, go to the bathroom, how long before you can sit?
  4. I am having surgery next week arm and breast lift with augmentation and I was wondering if any one had any tips for after care. I have help for about 5 days and I was going meal prep for my husband... Is there anything that I should buy to make my life easier during recovery.

  6. I waited two months and I have found sometimes it hits me harder and sometimes my tolerance is high and I don’t feel it... not sure why that is but I love my wine.
  7. My doctor had me wait 3 months and on the 3 month mark I had me some wine!

  9. Thanks, for the pictures that helps a lot.
  10. I have my final appointment scheduled in a few days. I am doing a lift and implants along with my arms... my question is I’m really not sure how many cc to get right now I’m a 34B and I don’t want it to be really noticeable so I’m not sure if I do 350cc if that’s going to be super noticeable. My doctor recommended 350cc for my body type and the amount of skin I have, I’m just worried about it. It’s not like I can return them ?
  11. @Stacy8220 hi there, so your test didn’t show anything wrong with your band? I ask because I just had a bunch of test done and mine shows the band is fine but yet I’m constantly sick and I wonder if it too needs to come out. Are you having any other problems with yours? thanks I really appreciate the feed back
  12. Thanks funky monkey... no nothing has changed but Sunday I was finally able to get my coffee down with no problem and have been feeling back to myself.
  13. Can I ask how much it cost, I was a cash patient and I am so worried about the cost to remove it and change to the sleeve?
  14. Thank you, I don’t feel any pain just restricted more then usual. I had mine herniated up inside the band the 1st year and that was painful.... I was just worried I guess because it’s not my usual.
  15. I have had my band for 11 years and love it, I have my good and bad days sometimes it seems like I get sick really easy because my food is stuck. I had the test done where you drink the white stuff and they ex-ray it going down two years ago everything was great. I have not had a fill done in 8 years. Over the last few weeks I feel really restricted and it’s hard to get my coffee down and clear fluids but by evening time (wine goes down great) I seem to be able to get more down, but like I said I throw up fairly often but I have for years so it’s nothing really new for me. We have terrible insurance and everything is out of pocket, I’m just wondering if I should be concerned or not. Nothing hurts I mean I get acid reflux but that’s all. I just haven’t felt this restricted in a long time and since it’s been longer then a day... I don’t know I hope all this makes sense.
