There are so many variables, it is hard to tell what will happen in your case. Age, length of time overweight, how much wt you lose, and genetics are only some of the factors that play into it. There are many posters on both sides of the issue who post here, Unfortunately I am on the side where I will need a TT and boob lift. Best wishes, Mimi

Laura, I feel bad for you feeling bad!!! I think you are having a little post op depression, maybe from the anesthesia and "let down" from being so pumped up pre-op? I hope you feel better real soon. Mimi

Laura, I am glad you got the pain meds, it will help your recovery. I am also happy for you that the drainage has slowed down. Hang in there, and make haste slowly! Mimi

Laura, you are being very hard on yourself!!! You are still fresh post op from major surgery and you will need pain meds. Listen to that smart DH of yours. This too shall pass. Mimi

Always do what your doctor says. There are as many ways to do it as there are doctors. You might want to express your concerns to them ahead of time so they can reassure you. Do they have a nutritionist that you could touch base with? Mimi -
Oh, Laura, you are looking so wonderful!!!! You are doing an awesome service to us by posting the pictures and keeping us informed the way you do. Thanks a million. Mimi

Allie, I am so happy you found a doctor you can be so enthusiastic over! The plan sounds wonderful and even though I am sorry you lost your job, I am happy you will have uninterrupted recovery time. Mimi -

Too tight? Not keeping liquids down...

I am glad you were persistent and got a little unfill!!! I am happy you are feeling better now. Best wishes for continued success. Mimi -
Ha, my hot fudge brownie sundae trumps pasta and donut!!! Seriously though, I like both your attitudes....there has got to be food pleasure in our band lives!!!! Mimi

5 cc is excellent, my place started at 3 cc and only filled every 6 weeks at 1 cc per fill under 5 cc. So it took me a very hungry 12 wks AFTER my first fill to get where you will be at your first fill. I am happy for you. Mimi

Hey strangers, question for all you medical types - drug testing
Mimilou2004 replied to Wheetsin's topic in The Lounge
I agree that your Rx is your Rx and there is no law saying how long it must take you to finish a bottle. I wouldn't even point out that I knew it was expired. Please keep us posted and best wishes. Mimi -
Amy, ask about their unfill policy. Many places only charge for the fill, not the unfill. Best wishes. Mimi

Getting an unfill on Wednesday :-((

Stacy, I am happy you are going in to your doctor. I understand your concerns about them taking too much out. I hope it all goes well and you can start enjoying life again. Mimi -
This is a bit expensive, but could you afford a personal trainer for a few weeks? Getting one really helped me get past my plateau and start back on the losing track. Now I can't imagine doing without her!!!! Good luck. Mimi

You are doing great, Laurr. Keep up the good work!!! Mimi -
Closer all the time....but still a ways to go
Mimilou2004 replied to dab's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Dick's Sporting Goods and other stores like that have chairs with rated weight limits. I feel your concern...I tried a chair like you described and it collapsed with my fingers in the bend. The collapse caused the chair to rip off the tip of my ring finger. I am extra cautious now and was delighted when I saw the rated ones at Dick's. Mimi -
Their sirloin dinner is very good, if you can eat steak. You can always get bacon and eggs and other breakfast type food. Mimi

Teri, you are beautiful and sure don't look like you need to lose that much more weight. Congratulations on how well you have done. Mimi

Digital scale--recommendations?
Mimilou2004 replied to bobbiezhere's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
If you have a Bed Bath and Beyond they have a large selection to try out. The one I picked had a very large read out and was $34.00 minus a 20% coupon. Good luck. Mimi -
You are awesome, Kelin!!!! You have stuck to it and look amazing. Congratulations. Mimi
