  1. Well, I was banded by him 1 year ago Oct 7th and will be glad to commiserate with you! Mimi
  2. Barbee, that really stinks. I hope you can get some of the surgery done and that your iron comes up. Best wishes, Mimi
  3. Laura, you look wonderfull, congratulations!!! Good to know the swelling can last that long, but I am sorry for your discomfort. Mimi
  4. Can't you get a medical loan? $7000 is about what you would pay to go out to CO and see Dr K. I am sorry it is so much. Good Luck, Mimi
  5. Mini, that really stinks about the seroma. I hope he can get it all out. I am glad you are adjusting your pain meds as needed, no fun to be in pain. Thank you for sharing the picture. I can't get over what a fine line/incision you have!!!! Awesome, indeed. I am going to rent a recliner for a month because I don't have one. It will be electric with a tilt seat to help eject me from the chair, LOL!!!! Take care, Mimi
  6. Good morning Mini. I hope you are well!! Are you living in a recliner like others have said they are? Good move to only take 1 pain pill if that controls your pain. Best wishes, Mimi
  7. I eat a mini bag (100 cals) almost every evening. It is a controlled calorie indulgence that satisfies my urge to crunch and munch. Mimi
  8. Looking very good, congratulations!!!! Mimi
  9. Shalee, thank you for your positive input, I appreciate it bunches!!!! Following your experiences have been uplifting for me!! Mimi
  10. Congratulations on doing so well. Keep up the good work. Mimi
  11. Mini, I am so happy you are all done and did well. I am also glad you were already sitting down when you fainted!!!! Do you have a pain pump? It will be great to see your pictures. I hope you heal quickly and get back on your feet fast. Mimi
  12. I am facing the same dilemma, but I have 6 months to decide as my TT and B Lift aren't until March. One day I think yes and one day I think at 58 and a half I will be too old for perky full breasts. Then I think, well, I am having them worked on, why not go for the whole thing. Mimi
  13. Mini, I hope by now you are done and not in any pain. Looking forward to having you post soon. Best wishes, Mimi
  14. Better to be safe than sorry and take no chances with your health. I know you are disappointed, but time will pass. Take this extra time to build your strength and drop some pounds as IsaV said. Best wishes, Mimi
  15. Congratulations on being Girdle free!!!! I just bought my first one in over 30 years but got it 2 sizes 2 big because I wanted it comfie, LOL!!!! Mimi
  16. Congratulations on your upcoming LBL. Please post before and after pictures!! Mimi
  17. Best wishes, Mini. Thanks for starting your album for us. I can't wait to see those jeans post op!!!! Mimi
  18. I think you should call the doc's office and ask them when it is OK. Many docs say 4-6 wks then everything is OK. Mimi
  19. Doggone it, Diane, that stinks. I am having a TT in a few months and am worried that will happen to me. I had a complete unfill a few weeks ago and gained 9 pounds in 2 weeks. I hope you do better than me. I also hope your recovery goes smoothly. Best wishes, Mimi
  20. I don't think you are doomed to failure, but you are going to have to work harder than some ppl. My head hunger is a torture to me and I have to stay vigilant with tracking my calories and exercise and attitude. Some of us must struggle more than others. Best wishes, Mimi
  21. YAY, Carrie, way to go!!!!! Mimi
  22. Laura, we want to know it all, so whine on!!!! I couldn't see the dog ear you are worried about so I will cross my fingers that it is just the swelling. You look wonderful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Mimi
  23. Feels good, doesn't it??? Congratulations!!! Mimi
  24. Corliss, I just looked at your album and you look FANTASTIC!!!!! I hope you are so pleased as you look!!!! Mimi
