  1. Well, I wanted to update you all on Monday at the PS. I am fuming, he is an asshole and arrogant. He is still unhappy about the breasts (as he should be) and mentioned he WILL be revising them with a few small cuts underneath them. When I asked who pays, he said "we'll talk later'. What the hell does that mean. As far as the staples that are popping out, the Intern was very concerned. He thought it looked poor and painful. (Yeah he is a smart one). BUT in true Dr Kuzan manor he was not concerned and even started PICKING THEM OUT! Remember they are still underneath my skin, you can see them, but the still have to be cut and pulled....wtf...it hurt like hell and I made him stop. It turns out they are a new product that has been on the market for 6 months! NO JOKE! Turns out a lot of my procedure was new. Too bad not improved. I didn't even mention to him that I am having a port revision. Frankly I don't think he cares. Asshole..... BUT I need your opinion ya all. Make me heal wants to interview me for the band. It would include an interview and before, after pics ect. Should I do it?? I am on the fence I think. I am actually having a hard time with being on top here somedays. I don't know how more attention would make me feel. Don't get me wrong I am proud to be on top here, but I don't know anyone there. I feel safe here...lol..
  2. I have been going nuts with the girls at home for the summer and trying to heal. PS is a fucking asshole. I will update you all about that later. Faith, I hate Kuzan more than anyone right now so if you see him, flip him the bird for me....
  3. If you aren't preggers the great thing is you can start over with the band! I don't care who you are you can recommit to the band and start over if you aren't where you want to be. I hate exercise too, with a passion but I hated being fat even more. It is a damn good trade! You can do this and you can make it work. There is no reason to accept failure! It is way to damn soon to throw in the towel!
  4. I so need one of those. We just got a new hammok but no canopy. Wahh...:sad:
  5. lol...no reason at all...lol.... I don't fall into any of the aforementioned categories, so I am okielie dokilie! lol..
  6. lol....good job calling yourself out there! I wish some people didn't know my real name....lol....like my kids...I am officially dropping "mom". I get too much attention from it..... If they have nothing to call me they will leave me alone right??:cursing:
  7. It gets better....at my Dad's bday party this week his best friend told me how worried he was and he didn't want me to end up like Karen Carpenter! He fails to see that I am a NORMAL BMI and a healthy person, healthier than him I am sure. I am 160 pounds, and 6". Well within normal. Jack ass.
  8. I found that most of my friends were supportive initially. But it didn't matter to me if they were or not. I have lost both of my best friends since then. Both have "drifted" away from me, without telling me why. I suspect they are intimidated. They both used to be the "pretty one" and one friend told me she no longer was! But I can also say that people were friends before are even closer now. I have learned you do learn who your real friends are in this experience.
  9. I agree! Sad considering it is not even 8 am. This day is gonna suck! BTW, I have missed you Chickie! How is it going??
  10. I have a migraine this morning! :frown: And kids are being very bad.....waaaaaahhhh.....
  11. IF that is the case, I need to accept everyone who asks then right????? :smile:
  12. SO sorry to break this to you, but I will eat the Rock and you will get well, my loeftovers....:biggrin:
  13. My mom let it slip the day before and f*ing swore she told me. Then she said "well you can't come anyways". BUT I drove those damn 2 hours ahd showed her....bitch.... :biggrin: I am sorry they forgot your bday. It sucks!
  14. Sandy I am sorry you are having so much trouble too. Good luck to you as well!
  15. I thought I was your friend....but what do I know....I am having a bad week. Even my OWN mother "forgot" to invite me to my own dad's surprise birthday. What was the surprise that he really isn't my dad?? lol....
  16. Ok ya all. AM I obligated to "accept" friends on here? Just wondering. I have random people asking...lol...
  17. Well hello alll.... I went to Hurley today to see Dr. Farhan. He agrees it is a problem. He wonders first why it was moved and why it was moved there. Sound familar? He is going to scheduale for me to have it moved back to where it was in August. He said I will have 2 cuts. 1 where it is now and 1 where it is going to be, unless he is able to tunnel under to the new spot. But for the most part he wants me to plan for 2 cuts. I know I could have the PS do it when he does my revision, but honestly at this point I don't trust him. Dr Farhan said the only way the PS should do it *if* he was doing lapbands and experienced. They could hurt my band, so I am letting the expert do it. He told me not to worry about cost. He said the insurance will cover it because it is causing pain. He saw it get caught in the rib area today as I sat up too fast. So there is no doubt it is medically necessary! He will be putting in a low profile port as well. When I got my band, they were not available, so I guess there is 1 plus right. He also told me I am the most successful person they have had with the band! What an honor! I needed to hear that after being so upset about all of this port drama.... And then there is the breasts....they get more worse everyday. I will have DH take pics and post them as soon as I can. I can not believe how bad they are looking. I just don't understand why. I appreciate everyone's support here, I really need it. I wish things were turning out better for me, but they will soon right? :confused2:
  18. My DH didn't know what I weighed pre surgery until about 3 months ago when I hit goal. He had maybe a thought but I never would tell him. Now he knows what I weigh because I am obsessive about it.....lol...:biggrin:
  19. Welcome and here's to your success!!
  20. Kat I am glad to hear traveling went well! I am sorry to hear you got an infection. Did antibiotics work? I am not happy with my hip either. Mine is crooked. It is only even when I lay down. I hope yours get better! Hugs
  21. I see Farhan Wednesday. I lost a few staples in one of my breasts over the weekend, so I am calling PS again....grrrr....I am sure they won't be worried. It is so weird to see the inside of my breast. Gross really. I was in the shower washing and this big white thing fell out. Dj figured out it was a staple. Another one fell out when I was putting the bra on. I put antibiotic stuff on it and put those little circle band aids. I also know now what the PS big deal was with the breasts. THe right one has dropped 1-2 inches below the left. It is clearly larger as well. I am so upset. I didn't expect to look perfect, but I am not happy with how they are turning out. I really don't want a revision but at this point if they get worse I will. :tongue2: BUT he made the mistake, so who pays for it??
  22. It is a hot picture! :wink2:
  23. lol...I WISH they would do that now. I am so sick of seeing girl's asses all over the place. At least we had modesty! lol... I love big plastic jewlry. I bought a ton the other day...lol....you know everything comes back in style!
  24. lap--thank you, more than happy to help! karey--I agree that the sweet spot needs to be continued after PS. I have no problem admitting if I gain I would freak. I am still ocd about weighing myself. Fran--I am going to ask him for a fill. I will just get .10ccs or so. I can never get more than .25ccs. I just want to take the "edge off"...lol...I feel like a drug user sometimes... Sandy--I am not sure if this is a lifelong thing for fills. It has been 3 months I believe since my last fill, probly longer. I just don't want to continue to feel so hungry. My DH assures me that it is ok, and doesn't want me to get fills anymore. But he has no idea what it is like. so his opinion just doesn't work for me in this case I jsut hope the Dr will do it. He is very critical of fills for me. He always wants to give me .50ccs at a time. I quit going to him and have been going to his PA for the last year or more. But in this case I do need to see him for the moving the port discussion. I hope he will listen to me about what to put in.
  25. Sure bre. Feel free to pm me!
