Get Up Today Sexy You KARIK

I walked through 2 airports and then drove myself home the morning after my surgery. I would have been fine to go back to work 4 days post op. Everyone is differant though.

The Real You Starts Today SILLY

How would WalMart know wether or not you have a Rx plan? Unless you tell them of course? Just curious.

Awww Gorgeous!

Glad too! Wheww.

I live many states away from TX, I could have had my surgery in my state but CHOSE to have a surgeon with more experience. I am having my aftercare from a doc closer to home. I have tiny scars, I was up and able to walk through 3 airports the morning after my surgery, and then drive myself home. My recovery was fast. Ive had zero complications. My port is like it doesn't exist, I wonder if its really in there?? I felt the quality of care I received was excellent. Maybe im odd, but I actually liked Dr. Speigels personality. Sorry if that bothers anyone, but Im entitled to my oppinion.

Hi, Im 29, so I just have to join in lol. Its my last chance to be in the 20's crowd!

Hope you are feeling better. I too have been sick for the past two weeks. Im on my second round of antibiotics. Its bumming me out so bad to not be able to exercise!! :sick

Faybie, I was banded by Dr. Speigel, and I am interested in what size8beauty has to say. Is this your personal forum? I thought Alex was the owner. Are you even a moderator? I don't think so, I don't appreciate you acting like you are something you are not. I don't want to get in an argument with you. Im just feeling a bit annoyed. You didn't go to Dr. Speigel and that is fine, but I did, and so did others. We aren't trashing your doctor, please don't trash ours.

Aww your very welcome Mary Luke. I agree this forum really is wonderful, I don't know what I would do without it!

Beevis and Butthead moment here: teeheehheee 'he'd punch him in the face' hehehe that just cracks me up for some reason. Aside from that part though, that guy sounds like a real tool. YUCK.

Hmmm Id be wondering if maybe this guy is falling for you as your confidence, self-esteem are getting stronger. It might not only be about looks with this one. He might be a keeper :bolt: . I mean your frienship is growing and changing into a possible relationship.. that might be because the more he gets to know you the more he is liking you. My advice is get to know him. Meet his family, ask him what his values are. Go places with him and see if he is kind to strangers, nice to children and animals. Make sure he isn't a liar or a thief. Is he motivated and hard working or a leech? If he's a shallow person who only cares about looks, you'll find that out in time. You can usually spot that in two seconds flat. So my guess is, if he was a shallow person, youd know it by now. Instead of focusing on why someone likes you... focus on .. Do You Like Him?? I hope someday you will not have to have in the back of your mind 'why does this person like me?".. instead I hope you can feel like 'men should like me, whats not to like? Im unique and individual and worthy of love'. I've been with my husband for 12 years, married 8 and we are very happily married.

Cool Parvathi, It'll be interesting to see what you come up with. Thanks!! :puke: :bolt::bananapowerslide:

I just want to second that WTF lol. What are those ppl thinking???

lol I was banded 7/28/06 I have no hair loss yet but im worried!! That why I did this poll. So far everyone agrees on 3 things. Protien, Biotin, Nioxin. Biotin is a Vitamin supplement and from what I've read in posts you're suppost to take at least 1000 mcg per day. Nioxin is a shampoo/conditioner/follicle treatment that helps clean away a hormone that causes hair loss. I've been pretty diligent with all 3. I REALLY don't want to lose my hair. I mean I know its just hair but I have hair down to my mid back.. it would really bum me out to lose it and it would take years to grow it back.

I think it is so interesting that 80% of the ppl so far on lbt who have voted (79 votes thus far), are attracted to overweight ppl. I would really like to know what the general populations votes would be. I wonder if our time as being overweight ourselves change what our attractions are. I think it probably does make us more sympathetic, more willing to get to know someone first, before making any judgments. See we are better ppl people because our weight struggle. This probably holds true for every struggle.. like the old adage says.. 'What doesn't kill us makes us stronger', so we are stronger in empathy, stronger in caring, stronger in personality. Definitely stronger in typing skills from being in this forum!!

Pinky, do you smoke? Or are you exposed to air born toxins frequently? Id get to the bottom of why your lungs aren't cleaning the CO2 out of your blood. Also increase your O2 levels by taking an iron supplement to increase red blood cells.

Are you feeling sore? Or true fatigue, like you need to sleep? If you're sore thats no biggie, but if you are getting fatigued like tired, light-headed, out of it feeling etc. Id be worried you might have a cardiovascular issue. You might be anemic? Has you pcp checked your blood and heart lately?

I think men and women (of my generation which is the only one I know about) are the same. We can all want someone model type sexually in 1 second flat. And if the guy can get it he'll take it, and not care what else she may or may not have going for her. But a woman (at least a good girl lol) won't endulge her libido unless that model type has something big between his.. err..ears haha. When it comes to an actual relationship we all want the same things. Love, respect, friendship, honesty, intelligence, humor etc. And I think we can all get a crush on someone if we get to know them if they have the virtues we desire, even if they are lacking in the looks dept. The exception being if their physical attributes actually repulse us. And you can't always help that.. the heart wants what the heart wants.. and some other body parts too lol.

I think healthy fats are important too, like avacodos, almonds, olive oils, the omegas in foods like salmon etc. They actually lower your cholesterol, and your body goes.. hey my owner is giving me healthy fats.. time to let go of some of the old stale stored fat cells!! Bad fats are animal fats (butter and red meat fat), and hydroginated oils like in margerine and refined foods.

I wonder if these statistics are the same as the general population? Hm I guess theres no way to poll them on LBT lol.

Omy goodness, you poor thing, now you have a hiatial hernia??? Sorry to hear about the gallbladder. Im worried I may have to have mine out too. So far the only thing that seems to set it off is nuts. So I avoid eating any nut like the plague.

Hello back Teresita you better get a protein shake or something lol. I wish I lived closer to a McDonalds! I bet a sudae would feel good on my throat maybe. Yummmm.

Same here Wheets, what I initially find attractive is a substantial man too. But I voted I didn't care how overweight MSO was, its other virtues that attract me. But im not sure thats true... my husband was a real looker when we were first together lol. He's still very handsome but if he were to lose his looks it wouldnt change how I feel about him one bit. I love him more today than I ever have.
