I miss my old friends that use too come here

You know I made a post..... But I'm deleting it..... So not worth my time any more.... I'm going tan. Later

Wow. Angry much..... Cleo....You really need a hobby

I think your a Troller.... with nothing else to do with your life except throw your .2cents in. You have been here for 4 years and have accumulated a handful of "friends".... you have updated nothing about yourself except that you had LB surgery. Don't even have the ball to come from behind your computer screen to post a pic.... yet your criticize most everyone. I went back and read the posts in question and saw you continuously attacking others for disagreeing with your opinion. maybe you should take a long look in the mirror and re-evaluate who you really are and why you feel the need to think your always right. The reason i asked if you worked is because.... if you did, i would bet you don't get along with the people there either.

I never said any one was not being truthful.... What i did was compare being truthful and being rude... What i said was..... some people say im rude... i say im just being truthful... BECAUSE it's easier to keep up with truths than lies.... If you ask me i will tell you, Yes that dress does make your ass look big.... even when i was big. but my friends knew that if they wanted some one to be honest, i was the girl for the job. So that being said... had some one said... I don't know why im not losing weight... all i ate today was a few donuts, hand full of chips.... etc. .... then i would say, it's because your eating CRAP... Im not going to say.... (insert sweet voice) well maybe you should think about what you ate today and write it all down and analyze it.... UGH... A few years ago when this use to be the LB forum we had a girl ... that would attack people for going against HER view of what she thought was right and wrong.... Off subject question for you Cleo.... do you work outside the home? just curious.... People need to walk on gravel to thickening up there skin... JS

damn... I need to start hanging out in Sleeveland.... Lapbandland is not this fun anymore. We use to be... lol I started reading this, and then had to stop, but man am i glad i got back too it. I wish i could find an old post that was about this same issue. anywho... I agree with the OP... I have also been accused of being a "bully" and all those other names... but i just call it "being honest". Like my grandma says... It's easier to keep up with truth's than lies. There was this LB girl that use to get on her high horse when she thought people were being "rude".... Now i can't remember her name.... Damn getting old sucks. b-52, help me out... Who was she?

Thanks for making me laugh....

Drinking with meals is a hard one too break. Even harder is getting the waitress to stop asking..... Are you sure you don't even want a Water... Ugh. I smile and say. While I appreciate your concern.... I don't want anything... Thanks Eating slower.... I found that I ate faster when I was hungry. I tried not too let myself get that hungry. I also found that until I could control my chewing. I cut every bite in size about the same as the nail on my pinkie finger. Cut it all up first, than ate one bite ... Put down my fork, closed my eyes and thought about what that bite taste like. Also turning off the tv, putting down the book.... Not standing to eat... But sitting down with no distractions. Soups were my friend for a while. Baked fish, peas, Beans, eggs, cooked carrots. This helped me. Hope it might help you also....

I love reading. I have not always did. Just in the past 15 years or so. It relaxes me

have you read any of the Blackdagger brotherhood trilogy? it is about vamps.... but different. hard to explain.

Most... PS want a person to wait till they have been in are around the same weight for at least 6-12 months before they will do TT... but hey... not everyone's the same. If the consults are free... what's the harm.. You have to do what you feel is right. It's a huge decision.... "weight"... hehe... the Pros and cons.

Thanks for sharing Jake.... by the way, Jake is one of my fav. names....js. anywho... My friend and "lapband" mentor had to have her band removed last month and she opted for the sleeve. I talked with her yesterday as a matter of fact and she is SOOOOO happy with the sleeve. I hope and Pray that you have great results also. Please keep us posted.

maybe it's a houston & louisiana thing.... one of my mentors, had surgery at the university of Louisiana and they took her skin to the LSU burn center .... this was 8 years ago, maybe things have changed Not sure

i would deff do a consult or two or three....now. How long has it been since you have lost any lbs? if it's been a while, your body may be telling you.... Hey, this is where i belong..... Removing 15-20lbs of skin is a lot.... and if your already a 6 ... i would think that you would end up in 2-4 jeans.... Some ps also do skin donation and will give you a discount.... Never hurts to ask

It is definitely a personal decision. One I'm glad I did. I know that they have horrible stories. I thank God I was not one of those

I only lost 2# after tt

loseitsoon.... thanks, OMG... i really had to sit and think for a few and try and remember how old i was when i had it done...43... hehe So not old, but no spring chicken.... lol You look great by the way.... What made you do all this at your age? Just curious... Who am i kidding... Im nosy.... i own that... so because i can't remember crap... I'm calling my ps and asking him what day did i have my tt... I was thinking april, but i think im wrong because it was right be for Mardi Gras 2012.... So it had to be February... Ill have to get back about that... but i do know i was back to work in two weeks. I somewhat agree with you samuelsmom, any procedure comes with risk and of course the pain. I have a high tolerance for pain... Hell i was back at work in three day after my Gallbladder. One week after WLS...But i know my body. I looked at it this way.... I didn't lose all that weight and bust my ass in the gym to be left with all that hanging... No amount of exercise was getting rid of that.... It was a risk i was willing to take and im glad i did. My only regret was not have a breast reduction at the same time.... I listen to other and was told how hard the tt surgery was and to not have both done.... now im stuck with these huge breast and can't lose them.... i started out a 44G... now im a 34H....

I can post public the pic without box ... Everyone would see my Cochie.... Lol. Even though she is soooo cute and pretty now. Hehe. No more fat cat

Omg.... My mom did the same thing. Pop. In our bottles. My grandkids love coffee. They sleep over all the time and they love coffee

i could not live with out coffee..... i love it hot or cold. Growing up in the south, we start drinking coffee as babies.. no joke. But we call it "coffee milk".... of course it 3/4 milk and 1/4 coffee... but i started everyday with it. My grandma use to make our coffee milk, toast with Peanut Butter... and send us off too school.... True story I fine drinking me helps me ... i know it sounds crazy.. but i feel it calms my stomach. What kind of coffee are you drinking? Home brewed or something like Starbucks?

Thank you... the 6 month and year was taken by my PS. the other was taken this am.... I had people asking how visible my scar was. its actually pretty low... about two inches from the top of my "private". i lighten the picture up so it can be seen. not normally that white... hehe. but the tanning bed is calling my name.... lol I wear string bikinis with no problem and thong underwear... Even the skimpiest is still good. You should have him take some... im sure others would love too see a good outcome.

I have had a few people Personal Mess. me asking to see my scar from my Tummy Tuck. I had it done April 2012. These pics are before and afters..

I had a great experance with my TT.... but then im a "surgery pro".... lol (2 c-sections, gallbladder, hysterectomy, DNC's, WLS)... My PS didn't use drains... which was one of my requirements... NO DRAINS. Everyone i spoke to that had the TT said hands down the drains were the worst part. and infection is easier. Any-who.... Mine cost 8k..... that was total (dr, hospital, garment, aftercare... etc). Day of i went in to our local facilities, he drew on me, he knew that i planned on wearing bikinis and i wanted a low incision. and i wanted to keep the appearance of my current navel. which he did. Surgery went great, no complications, to the room i went for an over night rest with a morphine pump...(yeah). Next day, work up, of course there was pain... but he prescribed pain meds and Lovenox injections for clotting that i had to get twice a day. Thank god my son and DIL are both RN's they came AM and PM. In about 3 days i was walking down my block from corner to corner.... I still looked like the man on the Evolution chart... hehe.... but walking as soon as possible i think helped a lot. My healing progressed very well and i was back at work in 2 weeks. this is my before and after... the single shot was taken this am because i had a few people PM me asking what my scar looked like now. So he it is.... six months after, one year and almost three years after.

According to studies about 80% of women are wearing the wrong size bra. I, being a very large breasted woman (34H) know this all too well. I have a couple places i go to that are a couple hours away from me. But so worth the drive. When i wear the wrong size i can always tell... My back is in terrible pain. I have been fitted a couple different ways. One place measures around the under of my breast... if you are an even number (36) add 4 = your band size would be a 40..... If odd (33) add 5 = 38 band size.... it should fit snug. One fitted me by going across my breast and subtracted the band size from the across the boob size . I have an 8" difference... 8 alphabet down is H.... If you were 6" diff. you would be an F... 4" diff. you would be D.... and so on. The other measures from the underneath the boob coming up to the nipple... same thing... each inch is a cup. My best recommendation is to find a local boutique and have them fit you properly.... After i get my correct fit i then go to this site that YESSSSS it's in the UK... but i have never had any issues with orders with them. They sell bras and swim suits by the bra size....i have bought tons of stuff and the prices are much better than in a local store. www.belle-lingerie.com

lol.... it is very graphic and explicit... that's for sure. Like i said.. deff. not for everyone. I'm one of those that will read anything that grabs my attention. Some of my favorite authors: Tracy Peterson, Judith Miller, Deeanne Gist (these three i would say they write Historical Christian Fiction) (They are fiction with pieces of History thrown in), Karen Kingsbury (Redemption Series), JR Ward (Blackdagger Brotherhood), Patricia Cornwell (Scarpetta Series), Nora Roberts (too many to write),.... I use to read a lot of Danielle Steel, but she got boring too me. Anywwho... those are just a few that i always wait with anticipation for the newest book and then devour it in one night... Then i pissed because now i have to wait again.
