Ear stapled...I have never heard of it. I'll have to google it and see what I can find out.

Yep, look it up and let me know what you think...I had someone up here at work saying that they were thinking about getting it done...But I dont know if it would benifit me or not with me having the band..I might have to call them and ask for myself...Sounds kinda interesting anyways

I have been reading up on ear stapling. I can't believe I haven't heard of this before. It does sound interesting. I don't know if it would benefit us because of the bands or not. If so, I would consider getting it. I have other cartilage piercings so I can't imagine the pain being an issue for me. Let me know what you find out.

Ok, I will try to call today or tomorrow and find out what this place near me has to say...The girl up at work says that they quoted her 85 dollars for hers and then 95 for the dual pack of the staples that make you lose weight and stop smoking at the same time...If there is any chance what so ever of it helping me I would probably do it...I have seen a person that had it done before and the staples are pretty small and not that noticable

years ago, a friend and I ordered these ear ring cuffs designed to help you lose weight, $30 a cuff.....We used them for 2weeks and sent them back and got a refund:heh: No weightloss:rolleyes:

I remember hearing about those many years ago...This staple thing actually gets stapled into your skin right outside of the knobby thing near your cheek...They said that it feels basically like getting your ear pierced...So I guess thats pretty tolerable...Dont know if I want it or not...I still have some questions to ask when I call them...Im just wishy washy and it was something new that I had heard of and thought I would share

I don't know if it would work or not but I'd be willing to try. Since I like piercings to begin with and it has the possible benefit of helping with weightloss, I'd do it. I may be banded but I still get hungry. I know some bandsters don't and I would love to be one of them.

Turner, I was going to ask you if you lost because you were supposed to give some pounds to me and I gained 2 lbs. yesterday. :faint: Ugh! Oh well, I'm working them off today. (I wasn't too good yesterday.) Congrats on the weight loss!!! That is fantastic!! Keep knocking them off!

How is everyone doing on Sarge's rules for the week?

I wish I could say good but I have faltered some. I'm recommitting to the rules today! I will pull myself out of my lazy slump.

Hey Niecy, I lost 2lbs when I weighed this morning, you have my 2lbs, I'm sorry but I told them they HAD to go, I didn't know they would travel that far to your house:eek:

I'm doing good on Sarg's orders, just not good with the water:tired

Way to go Tann!!:) Boy those suckers sure did travel far! That's alright, they aren't staying! I decided to do 2 days of m/e and see what kinda results I get. I am taking the weekend off since it's my wedding anniversary and then back to m/e on Monday. It gets easier everytime. I have added Benefiber to my every day diet so no more problems in that area. :)

I'm off to a good start today. It's going to get better and better!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
