You guys are great, thanks = ]

Great suggestions guys. I am going to Dr Almanza. Dr. Belancourt is the one that suggested if I was going to film it that I definitely need someone there to film it. He likes the idea, but they didnt really make it seem like there was anyone extra there to help out. If I really cant find anyone, which it is still quiet early out, I am going to email back and forth and see if either someone there could possibly do it or if I can just set up a tripod. As for paying someone, that is really out of the question for me, I am totally broke but thanks for the suggestion. Although this will be informative, and documentary like, it will most likely be split into tiny films and slapped on youtube for your viewing pleasure. Thanks, Tiffany

No One lives close by that can help me?? = [

yep, I have emailed my surgeon, and he says more power to me.

OHHH important info...duhhhh My surgery is on April 20th. -Tiffany

Thanks Guys and Gals. Like I said what's done is done. I took it down. So no telling who knows. I guess Ill just have to wait. Of course my WHOLE family is skeptic about medical tourism. SO now I am just looking forward to the " You thought I was gonna come back without a kidney" when I am 150 pounds lighter at xmas dinner this year. Jokes on them. I will be happy, healthy...not to mention sexy and RIGHT = ] Tiffany = ]

This is actually One of the questions I had too. I EAT.I don't have very low self esteem, and I dont feel like my overeating is s coping mechanism. I just eat, and eat and eat. If I like something I eat it. If Im bored I eat. I swear my stomach must be stretched to the size of a 2 liter bottle down there. I can even sometimes recognize,"Hey Im full." I still ignore it and stuff my face. What Is it that makes you STOP eating in your head. I think I have had the feeling once in my life. Ill give you an example of the only time I can remember something I can compare it too. A long while ago I was on phentermine (popular prescription diet pill). That is the only time I can ever remember the absolute I AM NOT HUNGRY feeling. Is it the same as that? Are you just not hungry and kinda forcing yourself to eat and then your body finally adjusts? This is all over the place but I saw a jumping off point in the thread, Tiffany

I know I am not the end all be all but I can provide a tiny bit of info. I am NOT a Dr., but I am in hair school and something we do to promote growth is scalp massages. When you stimulate your scalp you are stimulating blood flow. Better blood flow and circulation bring more nutrients to your scalp, helping hair grow. Plus if you ladies and gentlemen can get your significant other to do it for you, it is extremely stress relieving and relaxing. If not, you can just massage in the shower. Use the pads of your fingers, no nail! You could damage your scalp, and further deteriorate the growth process. Most salons offer this as an add on to any service, and this nice thing about it is some of theirs can last from 15-30 mins. You will never be so relaxed. -Tiffany = ]

Hello everybody! Let me introduce myself, My name is Tiffany. I am scheduled to be sleeved next year. This is my first post and unfortunately I am not getting off on the right foot because I believe this may be in the wrong forum category. I am sorry if it is....I am sort of an idiot you know lol... This could get graphic lol. The skin in between my upper thighs I have noticed is a completely different color than the rest of pale pasty me. Now I am being treated for hypothyroidism, which they say a symptom is skin discoloration. Really though, every since I have been young, I cant remember a time my thighs didnt touch, even when I was a normal size. I think that is playing more of a role in it than my disorder. I guess my question is, did anybody else suffer from this before they lost their weight and did it improve upon weight loss? Any Input Appreciated, Tiffany
