I would put a little neosporin on it as long as doc okays it... as long as its not oozing you should be fine! Your body probably was fighting the drainage tube...it was trying to heal and the tube was in the way ; ) Let us know what the doc says

If you'd like some of mine I will share : ) I'm ready to get rid of my big old amazon lady boobs lol Bring on a lift and C/D cup implants I'm done...no more DDDs please If I lose too much tissue I will get implants but even as a teen when I was skinny they were big so I'm hoping a lift will do

I had mine out about 3 years ago...I only did local anesthetic...I'm not a fan of being knocked out unless necessary lol Try one of your local universities...they do the work for cheap because it's the students but they are being watched so you know you get good work...I had a root canal done for 200 They also will pay you and give you free work if you are their patient for finals week

Hoping I'll get that back...nothing makes you feel sexier than when you are content with yourself! Way to go!!!

Kinda like all the times I've fallen in the toilet when the lid was up

I've been reading your threads and have to say I love your NSVs...I come on here hoping to hear more "balls in the toilet" tales...being a girl and reading period stories isn't as fun I asked my hubby if his balls ever fall in the toilet and he laughed at me wondering where I heard something like this...luckily he doesn't have that issue but I guess it happens to some guy friends lol

I am an extremely picky eater and dont eat red meat or pork only chicken/turkey breast...fruits and veggies...with my braces it's hard to eat things like carrots and celery and I don't really like them cooked unless it's a stir fry... I don't eat hamburgers and fries...I'll eat turkey breast burger and fruit and a few baked chips... That is when I have the money...I'm honestly thinking of getting some chickens for eggs and getting a windowsill herb garden and planting fruits and veggies somehow lol The soil here in western Wa isn't the best to grow with..maybe I'll get some big planters

I want mine gone!!! I will take a C cup over a DDD anyday

I am lucky with double insurance so I didn't have a copay...the 1.5 hour test took me about 20 minutes...no I dont hear other people's thoughts or other voices in my head...I'm not suicidal, I don't take a ton of laxatives (I don't want to poop all the time lol) I don't drink gallons of Water everyday (I have a hard time with 64 oz)...Etc etc The talking was about an hour I think probably would have been less had we not B.S'd about her lapband

Im not sure where you are located but Amazon has work from home positions...it should say work from home or virtual location

Anyone else a binge eater? Maybe that's not the right word but I'm hungry all the time and can't eat just 1 bowl of Cereal...I was raised that way...I watched my mom gain to almost 350 lbs and my estranged dad is really big too... I grew up having to eat all on my plate or not eat until the next day...luckily I could hide food I didn't like so much in my napkin and flush it after dinner BUT it was still alot of food... Did the surgery help with anyone's food addiction? I'm set on doing it but alot of people bring me down and make me feel like a loser for doing it. My sister in law is larger (and a closet binger) and I see her son sneaking food and he's a large boy already...I hate to think he is going to grow up like me : ( My in-laws are all for it as they've both had weight issues...but we are also all food lovers

So far I've lost 13 pounds since starting Protein shakes and following my NUTs advice....I met with her at the beginning of March.... I've switched from half & half in my coffee to 1% milk, swapped out the vanilla for sugar free, I'm still using up my regular white chocolate because I didn't want to waste it : ) I still crave so much food though and I'm still hungry!! I can't wait to be post op! I know I feel amazing that I've lost weight but I know if I don't have this surgery I will go back to eating like crap... Anyone else like this?

I'm not on liquids just eating small portions and drinking a Protein shake for Breakfast...I used to normally eat dinner and then snack the rest of the night... Wonder what will happen on liquid diet the week before lol

I tried it and couldn't get past the smell....was the one I bought bad?

I have been reading all these horror stories about leaks and don't know what to think... I'm relatively healthy no comorbitities I'm just fat...the surgeon said I should be a-ok but after googling too much I think I'm freaking myself out... Did anyone else do this and how awful is a leak? What are my chances?

Anyone else a horribly picky eater? I honestly don't know how I'm so big since I hate so much food. The nutritionist kept giving me suggestions on foods and I just shook my head in disgust lol Here is what I will eat cause the list I hate is way too long... chicken breast, ground turkey breast, whole turkey breast, lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini, potatoes, bean sprouts, celery, carrots, green/red peppers, onions, kidney Beans, pinto beans, black beans, green beans, corn, rice, pickles, white/wheat bread, cornbread, spinach, halibut, mahi mahi (unfishy fish) I make tacos, chile, casseroles with chicken/turkey...I honestly could eat tacos everyday if I had them...pizza too I love sweets which is my biggest downfall!!! Although I did go to the store yesterday and walk thru the bakery twice and nothing seemed good...I like some ice cream, Cookies, etc One of the most disgusting things is ranch dressing...just the smell makes me sick to my stomach and I gag... That nasty nacho cheese people get the liquid kind is gross to me lol I can't stand mushrooms, olives, ranch anything, hummus, red meat, pork, radishes, cauliflower, broccoli, tuna fish, mayo, Alfredo sauce...anything rich and creamy is icky...sour cream etc

I had jaw surgery in Feb 2011 and was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks an then soft foods for almost 6 months...I still tend to eat softer foods since I have my braces but it's doable...I lost 18 lbs during the liquid stage but gained it back after a few months...I went back to my usual eating too much

I'm so tired of everyone telling me that if I just exercised more and ate less I'd lose weight!!! If it were that simple I'd do it!! I work from home and sit at a desk for 9 hours a day...I try to clean on my breaks and relax a bit after work. I have worked out at the gym and done slim fast/south beach (at different times) and I barely lost any weight! And then when I got disgusted and quit I would shove my face in self pity! I ate pizza tonight oh how I love pizza which is the worst thing I've eaten since seeing my nutritionist. If I didn't eat it I know I would be craving it more and eating more crap! I have gone to therapy and talked to my shrink about my weight...yeah it's a pain to be fat and it's not like with my giant boobs I can run... People tell me I should start walking which I can and do and then start interval jogging/running. Yeah if I didn't have DDD boobs slamming around I would. I was also told that heredity has nothing to do with my weight and it's an excuse I use! How hurtful! I am just not telling anyone any more that I'm getting a sleeve. I don't feel like I need to be ridiculed even more!!! If I didn't care I wouldn't be going to a nutritionist and I wouldn't be having surgery...

I had a friend who decided to get banded and she quit talking to me a few years ago. It was like she cut out her "overweight" friends. Makes me sad!

I'm 31 years old and have been fat for the past 12 years or so. I struggled with anorexia in high school because my dad was always calling me fat and that if i could pinch an inch I needed to lose weight. He was physically and emotionally abusive to my mom, sisters, and I. After I got a fiance and started feeling decent about eating in front of him all hell broke loose lol. I don't know what happened but I kept gaining weight. It was like my body rebeling against me. I've tried for 10 years or so to lose weight and I'd lose a little and gain even more back. I've tried South Beach, Slim Fast, Weight Watchers, the gym, and more to lose weight and I can't keep it off. I was talking to a gal at work that just had gastric bypass and I was always one of "those people" that said "I don't need surgery, thats a cop out, thats the easy way out." When in fact I think I was just jealous of them taking control of their weight. The gal I was talking to told me about the sleeve since my only reason for not doing surgery was because I didn't want a foreign object in me and I didn't want my intestines re-routed. It was like a light bulb went off!!!! I researched everything I could and decided to do it! I looked up my insurance info and found the Northwest Weight Loss Surgery center in Everett, Wa. They had a lot of great reviews. I didnt' know what doctor to choose so the receptionist picked her fave doc for me. I love Dr. Michaelson. When I went into my consult he told me I was more knowledgable than med students he's seen!!! Makes me feel good lol. (I went to school for medical assisting and I want to be a Nurse Practitioner someday) I had my first meeting with my nutritionist this week and can't believe how much my portions really were! The size of fruit is supposed to be like a tennis ball....the oranges I buy are huge and so are the apples. I was eating almost 6 or 7 servings of fruit a day! and 2-3 servings of chicken at one meal... I told my husband I'm going to do this and he supports me although he thought that I was just going to go have my fat cut off...lol...he's silly.
