Well odds are when I deliver, she won't be the one there. There are 4 docs in rotation, one of which is HER obgyn. I'm just crossing fingers it's not her. I'm not confrontational in the way that, I couldn't transfer to someone else in her group because I'd run into my doc and her nurses and I'd feel even more weird.. But, when I lived in Nashville I had the BEST gyn, I wish so bad she was here.. she was 'jolly', always giggling and telling funny stories and made me feel so comfortable.. and she loved babies, so she gushed about all her patient's babies all the time. Anywho..

(Sign-language???) All..the..money..bein'..spent..what...do...you...think? :tt2:

Easy to say unless you have my obgyn. And I like to think it's only because of the special circumstances (pelvic kidney, not wanting C-Section as an option and baby needs to not be too big), and not that she's just a bitch about weight gain. But it really seems like--and she is gorgeous any way you put it. She looks like a slender sexy 20 year old.. when she's actually a 40 something mother-of-3 20 year olds (I still get hung up on her looks, I never believed she was her age). In any event, it's hard listening to her lecture about my gain.. although (Maybe I mentioned this?) I lost weight since my last appt. and the nurse weighing me said that and I'm like "YUP I am glad you noticed!!" and then when doc came in, she ALWAYS first said something about my weight gain--this time, she didn't even acknowledge the loss. Not even to say "You didn't gain"--nothing--not one word about the weight. Did rub me the wrong way. Too late in the game, but I kind of wish I had changed docs, she just doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy. She was fine for a gyn, but as an obgyn I want someone who makes me smile and feels happy about the whole thing.. she always makes me feel uncomfortable and like I'm annoying her by being there, so I rarely ask questions.

First, I've seen plenty of ads for Acai berry diet on myspace (that comes to mind) that boasts celebrities lost weight using it (and their pics)--and I know they did not do it, and they are not getting paid to advertise it. The Acai Berry is a scam, and anyone saying they'd offer you money for your pics-- I would bet money they are a scam too. It's probably some scheme that ends up making you pay them to get it set up and then they say they'll pay you after the fact, or they send you a bad check etc. I would run far away from a blatant scammer asking you to help them endorse a scam. Ooo ooo, first time I've gotten to point this out--- the line in my sig is about this. You can't cheat an honest man.

Birthday Cake Ice Cream is calorie free too, right? Mmm.... Ok, this is not to spark a debate among us, but just because I don't know any Obama supporters in 'real life', to get an Obama-fan opinion. It baffles my mind right now, so I wanted to find out.. Stimulus Watch: Keeping an Eye on Economic Recovery Spending What do you guys think right now with the 800 billion Obama has spent so far? Are you happy about it?

After that, most surgeons require an initial meeting with them, a psychological evaluation (I think insurance requires this too), a pre-op for lab work, and any other lab work that might be specific to any known conditions you may have.. and then you have the surgery!

May be it's regional, they don't try to sugar coat the immigration problem around here--and it's not as big a problem here as it is in other places (I lived in New Mexico for a couple of years before moving back to Alabama). Although, I get a lot of my news from a national site and they talk about it too, so it can't be completely regional.

12-Year-Old Girl Raped By HIV Positive Illegal Alien : Diggers Realm Illegal aliens murder 12 Americans daily Triple murder prompts law against illegal immigrants

I'm late to this but here's something for you to think about. Illegal aliens linked to gang-rape wave And, I wish I could find the story now but I don't remember names.. a man last year who had been REPEATEDLY arrested for sex crimes against minors, and somehow kept getting out--and never deported. Last year on his last release he raped and killed a little girl. So the whole theory about 'you don't ever hear about them raping or murdering'.. false. You just haven't been listening.

Funny you say that, I actually watched a lot of the Food Network during that time too LOL.

SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!!!!!!!! :tt2:

Oh I forgot who asked about Flax Seed (Michelle?) I meant to say, I had taken it, and my friend takes it.. who knows if it's true or not, but Flax Seed (oil) is suppose to make your skin more elastic..so like when you lose weight, it tightens up better.

Must have to do with how people are shaped, I thought the Belly Band was a complete rip off.. it just rolled off of me.

Welcome Ms Spencer! Sounds like you're headed in the right direction, is this for insurance approval?

Welcome bounser! Great news on the insurance approval, that is always a plus :eek: Good luck with your journey!

That's not completely uncommon, I've heard of people getting depression post-WLS due to many factors (anesthesia IS a reason) as well as the fact you had major surgery and just had a major lifestyle change implemented (much like how depression can hit people after buying a new house, getting married, having a kid, etc.) Talk to your doc, and see if they can recommend a psychiatrist you can talk to while you're taking this transition.. or your doc may prescribe you something for the time being.

Welcome to the forum! It can take several fills to get to that 'sweet spot', so don't give up :eek:

Congratulations on getting your date! I'm glad you enjoyed the forum, hopefully as you become a versed bandster you'll have plenty of things to contribute yourself!

We've never heard of those things! It was in the 70's yesterday, and we had super cells & tornadoes. :eek: I forgot a couple pics..

Thought I would set the mood! And then Guntersville!

I was wondering the same thing :eek: Woohoo Tracy!! I can't wait to get my fill back. Although I've already started dreading the 6 hour total trip to get the fill.. I have to figure out something to do with Carson, and I don't want to leave him that long so soon after having him, but I'm not taking a newborn on a 6 hour trip!!!

It's not a hoax, it really does shrink your liver. It may seem like torture, but this will pass and you'll forget how trying that diet was in a short time.

Did someone mention already Dr. Phil was going to have a show today explaining why she pisses us off and showing just how much money she is costing us?

Hah, after my post I googled Enell--that sounded familiar. That's it! That's the one someone on forums recommended, and now I definitely recommend. The sizing is weight loss friendly I have found too. I bought mine to fit me when I was a 46 DD, and I'm now a 38 D (well back to DD with pregnancy, but before pregnancy!) and it still fits and works great.

Oh oh, someone on the forums a while back told me about some sports bra they swore by.. had to order it online because I think it came from the UK?? Anyway, it is THE BEST. No jostling, and it is extremely comfortable. When I get home from work I'll find out the info and come back and post it.
