I'm going to play the devil's advocate on this one...I'm not sure I blame him for such a conservative fill, mostly because he doesn't know how the patient will react to a small fill, mind you an aggressive one. I think I'm on the doc's side for this one...

I could go for a mojito tonight...oh wow... For 150 calories, I'll take it.

Seriously, can one of the mods do something about this spam crap? I don't mean to be overly pushy, but come on...

I haven't, yet, had any problems, but I'm sure that a PB is not out of the realm of possibility.

:clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2:

Ok, look, people: There are a few types of stem-cells: Adult Progenitor, aka satellite cells "Cord Blood" Embryonic - THIS IS THE ONE THAT EVERYONE IS SO ABOUT. There is VERY little promise in embryonic, MOSTLY due to the fact that the cells are just too "primordial" or biologically indifferent to really make a decision on what to be. The stem cells that we get out of cord blood is the most promising. It is not as "primordial" and is more apt to repair and adapt. Adult Progenitor cells, or better known as satellite cells are in the human muscle cells that repair breaks or partial tears in muscle tissue. THERE. Now, go fight about nothing. Stem cell research is great and will save the human race one day. Now, quit bitching and get informed. I'm might do a degree in this stuff. It's fascinating.

I was able to sleep on my stomach 5 days post-op, but everyone is different.

Well said, well said. Now, where's my dinner. :hungry:

A little somethin' somethin' called a PB. Granted, one was just me being stupid. The other was just eating a LITTLE too fast. hahaha

So, tomorrow, I'm going to start the Cool Running "couch potato to 3 mile" routine. I will run a 5k if it kills me. hahaha.

I'm doing good! I'm down 20lbs and this little devil has taught me portion control. hahaha. A few times.

I can vouch for her intelligence!! It almost rivals my own. hahahahahahaha.

Truly, there are two things that caught my attention with this "post". Allow me to outline: 1. A previous member of MENSA and IQ of over 150, just brainstorming here, should be able to spell "fascinated", among many other words. 2. We're all happy for you that you like wine, are claiming to be a part of an elite group that constitutes the top 2%, and didn't intend to lecture anyone, but I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Promise me that you won't tell anyone? Pinky swear? Good. No one cares. I could go on, but I assume once you put your tail between your legs and can be humble among us mere mortals, you'll let us know. Side note: You were the straw that broke my bad day's back, if you wanted to know why I'm so grumpy.

Moderation is the key. This is true. Personal preference, though? NO fast food or VERY sparingly.

I have my "fat" days and my "skinny" days, but I, too, can't take a compliment. Why? I have no idea.

Well, that girl that I mentioned in a previous post that I thought was perfect for me said that she was ready to go back out with me until some falling out with her roommate (female) happened. Somehow there's some other guy that's fitting in here. Not really happy about that. So, now I'm getting the bat to both sides. She's seeing someone else AND she's not thinking about getting back together again. I've been seeing other girls on and off since we broke up, but they've all been for not, thus far. I'm just really pissed because we would be a really good couple. I think we both see it, too. See, here's the kicker, now. I want to stick around and wait to find out what she wants to do, but I'm trying to be her friend and now that I know that something else is going on, I'm not quite so eager. Yes, I know. There's a million fish in the sea and I shouldn't be worrying so much about one girl, but I'll tell you that there's just something about her that I'm absolutely smitten with and I can't get over it... Help?

Hey, I'm 22 and almost two weeks post-op. Honestly, this was the best thing I've ever done.

agreed, I would like to see it.

No, no, YOU have got to be kidding me. Have you seen admission demographics for major universities, heard of affirmative action, read the newspaper, or stepped out of your shelter in the last, oh, 5 or 6 years compared to 15-20 years ago? Didn't think so. Your nieve optimism is appreciated, but sorely mistaken.

I did my research of doctors in Tucson, as well. I actually know most of the doctors personally from long time family connections and I'll tell you the drive up to Phoenix is actually worth it.

You don't think that I have to fight stereotypes? You are SADLY, SADLY mistaken. Oh, and overprivelidged...hahaha. You, my dear, are very, very uninformed. When it's easier for a white male to get into college than a black, mexican male or any foreign race, let me know. Plus, how can you automatically assume I came from a upper-class family. Is it because of my more conservative views? Methinks you have some learning to do about making stereotypes.

I can't tell you how important that really is...:phanvan

Congrats on the band. Pre-med, too? Very nice. I'm 2nd year at the UofA.

Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep going! It's not terribly easy, but it's so worth it in the end!

I'm the same way.
