Kat, us and our kids, they may turn into adults, but we will always worry about them and their happiness....hugs to you and DD.

Bridgette, who is going to do your surgery? Dr. Terracina did mine over three years ago. Welcome and I wish you the best.

Oh, I see you're on here, you peepin in on us,huh?

Betty, it sounds like you deserve some serious R&R. Diane, SignG where are you, what ya up to?

Well, I hadn't heard of the silicone sheets, so I guess I'll follow up with my PS tomorrow and find out what he suggests.

HAPPY EASTER

DITTO EILEENIE! HAPPY EASTER

Mommi-aka-Lynn, I have that same swelling, just below the scar, but now I've got swelling around where I use to have a waist, LOL. When I went to PS on Thursday, he said I had a type of dissolving stitches that takes up to six months to completely dissolve. After seeing Karey's BBs, I'm considering implants when I have to go back and get that "area" taken care of. He suggested I not be hasty, because I was still dealing with swelling and that I should be taking Tylenol for the swelling, anyone else been told that? I also forgot to ask him about a prescription for bleaching cream for my scar(s). Anyone used that? Happy Easter everyone!

Karey, you look great, the top looks like the picture I sent you. I'm having issues with the swelling above my TT as well. I went to PS Thursday, he said he may have to lypo the area that he and I are not pleased with, just great, then he pinched the midriff and said maybe there too...not unless it's a throw in, LOL. Now I'm regretting I didn't get the implants, there's always next time, LOL.

Karey, when I had my first "mini" tummy tuck, I remember seeing the pic of my tummy after it was cut out and it looked like a piece of cherry pie, LOL, talk about weird. I have the after pictures tomorrow, I hope to see my before pictures. I think I mentioned my doctor did show me pictures of before and after, comparing one breast to the other which hadn't been done yet. I do intend to tell him tomorrow that I'm disappointed in the breast, still too big :biggrin:.

Kat, I forgot to mention, I agree Mexican is very easy to eat. I do well with chips too .

Kat, I drink OJ all the time, but can't do a baked potato, which is not a bad thing, LOL. We had lunch at UNO's today, had to go spit after the first bite, errr, I was so hungry too! They have an awesome Soup bar for lunch now too, but it ended at three, we got there at 3:15 AND the bar was still out, but they wouldn't let me order it, I was pissed. I eat out at least 5 times a week, sometimes more than that, still don't know why we put in a kitchen. I always bring food home, so that takes care of dinner .

I'm not a guy/man, but I'm very happy for you. I know I love my "tool" and love my new life with the band .

Oh no, not again, no wonder my stockbroker just called the house and my cell phone, he must have some killer deals, imagine that! Those poor cows! You've got nerve girl! Gotta go check on my broker, LOL.

Hey girlies, went to the beach house this weekend. It was great Friday and part of Saturday, then storms set in Saturday and high, cold winds on Sunday. Friday night is still a blurr, and I think it caught up with me this morning or either I've got what Eileenie's got/had. Eileenie, did you drink any orange juice and vodka, sorry, I couldn't resist. Oh, I was so bad, we got to the beach about 3:00, started with a couple of screwdrivers over lunch, which for me was not a lot of food. After a walk on the beach, we went back to the same place Friday night, Diane knows my favorite spot, (Awful Arthurs) we've eaten/drank lunch there before, hehe. Kat, the healing is pretty much done, except for the swelling in my lower tummy, still tender on the sides from the lipo and the girls are about a full cupsize too large :mad2:. Had so hoped to be a small D or large C. I'm down to a 38 around, but still DD's. Sherry, are you crazy? Now's the time to ask for a raise or a new position or both. Go for it girl, they can't afford to say no now, I know how I'd feel if my new girl told me she was going to quit. I don't remember if I told y'all, but I had to let one of my girls go for stealing, I had special tracking software put on my work computers and this girl was stealing me blind, she was sending out letters for her boyfriends business on my time, my computers, my printers and my postage. Then she went and applied for unemployment, WTH! NC Diane, sorry about the leg surgery, ouch! Sounds like the gathering will be a blast, but that's too far for me. Gotta run catch up with y'all later.

Carla, wishing you the best tonight and tomorrow, because I know you're a nervous wreck tonight :drool:. Hugs! PS Call me if you need me.

LJM, try wearing cotton undies under the garment, it reallllly helps.

Great NSV, WTG!

Jetti, I didn't start using Protein powder until recently, well the last year, I use the Rice protein, vanilla, I just use larger scoops, because I don't think the grams of protein is as high as soy or whey. It doesn't have that Vitamin smell. I get it from the Vitamine Shoppe. Oh yeah, a 3 week vacation....I couldn't imagine. I had a hard time being gone 10 days, LOL. I wonder if you could ship an unopened container to your destination. Not sure of customs laws and rules.

Showering with drains was my worst experience with my TT & BL/redu, my drains came out on my 1 week post op visit. It's been almost two months for me and I still have a little Fluid in the belly, I can tell at night when I'm on my side, then flip to the other. The girls are losing size not quite the overflowing DD now. Hope you get your drains out soon Karey, it will make such a difference with the way you feel and move around. LJM, thanks for sharing the pictures, you've been through a lot! Can you tell a big difference from day to day or week to week with the amount of swelling you're losing?

Laughing at you both, I hate the drive to the Southside, LOL.

Angie, I had to laugh, that's exactly why I wanted to be a "large" C, so I could buy the matching bras and panties. Oh well, unless there's a lot more swelling, looks like I'm stuck with D's.

Just curious what do you consider to be the perfect cup size? I'm having TT and breast reduction/lift and lipo on back, flank areas, tomorrow morning, if I don't chicken out, LOL. Not sure if I want large "C" or small "D". Scared chitless in VA, Pat

Eileenie, sorry you had a bumpy day yesterday, hugs! Betty and Sherry, time changes, pain in the a$$, LOL. How's the UT today Betty? Sherry, you keeping everyone straight? I'm so disappointed I waited too late to sign reply to Alex. The site has been pretty good of late don't ya think? Kat, how was dinner? Well, gotta go work on DS computer again, apparently, I didn't get it done last week. I know he's waiting on me to buy him a laptop. Did i mention he's back with bipolar woman....just a little over 5 weeks ago she had him locked up, WTH is wrong with him? Even if it's lined with gold, when is enough enough? He called the other day and said he needed to pick up the video of the birth of gson, to get a copy made for her, I told him she could kiss my a$$, after keepin my gson from his dad and gparents for over a month, using him as a pawn, hellll no! I think he was shocked, bcause I'm usually the peace maker...call me DONE! OK I'm done venting, see Eileenie, I just get mad, heaven forbid I should start crying, talk about a flood, I've got enough tears saved up to float a boat. I've turned into a real hard ass I guess. SS, too much info, later girlies....hugs!
