Cheapest Flights..?
fallingwhisper replied to SaraLou's topic in Mexico & Self-Pay Weight Loss Surgery
Check out allegiant air. They only go to certain places from certain airports though so if you're not opposed to playing around with dates and airports, use it. I got a cheap plane ticket to Vegas next year, saved 400 dollars compared to what Expedia was offering me! I do have to drive 50 miles to the airport, but that won't cost 400 for sure! -
Has anyone got the book advertised on here about the sleeve?

When is your surgery? Mines October 2nd! -
Whens your date? Mine is October 2nd! A month and 5 days away and time is flying! May I ask what books you've read?? I've done enough research on this surgery, I could almost do it on someone! Really though, I've been asked to come talk to future classes with my doctor. None of my research came from books though, and I am a bookworm. I hope your 6 weeks flies by as fast as it is with me!

How long after surgery were u functional?
fallingwhisper replied to Mrs.FullerRN's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I reacted that way when I had a D&c. A minor surgical procedure, and it took me almost 40 hours to wake up. My family was freaking out. I was so confused when I woke up -
What is the outfit you dream about wearing after you slim down ?
fallingwhisper replied to leslie1958's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've always liked the ugg boot /sweater dress outfits, but my calves are too big for normal ugg boots. I know they make fat legged ones, but I can't pull off that outfit at this weight without looking pregnant [ATTACH]17587[/ATTACH] -
I couldn't find any in stores, I had to get it off Amazon. Someone a couple comments back posted a link. At 11.5 grams for a tablespoon, it's worth having around

Preventative measures.... Body Wraps and compression garments. Do they work?
fallingwhisper replied to Blondi418's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Ok, she uses this one http://m.wikihow.com/Do-a-Home-Body-Wrap Don't do it more than once a month. For a simple overnight wrap, slather on a thick layer of any kind of firming lotion. Plastic wrap the skin, then ace bandage the top. Leave on overnight. She does this once a month also -

fallingwhisper replied to Blondi418's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I'll try to find the recipe for it, but it's home made home made. Plastic wrap, some kind of mixture on your skin and hot towels over the top. My friend does it all the time for her baby belly pooch and it's looking really good -

fallingwhisper replied to Blondi418's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
27 here, and I'm worried most about my arms. I have a pretty big stomach, but hardly any stretch marks, new or old, on it. My insurance pays for the panni removal so I'm not too worried about that. But the first thing I notice about people are their arms, and if I have big giant bat wings I'd never wear anything short sleeved. I'm planning on dry brushing, firming lotion and homemade body wraps. Along with exercise, of course -
October Sleevers - Who else
fallingwhisper replied to clefofcividale's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
October 2nd in Bismarck, North Dakota here! -
I've had them since I was very young, my mom says 3 was the earliest she remembers me having one. I get them when I'm really stressed out about something. I use Abreva on mine, it's expensive, 17 bucks for a tiny tube but it lasts me forever. I expect to get one when I have my surgery just because of nerves

Recommendations for a gummy multivitamin
fallingwhisper replied to GBFree82's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My doc said no gummies, cause they can't be sure of how much you're absorbing from them -
Questions for you seasoned sleevers
fallingwhisper replied to SLF1027's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi! When's your surgery going to be? Mine is October 2nd, only a month and a half away and I'm excited! Don't forget to add chapstick to your hospital bag. From what I've read, it's the most important thing people forget -
