    Stitches>popped>pulled???

    Hello everyone. I never had any of those feelings of pain. But, when I went for my first and only fill, it was done in radiology. Now get this. I had a tummy tuck on 5/28 and at my post op appt, I mentioned that my port had moved about 3-4 inches. And then found out my port was not even attached to anything !!! How does that happen ?? What if I had not had any surgery ?? I think I blame my bariatric surgeon, but who knows ???
  5. Just stopping in to say Hello. Thanks for letting me add you as a MySpace friend. I enjoyed looking at your page. I like reading all the posts on this website, but the profile pages are better on MySpace.

    I hope you are enjoying your time off.

    September 07 Roll Call

    kmmhmomof4, I wanted to wear a swimsuit this summer whithout my breasts hanging down to my belly button. And, we had the money so just decided to go for it. Also, had to do it before my husband had other uses for the money. I am happy with my weight now, another 10 pounds would be nice. But, I'm not in any hurry.

    My mom "spilled the beans"

    I have a big family in numbers and pounds. Yet, I am a very private person. So, I really don't talk to much about my surgery. If they ask questions and are not judgemental, I will talk about it. I work in a hospital and had the surgery there as well. Lots of people notice and say I look good. But, I am the one who doesn't let it get any further. People will usually respect your privacy and drop the subject if you do. I was a lot more sensitive at first, not as bad now. People who judge are usually just jealous. Good Luck.

    Urinary Catheters

    I had a catheter and it was removed immediately, don't remember any of it. However , I could not urinate for several hours, believe me I tried. So,not sure why my bladder was so shy. I suspect it was the anesthesia. But, I had a tummy tuck last wed, and a catheter as well, was able to urinate immediately. No infections. Just wanted to let you know about the retention. Good Luck !

    Spanking

    I agree with booboo kitty, people who "abuse" their children are ignorant. Child abuse and spanking are two entirely different things. The parents or caregivers who cross the line are not going to change with education. Taxpayers have forked over money for education on smoking, drinking, drunk driving, sex, teenage pregnancy and so on and so on. Has the education really changed anything ??

    How often do you weigh?

    Once a week is more than enough for me. When I was on the diet roller coaster-- lose 20 then gain 10, you know up and down and up and down. For almost 20 yrs. The scale was my master. It controlled my feelings, my outlook, how I treated other people and what I ate. It was very depressing. Since my band, once a week is my promise to myself. I am a nurse, so I weigh on the same scales at the same time. Now I'm not on a diet roller coaster and it feels good. The scales are what we make out of them. evil-vs-good ..
