Yippee, great Christmas present!!! Congratulations. Mimi

Hey colorful Kate!!!! Jan 4th I am getting my arms done and breast relocation north of where they are now, LOL, then in March am getting the TT. Doc wouldn't do all 3 at one time as outpt clinic surgery. Mimi

Good luck, Mimi368. It does worry me a little that your seminar is so costly, I thought they were free. Please find out if there is a program fee and how much it is and what it covers. Mimi

Elfie, I haven't found your posts to be objectionable, either. Mimi

You are doing so great, I really appreciate your filling us in on your progress. I admit I am a tad envious about your new mons and labia, hahahahaha. At almost 59, though, I guess droopy is OK. I think my doc is going to do the same arm to boob side thing with me that you had done. It is reassuring that you aren't in a lot of pain. from those sites. 3 and 1/2 weeks before mine get done!!! Mimi

Kate, I join in with saying I am pleased you are recovering so well. Did Mom let your dog come over or are you still boarding? That is super that Mom is taking such good care of you. Can you see your arm op site yet? Are you in compression garments for everywhere? Mimi

Mine costs $500 and that isn't even seeing the doc, just a PA!!!! I think it is excessive. I didn't ask before surgery so it is on me. Mimi

Love the new hair, it is very natural looking!!!! And complimentary. Mimi

Your date sounds lovely (until the kids came) and very romantic indeed. I didn't know about all those restrictions on activity, I hired a housekeeper yesterday to start next week. Now I am extra glad I did so I won't be fretting about not being able to clean!! Your new pictures are great, congratulations on the bikini body. Mimi

Thanks Allie, I was thinking 6-8 wks based on you ladies' progress reports. Bummer, but good to know!! Mimi

SJ, I am glad your office is warmer, not so miserable. I am sorry the binder made you miserable, but the day will come when the swelling is gone. Hang tough!!!! I am already worrying about when I am recovering not being able to work out. Did your doc say when you could start and what you could start with, like treadmill/walking? Mimi

My doc says after the first year of being banded soda is OK, so I qualify. I used to have an 8 can a day habit and getting off it was hard. I tried some a few weeks ago and the carbonation about did me in so I won't be trying that for awhile!!!! Ask your docs what their thoughts are and then decide. It just may make your cravings go wild if you try it!!!!

I am envious, I want to meet you guys, too!!!!! It was great you got together. Fanny, can't wait to see pictures, glad you are feeling better. Mimi

Kate, I am so happy all is well and you are progressing. Keep us posted, please. Best wishes, Mimi

Dang, I hope they give you some more pain meds soon!!! I am glad your drains are mostly out, and you are mostly moving around. Hang in there. Mimi

Allie, good luck on getting a cute outfit for your celebration dinner. Congratulations on your new job and the ability to say no to your former boss. I, too, am a reformed smoker and hate to have smokers around me. I am interviewing for housekeeping help for a few months and said I absolutely would not have a smoker in my house. Their supplies smell and so do they!!! I hope your fill helps. Mimi

I do it too and I am 14 months out. I don't think it hurts anything. Are you a little too tight? Mimi

Thanks for the update, SJ. Now I am glad I kept dress slacks 2 sizes too big so I will have something to wear. I bought some sweat pants for $5 a pair at Walmart, but it costs $8 to hem them so I won't be wearing them out in public!!!! Not going to pay that much for 2-4 wks of wear!!! You sound like you are doing great, and that is wonderful....except for getting tired easily, which is normal and understandable. I hope they warm up your office for you, being cold is miserable. Take care, Mimi

Fanny, thanks for posting your status, I hope you continue pain free. Why did they have to change your sheets so soon? Do you have a lot of drains? Best wishes for a pain free and speedy recovery. Mimi

One might say it is not meant to be if you are already losing wt!!! How much do you have to weigh to qualify? Mimi

Yes, I will say some prayers for their quick recovery. Your cookies sound good, I can't believe you only ate 1.5, LOL. I would have cleaned out the batch. Love cookies!!! Your pictures are wonderful, except I feel bad for your poor "little" girl!!!! I think you said it doesn't hurt, but it looks like it does. Congrats on the down 9 pounds, that is wonderful!!!! Happy anniversary and enjoy your dinner date!! Mimi

Nice self analysis, Jamie. You should turn things arround with this attitude. Best wishes and keep posting. Mimi

Your doctor is very aggresive with progressing your diet and starting your fills. Yes, you are in B. Hell and there is nothing you can do about it!!!! To minimize your gain make sure you are walking or exercising daily and count your calories. I gained 12 pounds during that time, so I feel your pain!!! Best wishes, Mimi

Fanny, good luck and sweet dreams!!!! Mimi
