i have been geeling all of the same ways as you guys! Why haven't I done this on my own? My parents wouldn't approve of Mexico. Am I crazy? Will I ever be able to eat sushi again? Urgh. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

I never understood that. The girls with the HUGE breasts (myself included) never get the pretty bras!!??? Wazzupitdat???? It's my one asset. I don't get it. I'm going to chunk the ugly bras and parade around in cute ones. I might get arrested... it might not go over well at work.... maybe i'll wear a shirt too!

AWW MO! you beat me to it! LOL

Karla, I'm also a self pay (which is why i'm getting it done in mexico, i was approved in ocala, fl originally). Started a year ago. Congratulations, nice to meet you~! I'm ready for this surgery to be over now All right everyone- updates on how you're doing?

Time to live- check out the other XXX thread. It started out as that exact question regarding swallowing. All sorts of answers (that mostly say it's okay if you're into that).

Oh my gosh, beachee it just seems like yesterday when you were getting banded.

Another thought... Everyone knows about the FUPA but what about the FLPA. I miss mine from back in the day. Now it seems- icky, and fat. With the weight loss, does that go away too?

Pop rocks sound painful.

The original question was about semen swallowing. I can't imagine why you couldn't ask about anything!

So I was at home last night, thinking of great sex, and I took off my clothes and then five hot guys climbed into my bed. We had some feathered handcuffs (you know, the pink kind) and some other interesting toys. Okay, kidding. I thought there should be something remotely naughty.

There is diet minute maid lemonade, which I think is pretty yummy. I think it has about 5 calories.

AND.... Swallowing- if he comes when he is deep in your throat and you just swallow... then no tasting the yuckiness! That is usually my ultimate goal. If you spit, then I feel like you're just tasting it twice (and I don't particuarly enjoy that part) IMHO

I'm a perv, but unfortunately the only way I get in on it is vicariously. I need to find a boyfriend....

I'm jealous of the married peeps too. I'm single and have been for two years. Very, very, very single.... these things are just memories!

Poor Funny, Stupid recycled airplane air! Hope you feel better soon.

Hi guys, I'm here! I have been working too much lately! I'm kindof looking forward to surgery because I get a whole week off! I have completely finalized everything- got it in to the office. I also found out there might be a glitch with my florida follow up doc. I told someone else about them (I called them during the planning phase and they said they'd see me, no problem). Anyway, they told the other person that they only accept on a case by case basis and she needed to have her records faxed over. I'm really hoping this doesn't fall through. I found some stuff for my silly audit (I didn't do anything to cause it), and I'm hoping it's enough. We'll see. It's due today. Okay, enough griping :) Oh my gosh- my ticker kindof scares me... only 11 days???

Where is everyone? (one-one-one) (echo)

That sounds ominous!!!! ***Shaking*** :eek::) I like to read this thread to know what's going to happen next. Barb, I hope you get your fills just right next time around.

Typically you can't wear underwear or tampons in the operating room. They will, as a matter of fact, remove them for you should you have them when you go in. Medical professionals don't care about a little blood. Not a big deal for them.

I just realized i hijacked your thread. My apologies! Just anxious and curious about what's gonna happen. Sorry! Hope you slept again last night.

Sherri, Funny, Did you guys both get the same band? Do you think that that's the same one I'll get? Hey, check it out- that butterfly's made it halfway down the ticker.

Lol (in a nice way!). It's called a spirometer and it keeps your lungs filled with air instead of the little pockets inside "collapsing" (called atelectasis). It keeps you from developing pneumonia. It however, doesn't get any air out of you, other than making you move the air already in your lungs. Spironolactone is a diuretic! (Water pill) The air in your belly really has no other way out of your body except for you to wait for it to be reabsorbed. You shouldn't pass it or belch it, there aren't any openings for that from the inside. You are like a doughnut- the hole from your mouth to your anus is entirely closed and basically is a long tube through your body.

Just a thought... Stitches in outer skin are ready to come out in 7 days. I would imagine quite a bit of healing goes on in that first week.

Thank you Paula :eek:

Sorry about all your troubles. I'm being banded 7/31/06.
