    OH That's PRICELESS . If it has the hospital label on it. Somewhere if needed you can find a nurse or someone that will say this doc requests his pts to leave the hospital with needles. Its not a matter of causing trouble this is SO not safe. Were you self pay or Insurance ? Just curious if he's trying to save money for himself or what the deal is ? Mindy

    12 Yr old Girl has Liposuction to LOOSE WEIGHT !

    Oh her parents had all the answers let me tell ya . They were very smug about it . I coulndt belive someone would let their kid do that. I have BIG issues with parents who let 17, 18 yrs olds have PS (or pay for it ) But at 12 GIVE Me a BREAK . Mindy

    anyone experience dumping syndrome?

    I would say not to eat them and see what happens. Personally and dont take this the wrong way it sort of sounds like your wanting someone to tell you its dumping syndrome ? Again dont take it the wrong way that's just the feeling I get from your responses ? I know your also telling what the symptoms .. But I get the feeling your wanting someone to tell you that's what it is. I would suggest going to your doc and discussing it with him . Like wheetsin said its hard with Name that syndrome. Mindy

    anyone experience dumping syndrome?

    This sounds like it could be gallbladder attacks or IBS. I think when I had my "gallbladder' attacks it was really IBS. Mine started very far apart then slowly got more frequent. At first I couldnt attribute it to any food at first because I think different things did it. even now its kind of hit and miss with my IBS. Im not 100% sure my gallbladder attacks were that. But my doc said my gallbladder was diseased . So might be something worth checking into . My IBS Is pretty regular now. Several times a month it happens . Mindy

    12 Yr old Girl has Liposuction to LOOSE WEIGHT !

    OH God I didnt know she required a tummy tuck.When my friend had her Lipo done she said they they could only take out so much at one time. I guess that's why she had it done twice ! Her parents said on the show " She's been on a diet since she's 3 so she know's what to eat and not to eat she hasnt changed how she's eating " OK How did that work for her before the surgery ? If it worked she wouldnt have had the surgery ? UGHH . I cant belive a doc did this . Makes me glad I didnt go to him for anything when i was thinking about it . Mindy

    I would not toss it personally , I would keep it to prove the idiot gave it to her. Plus she needs to dispose of it properly in a sharps container. Hell i would take it to a new doc to prove to him he did it maybe then he'll take her as a new patient if anyone gives her problems Mindy

    LOL Maybe so . I came around about the age of 25 or 26 . I still had ALOT of rebelion in me. About the time I got married things changed. Its funny though how parents can make grown children ( adults) feel like they did when they were children by saying or doing certain things. My parents stilll do something. I was SUCH a screw up as a teen. (ie having a child at 16 lol) My parents STILL treat me like I screw things up on occasion or like they dont trust me. But I get over it now. My parents were good parents but they made some mistakes. They still are making mistakes that I THOUGHT they would have learned from me . I have a little sister who is 15 , she's 8 months older than my son . My parents apparently didnt learn when it came to their " Ways' On sex w/her. Well guess who she came to to ask about getting on the pill ? ME ... Why ? My parents didnt make it easy for her to talk to them just like they did w/me. They frustrate me to no end sometimes with her. She told me the other day " Im glad I have you cause mom and dad sure dont make it easy " Mindy

    OH I would make a big deal out of this. This is probably against the law. If he's doing it once he's doing it with every pt im sure. This is how infections spread. Granted she can insure herself safety but not using it . But what about those pts that think Docs are God and take what they say for gospel ? They are out there too. These people are in danger in my opinion . Mindy

    They arent that's the problem . LOL I know I wasnt . Your mom is probably just trying to get to know you . Or be involved when she realizes she wasnt last yr. I did not want my parents to know anything about me, what i was doing , they would have been the LAST people I would have told my problesm to as little as 5 yrs ago . ( I still had some rebel in me then ) Now, my mom is the first person I go to with problems . My husband and My dad are so a like its SCAREY SOmetimes. lol.. When i was younger I could not STAND my parents . >>>>> I just caught something. Were you living with your parents last yr ? If not the probbaly have empty nest syndrome. LOL They miss you and want to know everything your doing because your not at home. I saw a thing on oprah about this wants. They are called Helicopter parents. Cause the "Hover" From a far LOL Mindy

    LMAO I learned from my parents with me, talking or lecturing doesnt help . it does in one ear and out the other. Plus my son is dyslexic , so he learned better from SEEING , hands on things LMAO . He was complaining one time about how he never gets anything , after we took him to do something, never satisfied kind of crap . TRYING To act like a spoiled brat. We warned him to stop. He didnt so he spent the night on the back porch with a tarp for a blanket ! He learned to appreciate things for awhile. Some of my friends say how Mean I am , but ya know what , my kid might attempt to give me lip every once in a while , they are the ones who have kids tell them how they hate them , argue with them something NASTY and are the ones that they have to go find at 2 am. My son says Yes mama and NO sir , respects his elders. My son KNOWS better lol . For now .He's not perfect. But he does have manner which is more than what i can say for some kids. Mindy Mindy

    I am not an expert or a nurse, but i have worked in and around hospitals and docs offices for a long time and this strikes me as VERY ODD. For something to be sanitzied properly it would have to be autoclaved. SO unless you saw him put it in a little oven looking thing for several mintues. Im not sure what the reasoning would be behind this ? Others might . But once a needle goes into the body its open to bacteria . I wouldnt put it back into my body . Just my input Mindy

    lol It works. When we catch him on the phone too late or his grade slip the door comes off the hinges. He looses his right to privacy when he doesnt keep up his end of the bargain . One time he wouldnt do the dishes with out complaining , so i went in and put some the dirty dishes under his bed. It took him a week before he noticed. I told him ' you have ONE CHORE you you bitch and moan about it DO IT Or your room will stink from now on when they dont get done . LOL We get creative with him so the rules sink in . So far he's a good boy and all his friends think we are " Cool " LOL Mindy

    EXACTLY , My son got in trouble not too long ago and we couldnt think of what to do to get it to sink in. SO we took his bed out of his room ! LOL Now if he has a friend that gets into trouble he'll tell their parents " Take his bed out THAT Will get their attention it got mine" . What ever it takes to get their attention , even if its not convient for me. Mindy

    I think you are the rare exeption to the rule. And you and your parents have done a great job . However that is not usually the case . If you give most children too much freedom they will get into trouble.. Children need guidance. I also think that your still looking at things as a "child" not as a parent. Not that you are a child or act like one but your not a parent raising a child. Parents tell their children to do things or not to do things to not "Control" them but to guide them or to teach them . As a teen we think its control but its parenting. It hasnt been but 15 yrs or so since i was a teen, my son is half my age almost . . I remeber all too well how it felt. I felt like i was being controled. As a parent there are things that we give up and sacrifice for our children. I gave up my entire teen yrs to have my son as well as college and I would do it again . There are things I will NOT ALLOW from my son so that he will not have to go through what I went through and THAT I will NOT Compromise on . . Rules are rules they are my rules, he can either choose to follow them or he can not . if he does not then he will be punished , If that means some incovienceince on MY Part then I accept that its part of being a parent. And I bet if you asked your parents they would have done it , They are lucky that they didnt because you were a good child. Mindy

    Ocular Migraine?

    Im a chronic migraine sufferer. With out my preventative meds I get them 5-6 times a week on meds 2-3 times a month. sounds like ocular migraines to me. If you are getting those symptoms with out the pain , count your lucky stars. When i do get my migraines i take meds to make them go away , most of the times it works sometimes though it doesnt and im in severe pain. I have had migraines since i was 11 and im 31 now. I get migraines with Aura. The Aura is what comes on before the migraine. Mine is the visoin in my L eye goes out for about an hour. I also have smell sensations . I smell things that are not there. Mostly gasoline or propane. I know its wierd. I am also VERY sensative to smells when i have my migraines. One thing i will tell you is if you have a migriane that is different than another migraine of have a migraine that last for more than 72 hours you need to contact your doc or go to the ER . Woman who have migraines with Aura's are twice as likely to have strokes than those that dont. And migraines w/aura was just included into stroke risk factors. So if your pattern changes go to the ER .I know several woman who have had strokes and their only risk factor was migraines. Preventatives have given me my life back though. It took 15 yrs to find the right combonation that works but I finally found it and im "normal' again . I never realized how bad I felt until I started feeling normal again . HTH Mindy

    My son has 3 friends ( all 14yrs old) that are all very good friends of his. 2 of the friends are brothers and their mom is a single mom and works all the time. she works until midnight everynight . So they are home from the time they get off school until midnight alone, And every weekend alone. The other friends mom is a young mom like myself ( she had him at 17 ) however, she would rather be at her boyfriends house or out partying all the time than at home with her son . SO all 3 teenage boys have NO Supervision on the weekends. All of them started coming to our house after the high school football games on Friday night . They all started hanging out at our house alot. One Saturday night after a halloween party we took the one kid home who's mom parties and he said " Man I dont want to go home and sit there alone again my mom's not going to be home" I said ' Why dont you just come to our house then " He called his mom and shes all for that ' . We now have all 3 of those boys ever weekened all weekend long. The mom who works alot asks me if its ok because she knows they are supervised. The other mom , well her son was at our houe Frinday Night and she didnt call to contact her son until 11 the next morning ! she had NO IDEA where he was. He tried to call but her cell was off. Anyway my point of all this is , these boys could do what ever the want all weekend long, but they would rather be at our house where they know someone is there to care for them and supervise them . Kids WANT and NEED supervision . These boys all have told me they like it where a parent is home. Sorry that got long just thought ide share Mindy

    Sorry but parental responsibility doesnt stop when you turn 16 or only when its conveient for the parent . Yes it may make things easiser when your kids start to drive. BUT If you want to keep their butts out of trouble and inforce your punishment , trust me as a parent you WILL invocneinve yourself and rearrange your schedule . I WILL Make those arrangements if it means my son finishing school and inforcing a punishment I made and him learning a lesson MIndy
