Surgery Question ?



Recommended Posts

Yasmina...TLBC will generally schedule your first fill the day of your surgery....for 6 weeks later....so just try and have them make it for that day.

No they don't generally hurt. (I'm a bad person to ask.....due to some issues I had with fills but I'm not the norm).

How: put saline in needle; put needle in port; plunge needle to put saline in band; pull out needle. All done. Quick and painless. (in 99% of cases...even the "odd" cases don't actually hurt; just take longer to hit the port).

no....good gawd, no freezing required!! These folks in the States who need freezing are wimps!!! LOL....and no numbing creme needed!!! LOL.

Really....it hurts not more (even less so) than getting a needle; pulling out a splinter hurts more.

and...take it from me....THIS statement coming from someone who was poked for 2 hrs looking for the port (okay, it did start to hurt but who wouldn't hurt after 50 pokes?). But that was an abnormality.....they generally get it on the first or second try.....piece of cake....2 mins tops.

They stretch the skin so tight, that you cannot feel the needle hardly at all. Honestly, the thought of having it done is 50x worse than having it done. The thought of having it done still freaks me out, but I could do it all day, it dosent hurt.

I guess if someone was really worried about the pokes they could talk to thier fill Dr. and see about using an OTC creme to numb the pain.

Something like Emla cream would do the job nicely. Basically put it on the skin 30 min prior to the injection.

I used that cream a few times when I had a vien done. Did'nt do much, but the cream is great for a bikini wax! LOL

Sorry, I meant to say refrain from the bikini wax. I have been thretening the wife that I might have to buy a speedo for the hot tub once I get skinny.

Damn board shorts hold too much Water & drag it into the house.

Maybe I will get the Borat mankini.

Anyway, how did this go from Yasmina's fill to me in a speedo?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
