I don't know why that's any different from any other piercing, but it's like if someone told you about sticking a needle in their toenail, that just creepy ick feeling thinking about that anchor.

Yeah, that's what TheFox said too. But you know, I've had my ears pierced for 30+ years and I've only ripped one once. It hurt but grew back. Remember when HUGE MOMBO size hoops were in style? Oh, you probably don't. But they used to be. Combing your hair was a dangerous task. :o

Wasa - Don't forget that they were in style right along side of teased up hair and AquaNet! Deadly combo!

So glad that's over...

OMZ! Yesterday I saw a photo of myself in the early 80s. I had HUGE hair. How embarrassing, I actually went out in public that way. :rolleyes

Hey Voon....

Do you know what AquaNet hair spray is STILL used for? It's SO strong that when you go to the doc and get a pap they "fix" the slide with a spray. If you tear the paper off the can it's AquaNet. It "fixes" it so NOTHING on that slides moves, slides off, or budges in any way possible.

Still makes me laugh, I remember in my early days working for a doc and I never needed to take hair spray to work with me. I could poof it out and use "pap fixer" on my hair.

Ack! That's scary to me. I used to just spray the hairspray and aim the blowdryer at the same spot...for minutes! Poor ozone...it's all my fault!

Hey WASabubblebutt~

I think that piercing is HOT!!!! It is sooo odd...I say "GO 4 IT!" You only live once, so why not do all that you want while you have the time? You worked soooooooo hard on your weight loss, treat yourself to this. I love the "Monroe" was thinking about getting that when I hit my 50lbs. loss. I have several piercings and have yet to have any problems.

Do u know a doctor that would do it?

Okay, so I saw this cool piercing on the news yesterday and although I am about as conservative as they come, THIS one I could do. I am trying to find something fun to do to Celebrate my weight loss.

Check it out:

Sage's Urban Art Tattoo and Piercing

Then go to "Piercing" then click "enter" then go down the page to "Dermal Anchors" and it's the 6th one from the left.

I could buy the item and have a doc implant the anchor under my skin. I could have my jeweler make a real top part that is an actual gem stone.

It would end up looking like a diamond or Tanzanite is glued to my wrist. It's like a pierced earring only the anchor is under my skin on top of my wrist.

What do you think? I saw the tattoo guy doing it on the news, took about 3 minutes or less.

I don't want a tattoo place doing it, I want a real doc doing it. :o

I'm not doing anything without running it by "TheFox" (member) because I am wayyy out of my league on this one. Poor girl, I've sent her at least a gazillion PMs tonight with links asking questions. :)

Thoughts?

That is soooo coool!

I always liked the look of the monroe too, I didn't know thats what it was called till looking at that website.

I debated it for sooo long, but I got rid of all my visible tattoos for the professional world (SIGH).. But everytime I see a girl with the monroe piercing I stare, looks so.. cute. Heh!

No, actually I don't. I'm going to Mexicali with a friend on Saturday and I'm going to approach my band surgeon about it. He's a general surgeon too, no reason he couldn't do it. When he says no, I'm going to say that I understand and I'll just have the tattoo guy do it.

He'll cringe at that. Heh... I'm hoping a bit of manipulation will work. :)

I think one of the reasons I want to do it is because it's tiny. I have had to wear big fat bands on rings and such because of my big fat hands. Now they aren't so fat and a tiny petite little stone would work where it wouldn't have worked before.

Maybe that's one reason I want this. It's not a tattoo, I can remove it myself if I want. I kinda sorta think I might do this. :)

Hmmmm... can't say as I would want anything on my face but my wrist... that's doable.

I am thinking about work though. I'd have to keep it covered 100% of the time. That's not cool.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
