Remeber it's not as long as you think. Do you need to go ahead and get the ball rolling and get approval and everything so you can do it soon after exams? I guess you will use Dr.K or will you use a PS? in Bama http://hometown.aol.com/mdl1031/myhomepage/profile.html Surgery- RNY to DS revision on12/6 -377.5 12/17 - 346.5 ( minus 31lbs) 02/12-330.0 (minus 47.5 lbs) 05/12- 304.8 (minus 72.7 lbs)-BMI now 48 06/22- 290.8 (minus 86.7)BMI 46.

You will not believe your own eyes when the nurses take the bandages off and you get your first shower with a flat tummy looking at you, and dont be afraid, but that object just below what used to be your tummy is your " little lady " , yea, no kidding. And now you will see her every time you look down, very strange but true.....lol You have waited so long my friend, but it is only a few more months and you will be there. I know it is hard to wait, but it will be worth it. Sharon in Onyx who marvels at what Dr Bae and K did to her... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I sit down she is covered by skin X rated pics wouldn't be PG for me, All they'd see is skin if I didn't hold it up! in Bama I got brave the morning of my surgery and had Randy take nude pictures of me And yes they are PG rated can't see anything. On the problem of not believing you've lost weight. At one time I went to a counselor and she told me if you want to loose weight all you had to do was see yourself as a thin person.(Me at 260lbs) the problem I had was I have never really seen myself as a fat person.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 I need to get the darn thing fixed, but have to wait until after my exam in August. Sigh... > > Marta ======================= Marta you simply have the figure of a tiny 9 month preggo woman...which of course makes cloths shopping very hard. The good news is that once you get that alien baby delivered and the tuck done the results are going to be dramatic! Plus when you get all your guts pushed back into place you won't be able to eat much at all...you'll already feel stuffed...lol..I guess that's because you really will be stuffed. After your hernia repair and tuck your going to be so tiny I'll look huge standing next to you...I can't wait! Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I agree with Sharon...noooo She definitely agrees with me...lol being the older switch sister has to have some advantage.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2003 Report Share Posted June 25, 2003 Omigosh Mel! His name wasn't was it? (Can't remember his last name.) He sounds exactly like the physical therapist I went to for carpal tunnel syndrome. He asked me bunches of questions, suspected I had diabetes and did a blood test. (No diabetes.) Then he flat out lied to me and told me my cholesterol level was over 300. I nearly freaked! He also told me to eat nothing but salads with only lemon juice and no dressing. I was a basket case for the next week! I was sure I was killing myself with everything I was putting in my mouth. I went back a week later and was speaking to the nurse and when I told her what he said she looked at my chart and said, " No, your cholesterol is fine. Your triglycerides are over 300 though. " I was so mad I never went back to that bastard. Yes, I know it's important to keep triglycerides down too, but my total cholesterol was only 147! Not exactly an emergency situation. I probably should have sued his ass for emotional distress but that's long in the past now. From now on, when a doctor tells me something is out of whack, I'm looking at the chart!

He was the biggest Jackass I have ever seen. The bad part was he treated me for a progressive paralytic illness for 4 months(Myasthenia gravis) before he decided I was just fat. I had an Epstein Barr virus at that time.(Later diagnoised by an inteernist) Anyway after 4 moths of taking a med that he gave me the prescription for then back to back the prescription for the side effects as soon as He gave me the med. I think he didn't know what to do with me and you know the old standby....If you don't know whats wrong, tell them they're fat! in Bama http://hometown.aol.com/mdl1031/myhomepage/profile.html Surgery- RNY to DS revision on12/6 -377.5 12/17 - 346.5 ( minus 31lbs) 02/12-330.0 (minus 47.5 lbs) 05/12- 304.8 (minus 72.7 lbs)-BMI now 48 06/22- 290.8 (minus 86.7)BMI 46.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 Yeah, I've heard that one more times than I can count. Amazing how many jerks there are out there in the medical field.
