Made me change my mind from tacos to tostadas for lunch. Having a hard time with foldovers.

Do you get to keep the extra skin, in case you need a patch somewhere else ?

Bwhahahahaha.... I dont know why that made me laugh out right but....

I am looking at probably a twenty pound loss when they remove skin from my tummy if I loose my weight.... The ONLY cosmetic surgery Medi-cal will approve after loosing weight.

Um, lifts almost always involve cutting out extra skin, regardless of what is being lifted.

Hence Joan Rivers' term, "pull up and snip."

Watched them do a face lift once years ago on one of the TLC programs called 'the operation'. Mid way through I was wondering why anybody would ever WANT to do that to themselves. Afterwards I was embracing the loose skin under my chin and my jowls! Now I love it! LOL

Just got back from the doctor's. Flunked my Bone Density Test. On Fosamax now. Dr. said we were lucky, we caught the osteoporosis early. Let's see, that's Osteroarthritis, Borderline RA, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Osteopenia and Osteoporosis. I keep wracking up new diagonosis.

Guess the doctor I saw ten years ago was right when he said 'better get a bone density test some time, you know you're a skinny white broad' Speaking of skinny. I've lost 21 pounds now. Told them they should start promoting methotrexate as a diet aid. Only 4 more pounds to go to reach my goal. Should have no problem there. No appetite.

But unfortunately heard a big NO when I asked about my second pneumovax and flu shot.

Honestly, cap, you will not regret having the brow work/eyelid work done. We had several patients that we recommended for the procedure and they were thrilled with the results. Like any surgery, yes, you will be bruised and sore but it will be worth it.

the brow and eye lift are simply to see properly... My eyes are becoming more and more shrouded ....

With the tummy lift its to keep my tummy fold from having Yeast infections... Which are painful...

Guess what?

The leather strapping came, it fits and it works!!

BF is going to try and glue our original flyer. There's a guy who can't fix it but will make a new one and will then use all the old parts to finish the flyer for me. Considering I don't have plans at the moment to spin, I'll save my money and just glue the old one since it isn't fixable.

Just wonderful to save a relic like that

Oh they are more than painful. I've seen some wicked ones where the top layer of sin is excoriated from the yeast. Almost made me cry in sympathy.

Having to have the epicanthal folds nipped and tucked in this case is to clear your pupils of obstructions so you can see better. With the folds, your vision upwards and to the side is impaired.

So, Definitely not a bid at narcissism when you are trying to improve your quality of life.....but of course, nothing wrong with looking better while you are at it.

Geez Micro, it is amazing you can do anything at all let alone all you do!
