LOL!!! I can't wait for 24 hours of 'A Christmas Story' every holiday season! I have holiday favorites on DVD, but it's not the same! LOL

My mom is a vegetarian, but she isn't a Vegan. She just does it out of habit from growing up poor, and never developed a taste for meats. She NEVER gets sick --- so I know it's a healthy way to be. I envy those with the willpower to convert.

hey Brig!

oh that IS funny, poor girl! Well, since I have been a vegetarian for

20 plus years, I confess that booking the surgery around Thanksgiving

was hardly heartbreaking. I though 'phew, off the hook this year' -

no wondering what to eat, what to bring, how to answer all the

annoying questions. It will be fabulous to be just recooping on the

couch and watching beloved holiday movies!

You are SO right! it's not the same as 'finding' those gems on TV, isn't that funny! I have my favorites too, don't we all - and you know, I love Christmas commercials too! KissofSadness@... wrote: In a message dated 9/23/2006 8:05:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, emeraldkittee writes: It will be

, Are you going to have a wrap on right after surgery? I used my ace bandage wrap the first two weeks. Dr. Feng told me to keep this tight at first to allow the muscle to re attach it'self to the ribs. (where the implants used to be). Then I used the the tight uni boob kind, that way size wasn't a factor. They usually go by 34, 36, 38 etc. I wore this for about another month. I actually liked these better because I felt more secure with the pressure. They did make me look real flat, but I was too sick to care. Now, that I have fluffed out, I have some shape in them. I still prefer them to regular bras. During the first month after surgery, I went to 's secret to get measured. I sill had my tapes on and used it as an opportunity to share my story. It was a real eye opener for the girl with the measuring tape. Congratulations on setting the date.

Thanks for answering, . You know I don't know if I will have a wrap after surgery. I have a follow up appointment in 4 wks, so I will find out then. So, I take it your implants were under the muscle? I like the idea of the pressure too. Lamse <wannabe_proverbs31@...> wrote: , Are you going to have a wrap on right after surgery? I used my ace bandage wrap the first two weeks.

Yes, my implants were under the muscle. Dr. Feng had to do alot of scraping to get all the scar tissue out from inbetween the ribs and muscles. There was a lot of pain in the rib areas for some time. In fact, it still hurts there if I push on them. And my surgery was over 7 months ago. Emeraldkittee <emeraldkittee@...> wrote: Thanks for answering, .

Congrats on going in for your surgery,

I have my residual capsuectomey sceduled this wednesday. I am going

to look like a mummy when I am done, well it is getting close to

Halloween, she is doing complete capsulectemy on my left, no drain

just tightly bandaged, she said for fluid buid up. she doesn't want

to put another foreign object like the drain in with the high chance

of infection in my case. she said if we get to much fluid build up

she can go in sterile with the biopsy needle and drain if it is

needed, I guess all surgeons have their way of doing these

procedures, I do trust her she is very caring and takes her time, on

her card it says, " a great surgeon should have the eyes of an

eagle,heart of a lion, hands of a woman... " I love that, anyway hope

everyone else is doing ok, I probably wont be here for a few days

anyway,

love and aloha
