Keep a few extra pairs of hands around to do the job!

I can vouch that Marty is indeed okay, and the Akron medical community is on notice that if they do ANYTHING that hurts my grrl, they will wish that Michelle was their biggest problem!

Marty, I almost melted my cell last night, we talked so long! It was HOT when we called it a night! We'll have to continue our conversation once my phone cools off.

Default Y'all are scaring the crap out of me

Not trying to make light of your problem at all Marty, but between you and Dyann's issues with PS, and Dale's post above, I'm thinking my little wrinkly torso can just stay that way... I'm a-skeered.

PS on us is major surgery. I'ts not a simple lunch hour break procedure and you're back to work in a few days. Our skin hs been beaten up withall the damage we did to it. We are much higher risk for all the complications, even the odd ones than the general public has. I almost bled to death with my PS. I was the first in thousands of patients for my surgeon that needed a blood transfusion.

I love my results and I would do it again. I mean, my boobies are sooo soft and squishy

Naaaaahhhhh, I don't regret. I am happy with my results. I do have to admit that I may remove the implants later if they keep encapsulating. But I LOVE my plastics.
