    Hi Pinkies - Just checking in.  Recovery from eye surgery is going well.  Can't wait to get my glasses.  I am not liking the cheap readers I had to get but will put up with it for awhile.  Amazed at how much better I can see.

    Val - Sorry to hear this is happening to your DH.  Relatives can be cruel and they sometimes also think they are entitled to be that way.  Shame on them.

    Hi ladies, I'm new to this forum.  Anyone know of any good plastic surgeons in the New York Area ( city, long island).  Need another revision and want to get a PS that will actually get it right.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Val, into the fire they go. No one should be treating you badly!!

    Jo, I'm glad your recovery is going well.

    mjh, Welcome to the Bonfire. Wish I could help you, but I'm now a west coast gal. Hopefully someone will be along with some suggestions. I seem to recall seeing a New York get together thread awhile back. I'm glad you found us. A wonderful group of women here. If you're a bit crazy, you'll fit right in!! If not, you will be after awhile. :)

    So far I received Krackers photo. Anyone that wants to participate in the baby photo contest, please send me your photo. I will post them all on party day with a list of possible recipients. We can see who gets the most correct. If you'd all like to do it a different way, I'm open to anything!!

    GMA, I changed my avatar picture just for you. I thought for sure you would recognize the picture!!

    Mommy, we will all be in your pocket next month. Just let us know the day of your surgery.

    Tomboy, are you melting yet? I almost turned on the air conditioner today.

    Alyson, did you have your MRI yet???

    Ducky is way too quiet! There's a newbie here Ducky......where is the welcome mat from the oldest, smartest, prettiest.....etc???? Hope all is well with you!!

    Tomorrow I start pain management. I'm excited to see if they can help.

    Hi Lucy!! :)

    Love to All!!

    welcome MJH - Those are my initials too so we have something else in common.  Sorry I can't help you.  I live in the Lone Star State of Texas.  Someone will come along with what you need.

    You do need to beware of Firekracker.  She can be a pistol at times but also is a lot of fun.  On the other hand,  Ducky needs watching for sure.............

    As for me, they call me "Queen" and I have to remind them every now and then.  LOL!!!!!!!

    Seriously, we can be serious when we need to but we strive to have lots of fun.

    firekracker - I live in Queens so either someone in NYC or Long Island would work best.  I've done tons of looking up doctors and reading reviews and looking at their creds that now my head is spinning.   Of course, there's the other issue of will they accept my insurance but that's for later.  Even if they don't take my insurance but someone has used them and has had great results I can at least go for a consult so that when I finally do find a PS that takes my insurance I'll at least have something to question them on.  I still can't believe how naieve I was thinking that the MX is no big deal, I'll just get bigger, perkier boobies.  you ladies really need to get my head straight!!!!

    firekracker -  thanks.  will look now.  How do I get over my fear of looking for a PS and knowing when I find the right one??  Maybe I'm just scared of another procedure that could potentially mess up what I already have.  All you ladies that have gone B4 me need to knock some sensei into me!!!!

    To all my tata sisters who sent me a PM, thank you.  As I quickly learned, you are only allowed so many PM in a day and therefore was not able to respond to you, but I assure you I will.

    Robin -  welcome.  I'm new to this forum too, and all these ladies have already helped me tremendously with advice, cheer, support and most of all humor.

    Robin and Firecracker -  I'm also orignally from Brooklyn.  I lived in Greenpoint.

    Robin -  yes, I did.  Thank you.  I couldn't post a reply in PM because it limits how many you can send in a day.  Will respond tomorrow.
