eire_heart74 1231 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 01-19-06, 12:06 PM (EST) "Christie's Scar" I have to say I was shocked to see the scars on her arm from the plastic surgery. I sure don't mind having my flabbing arms now. I found it interesting that she was walking around town with Rhonda without her jacket and her arms exposed in a Cami top. Wasn;t she just crying in group about how she felt so scarred and felt like hamburger meat? Did she get over it that fast?   Top

But like u eire heart I noticed she had her arms showing in a cute top with Rhonda. Maybe u can't see the scar when she is just walking with her arms down for this exercise. I can't beleive that dumb a** plastic surgen. Look what he did to her. He scarred her for life. I would sue. Whats his excuse for her mutilation, ooops!!   Top

And for someone who has lost that weight her docter could have had her exercising where as that skin would not have been hanging.. But looking for a easy quick fix for your body and not dealing with the tru issue of eating is a bad thing in itself.. And why should the girls keep drinking and once again do any of these girls take meds for any problems..   Top

sissy 30 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 01-19-06, 01:22 PM (EST) 3. "RE: Christie's Scar" I think that Rhonda probably encouraged that whole being exposed thing along with walking around and comparing the other body parts. I know what its like to have a nasty scar like that ... its easy to say its not that bad, but until its on you, then you really don't know, she is probably is a mental state of "another reason to hate my body" due to the scar but she is definitely going to have to learn to love the good and the bad...she definitely needs to learn to love herself.   Top

She does have long hair which covers the back of her arms. I am not fat and have no scars and I am too shy to wear those little tops. On this show the women really let it all hang out. Fat or thin they all seem to appear so comfortable with their bodies even though thats obviously not the case. Anyone else think that besides me?? I hate wearing teeny clothes.   Top

I don't have a teeny body thus I don't wear teeny clothes (besides the fact that it wouldn't really be 'age appropriate' for me). It drives me crazy when I see over-weight women (in particular) wear those short cropped tops and they have their big old gut hanging up - do they honestly think they look GOOD??? I imagine they do because I can't see them looking at themselves in a mirror, seeing how ridiculous they look, and then saying wow, I look like crap in this top - ok I'll wear it!" If they're wearing it they obviously think they look good - talk about being delusional - and I don't think it's a matter of being comfortable in their own skin - I think they just feel it's fashionable and don't really care that they may not have the body type for that particular fashion. At my current weight I wouldn't wear clothes like that even if I were 20.   Top

eire_heart74 1231 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Politically Incorrect Guest" 01-19-06, 01:38 PM (EST) 4. "RE: Christie's Scar" The only scar I have is a c-section one. I call it my badge of honor! A constant reminder of motherhood! Do you think Christie sees hers maybe in a same way. A call for anyone who asked gee how did that happen? to hear her story. Maybe she exposes it to get someone anyone to care to ask to listen? Because she doesn't seem that confindent in her looks. A person who was crying just that morning over it and then goes showing it off. She sure isn't over it. I do feel bad for her. I have read many gastric bypasses just lead to more surgery because of the rapid weight lose. Skin can only be streched so far and it's hard to just work it out and think it will all shrink up. This is an interesting begining for her.   Top

"RE: Christie's Scar" I believe too Rhonda encouraged the no jacket thing. it is weird how she walks around others with out it covered up though. wonder if she only thinks about it when with men?? she had no problem walking around the other house mates with it showing. it was a pretty bad scar though. thats why no plastic surgery for me. interesting to see how she turns out.   Top

LisaW 34 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Beauty Pageant Celebrity Judge" 01-25-06, 04:35 PM (EST) 40. "RE: Christie's Scar" Christie has had these scares for a while. So she mostly ignores them. Plus when you walk around they face her inside and they don't pop out they way you would think. They are terrible scars. Seen them in person. The one thing I noticed is that she will cover up her lower body while exposeing more of her upper. She really has no problem walking around the pool in a bathing top. Like I said she will cover up her lower half.   Top

"RE: Christie's Scar" I don't think I'll be having any plastic surgery myself, I'll just have to live with my flabby arms also! But I thought she had a nice shape. To me, she looked great to have lost 130lbs. I can't imagine being scarred like that, I don't even like exposing stretch marks. I think I'll like her though. sig by EnfanTerrible "She's so thin and pretty, I bet she's married and has kids." *nose crinkles* "Can I make you a sammich?" --Starting over freak   Top

And what surgerys did she have? How did the Dr. mess up? IMO these gastric bypasses are becoming way to easy and frequent. I know about four people myself that have had them. And a few of them have had plastic surgey afterwards. Some people are putting on more weight just to get them! Thanks to whoever answeres my ?'s.   Top

Ziggy 79 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 01-19-06, 07:27 PM (EST) 14. "RE: Christie's Scar" Blueskies... Christie had gastric bypass surgery and lost 130 lb in about a year,(she was 267 lbs) and she ended up with flabby "wings" under her arms, resulting in a botched plastic surgery which left her with one arm thinner than the other and pretty bad scars where the doc stitched her up.   Top

"RE: Christie's Scar" I think it was gastric bypass,Blueskies.I can't recall the amount of weight,but will review the tape if no one else has the info.The drs messed up when they removed the excess skin from her upper arm, and,there is a difference between the two.I feel sad when I see the things we women do.Let me restate that.I wish to God the Doc's out there would remember they are practicing the Art of Medicine.Then,when they work on whoever wants these types of surgery,the Drs. would realize the impact of a failure.JS   Top

ForeverHotBabe 84 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 01-19-06, 03:13 PM (EST) 10. "RE: Christie's Scar" That is so true Pixeltalk I agree. Why did Allie wear those LOW, LOW cut tops all the time? The scar is not Christie's fault of course. Maybe its just LA it is warm out there, and mabe she does feel comfortable wearing no jacket. Is she going to wear jackets the entire time in the house? I think not. I think she is an attactive woman. I feel for u losing all that weight and being stuck with all the extra skin. That would suck.   Top

I mean, with some of these people who lose 100+ pounds, they get surgery and remove pounds and pounds of skin (yeccch).   Top

"RE: Christie's Scar" I think the producers or Rhonda made her wear that top but I expected her to try and cover the scars by folding her arms or something. I think most people who are that self-conscious about scars would do that. I feel a little bad for her but she should thank her lucky stars that the scars are someplace that can be covered until she can have something done and not someplace else, like her face. When I see burn victims who stay positive regardless of their facial scars, I can hardly feel sad for women like Christie.   Top

shelley_sargent 73 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Hollywood Squares Square" 01-20-06, 00:41 AM (EST) 16. "RE: Christie's Scar" I will be getting the gastric bypass surgery in February. I wouldnt call it an easy way out now that I have really spent time researching it. I used to think it was the easy way out, but after being on so many diets and losing weight only to gain it back as soon as I look at food and it is actually more unhealthy to continualy lose and gain over and over. It is a major surgery not to be taken lightly. You have to change your eating for the rest of your life and battle nutritional deficiencies for hte rest of your life. There are a lot of things that can go wrong with your surgery such as leaks causing you to become septic and bleeding. Your stomach is stapled to be the size of about HALF A MEDICINE CUP. You are only allowed to eat protein and green foods for the first year. NOTHING ELSE as you have to get only the good stuff in. Sweets will cause something called, "Dumping Syndrome" which is where your stomach cannot handle it so it dumps all the sugar into the instestine causing severe cramping, sweating and heart palpatations. The cut off part of the intestine that actually absorbs the nutrients and calories so you HAVE to take vitamins, usually several for the rest of your life. It is no choice, you could kill yourself if you miss those vitamens and a lot of people have to get B12 shots because they cant absorb them. This surgery has been known to reverse pain, joint deterioration, high blood pressure, hypercholestorlemia, diabetes, sleep apnea, etc. There are a lot of positives. Anyway, Im not lectureing I just wanted to inform yall since some of you do not really know what is involved with the procedure. That being said, I thought it odd that she was so upset about the scars and then went around without the jacket everywhere.

GoodnightLittleBear 461 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Daytime Soap Guest Star" 01-20-06, 02:36 AM (EST) 17. "RE: Christie's Scar" Good post! Thanks for the information. I know a lot of people are going this route and most of the people I know who have done it have been successful so far. A couple of people have ended up gaining their weight back (it is possible to stretch the stomach). What I found rather alarming is that I read that some people are having it done because insurance will pay for surgery to remove excess skin because it is considered reconstructive surgery due to another procedure. If you lose weight through dieting, insurance will not pay for it. As much as the medical profession and insurance companies are encouraging people to take the weight off, they are will not cover the skin removal unless you undergo surgery (which by the way is considered a serious and potentially life-threatening for anyone who is morbidly obese - any surgery is). I think that is reckless on the insurance companies part IMHO. Good luck to you and I wish you the best!   Top

SeagullSoars 2 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "American Cancer Society Spokesperson" 01-20-06, 07:37 AM (EST) 18. "RE: Christie's Scar" I read that some people are having it done because insurance will pay for surgery to remove excess skin because it is considered reconstructive surgery due to another procedure. Actually this is not correct. As a 3 1/2 year post Gastric bypass patient, I can assure you that insurances are doing everything in their power NOT to pay for reconstructive surgery. Also if you meet the criteria for redundant skin, it matters not if you lost it thru diet or surgery, they will then cover it. I also would just like to mention that exercise will NOT prevent redundant skin. Being morbidly obese stretches and fractures the skin, thus the stretch marks, it will never not be there or hang. Yes exercise will help a bit. I cannot get reconstructive surgery covered at this time. To stay on topic, I know I never wear sleeveless or even cap sleeve shirts. and the hanging abdominal skin and thigh skin is as much of a problem. I too wonder how any of these women allow themselves to wear the skimpy type of clothing when they have "body image Issues" Let me TELL them about body image issues! LOL   Top

Thanks! I hope all goes well for me too! I have been reading the memorial pages on the obesityhelp page and its starting to make me nervous!! And just a bit to add to the other post, she is right, it is very difficult to get insurance to approve a pannilectomy (removal of the hanging belly skin) a lot of them want pictures of rashes and demand that this hanging skin must be prohibiting your from daily functions. My mom went through 3 appeals with her insurance after Gastric Bypass and they STILL wouldnt do it, even though it was pulling on her back. Thanks again for all the well wishes, I will let you guys know about my progress after surgery! Shell   Top

kchamp 137 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 01-21-06, 01:19 AM (EST) 26. "RE: Christie's Scar" Oh Shelley! My sister/best friend just had full GBS in late September. She read everything she could before deciding, found doctors with lots of experience and a support group. After the decision was decided to do the procedure it helped her not to worry and obsess about the what-ifs. It is important to have someone you are most comfortable with taking care of you the first week (even when in the hospital) and that you take the baby steps toward recovery at the right pace. My sister has lost about 70lbs so far. I never hear her complain about her aching knee which taxed her for over a decade. All of her blood pressure, cholesterol...numbers are better. She's looking and feeling amazing physical. Giving piles of old clothes away which she'll never fit again. Remember that Christie had an unusual botch up job by a Dr. who didn't know what he was doing. Don't think this would happen to you. Shelley, this is such an exciting time for you. You ARE starting over! I'll ask my sister for the websites she finds most helpful. Hang in there and congratulation for making it this far in the process. KChamp   Top

If you're really overweight and lose it and have enough skin hanging, the only way to fill it out would be to have arms like a male body builder. Regardless, having a butchered surgery like this is a nightmare, especially when it was elective and not necessary. I'm sure she carries a lot of emotional wieght about "choosing" to be mutilated. I will say though, that this surgury leaves a bad scar anyway. Not like hers but a strong line on the underside of your arms. When choosing this surgury, you make a decision between flabby arms or an unsightly scar. People have to weigh which one suits them better. Flabby arms are visable at most times, even with long sleeves. The scar is usually only visable when you raise your bare arm.   Top

roadrunner06 21 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 01-22-06, 08:58 PM (EST) 33. "RE: Christie's Scar" I think they should just name this chick Sommer2. Except that she's a little more interesting and definitely smarter. TOTALLY agree that she is showing the scar for a reason, like our good old friend Allie. I think the fact that she decided to have reconstruction surgery after the GPS shows a lot about her priorities/mental state. She said, even after losing the weight, that she still felt fat and ugly. That's why she had the surgery. Understandable; she'd felt that way all her life. Don't most surgery centers require pre and post-counseling? If not, they should. That's how people become addicted to plastic surgery. They don't deal with their inner issues, and the surgery doesn't help with that. Another thing that confuses me IS the money for these things. Between all her surgeries, she must have spent close to $100,000. Maybe more if she had scar revisions. How can you AFFORD to come to SO? Shouldn't you be paying off your loans? Or maybe she'll just file for bankruptcy.   Top

Twinkles 324 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Cooking Show Host" 01-22-06, 11:10 PM (EST) 34. "RE: Christie's Scar" I heard Christie say that the tummy tuck was included with the gastric bypass and it went really well. She was talking to Dr Stan. She said it went so well, that's when she decided to continue on with the rest of her body and got the extra skin on her arms removed and that was the only part messed up. A woman I knew had the gastric bypass done and her insurance included the eventual tummy tuck. Looking at the extra skin on her thighs she wanted that skin removed, too. She was just horrified by the sight of it. I don't know if she went through with it, but I just recall her reaction to seeing the skin wrinkles and all the skin dangling there as she had lost the first 150 pounds and still had a long way to go - maybe another 175?. (she was fairly tall) Oh, about clothes in the show - I wonder if the weather and packing has something to do with it. I'm not sure if they all show up with the variety of clothes that suit the environment, or if they just bring casual clothes they usually wear. We'll see of course, but what if that's the only very-warm weather top she has?   Top

Reptillycus 12 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Got Milk? Spokesperson" 01-23-06, 02:58 AM (EST) 37. "RE: Just a hint" Christie seems like a real person who wants to be happier and more powerful in her life. I'm rooting for her, just like I am cheering for all in the SO house, even SkinnyLisa, although she will never change. The Universe has to give a Big Whallop to that Girl!!! Christie should not worry about her scars, when she was out with Rhonda on the sidewalk in a skimpy shirt, I could not see a scar at all. I have scars on my arms, my legs, and my tummy from an early childhood accident, they are just a part of me that I cannot remember being without. Many people don't notice them, because I don't. She is just being self conscious, she is very pretty, and hopefully will learn to believe it.   Top

She seems (seems being the key word here) as if she came on the show to work on her issues and move on. I hope I am right. lol. As for the teeny weeny top, Christie although older than Josie looks 100% better in those tops than Josie with her gut and love handles hanging out all over. I also noticed that although Christie lots a lot of weight she still appears very bottom heavy. When I lost over 100 pounds, I ended up with the same shape. Small on top but bottom heavy. Guess we all can't be like Kate Moss lol.   Top

She doesn't have time to worry about them in the Cal weather. If you've ever been to Cal and it's hot you see everyone in something cooler to wear weather they are heavy or not. But what you will see is Christie covering up more of her lower half. She has no problem walking around the pool in a bathing top but will ware shorts or short over-alls to cover up with. One arm is especially bad in Christie's case. The scars face the inside of the body so they don't nessasarily pop out for veiwing. Plus it's easier to ignore them when they face the inside of your body compared to oh one on your cheek. Ex-in-law   Top

However, it must be difficult for her to deal with the scars. If she has the confidence (or gains the confidence) to wear the tops she wears, regardless of her scars, then I can appreciate that. At least they are on the underside of her arms and aren't always visible. Good luck to her.   Top

They looked kind of like stretch marks to me. They did not contrast a whole lot with her skin. The horrible thing was the effect it had on her before it was corrected. How awful to have your arm swell up because there was no return circulation! I'm sure she is self-conscious about her arm but I'm glad she is not letting it control her life.   Top

"RE: Christie's Scar" I give Christie a lot of credit for walking around in sleeveless tops. Good for her. I have a nasty scar on the outside of my right arm from a car accident when I was 11 yrs old and I wouldn't wear tops that didn't cover it, even in the heat, for the longest time. It takes some self-esteem to stop worrying about it and just being glad you're alive because that's what I think of when someone now notices it. I get comments when people notice it thinking I had a botched tattoo but hey, whatever. Kudos to Christie!!! I wanna see that girl fly like an eagle. She's gonna be fun to watch grow and learn to really love herself.   Top
