Health or medical tourism is a recently coined phrase that denotes tourists visiting other countries not only for sightseeing but also for medical treatment, taking advantage of the low costs prevailing in those countries. It is gaining in popularity as the medical costs in developed countries are becoming exorbitant. Patients can save as much as 50% and more on medical costs depending on the destination. Moreover many of the low cost countries like Panama also provide quality healthcare services matching with those of developed ones.

Panama has a history of having good healthcare system right from building of the Panama Canal in 1914 when doctors from U.S. helped in eradicating malaria, typhoid and other tropical diseases prevailing in Panama at that time. Since then many citizens of Panama have traveled to U.S. and Europe to get advanced degrees in medicine & technology and returned to Panama to set up a good healthcare system. Hospitals in Panama are provided with latest technology equipment imported from abroad. Latest CAT scanning machines, radiation therapy for cancer, three dimensional computerized reconstructions are all available at the hospitals in Panama.

Doctors and other healthcare professionals in Panama are well versed in English which is another plus point that increases the comfort level of tourists from U.S. Medical tourists can undergo dental implants in Panama by paying less than half the cost prevailing in U.S. taking advantage of the low taxes and wages there. Other popular medical procedures include plastic surgery, cardiology, assisted reproduction, ophthalmology etc. Tourists visiting Panama for medical purpose can not only avail quality healthcare at affordable prices but also enjoy the sunny beaches and other tourist attractions of Panama. Another incentive for tourists from U.S. to undergo medical treatment in Panama is that the tax deductible medical expense includes travel cost.

The popularity of alternate medicine also attracts tourists to travel abroad for treatment. Acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal medicine, magnetic therapy, zoo therapy, prolotherapy etc. are some of the alternate medicines available in Panama. With the advent of internet, communication has become cheap and easy worldwide and there are many websites that provide information on the medical facilities available abroad. Pana health is an internet based organization in Panama that provides the service of linking prospective health tourists with doctors and hospitals affiliated to it. Many tourist operators also take care of the needs of foreigners like transportation, lodging etc. visiting Panama for medical purposes. Centro Medico Paitilla and Hospital Nacional are two hospitals in Panama City providing exclusive service to visiting foreign health tourists.

The geo thermal springs in El Valle and Chiriqui mountains serve as tourist cum health spot. Panama grows the None fruit abundantly which is known to aid in boosting the immune system and is popular with health conscious tourists. The doctors in Panama are well trained professionals and have received rave reviews from visiting foreign patients for their dedication and quality of service.

 Top quality dental implants treatment in India at Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai is being provided at a low cost. Indian dental surgery clinics are medical hubs having international quality dental care facilities. Modern dental implants treatment is highly successful, as a general guideline, the five-year success rate of dental implant is over 95% with the lower jaw (mandible) and about 90% with upper jaw (maxilla). The cost of dental implants treatment in India is very affordable plus you get a highly advanced and medically integrated healthcare system in India.

Dental implants treatment in India is provided with the best medical facilities by experienced dental surgeons. If you suffer from the above mentioned dental problems and you want to solve this problem, you may be a suitable candidate for receiving dental implants treatment. The key factor for the placement of a dental implant is to have enough bone in the jaw. Good quality of bones is also important because the decalcification of jawbones leads to the reduction of their strength. Before the commencement of procedure of dental implants treatment the dental surgeon will probably ask the patient about his/her expectations concerning dental implants surgery and estimate the cost of implants. If your jawbone is not wide enough for the placement of the implant, the surgeon will probably suggest some augmentation then the benefits of dental implants treatment will be for a very long term period. Dental implants can be placed into a hole left by a recently extracted tooth or to replace teeth that have been missing for a longer time. Inserting one dental implant takes approximately 30 to 90 minutes. If the dental implant replaces a defective or loose tooth, the surgeon will first extract the tooth and then he/she will place an implant into the formed space. Depending on the condition of the jawbone, the surgeon can immediately place a temporary crown or bridge, or he/she will leave the implant to heal for several weeks. During the next visit the dental surgeon will then place a permanent crown or bridge, almost indistinguishable from the natural teeth.

If one wishes to get dental implants treatment in India at a low cost then medical tourism in India provides access to the best dental care hospitals of Indian metros like Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and Bangalore. The best quality surgeons are there for you in India to provide better and sound dental health in a short time.

Breast augmentation surgery after breastfeeding?

Posted: before after augmentation

My breast surgery is scheduled next week. I breastfed my baby for 2.5 years and quit just 2 month ago. My Doc told me that its recomended to wait for 6 mos to do the surgery , cus there is possibility i have milk left over & there is a risk of infection He checked me and said that i am ok to do the surgery, I already did all the tests and preparation. Yesterday i checked my brests better and after pressing & squeezing them VERY HARD there was a few drops in both breasts, I called doc’s office, they said as long as its not "squirting" I should be fine. Also they’ll put me on antibiotics starting the day before surgery, that should help to avoid infection. My Q is Am I @ the big risk for infection or complication? I will have a lift & fulfill my volume, I got soft hangin’ skin left after the long brestfeeding, I mean u can roll the brests up - i need to fix them for sure & get proportional, I am 25y.o, 5′5 and 110 Lb in good shape, barbells & gym r not helpin from that extra sagging skin

Breast augmentation is serious surgery with many risks. If you stopped 2 months ago, you’re body is still in the middle of the many adjustments associated with breastfeeding. My wife’s breast shrank a whole cup size after breastfeeding and we have talked about the possibility of breast augmentation after we’re completely done having children. But no doubt we/she would wait at least a year. I think it is way too soon for you and the fact the doctor is saying "should be alright" is not very reassuring.

Question about plastic surgery for corrective purposes?

Does anyone know of any programs out there that help people that have deformities or other abnormalites, receive plastic surgery either pro-bono or at a greatly reduced price? Any doctors that are willing to do low monthly payments?
This is very important to me….

This person has no insurance, and it’s heartbreaking for me to see someone I care about have to deal with the emotional,mental, and physical repercussions of having an abnormality that they can’t do anything about…..

If this were my problem, I’d call plastic surgeons and ask if they did pro bono, and if I could come in for a consult.

Posted: boob augmentation

I called a place in Vegas to get an estimate price for how much fake boobs would be. I was quoted around $5100. When you have this surgery done do they automatically do a lift? Do you even need a lift with it if you only wear an A cup in the beginning? My friend was arguing saying you need a lift and there is no way that price includes it. I didn’t want to argue until I knew what I was talking about. Thanks!

You best discuss that with the doctor–each one is different, since each case is different, and you shouldn’t take anything for granted.

Innovation is not necessarily the time saver and the great simplifier people try to make it out to be.

Take for example the picture frame and the gradual conversion to the digital frame, and the added complications it has added to our lives.

Like digital cameras, the digital frame has cut down the cost of photography (remember how much money you used to drop on the cost of buying and processing films every month). However, the digital picture frame hasn’t helped people whose basic grasp of photography is limited to not much more than ‘the big button is the one that makes the picture’.

And let’s face it, that group includes you, me and much of the human race. This doesn’t make life easy for anyone selling wholesale digital photo frames.

The size doesn’t seem to be a factor in how confused we can get when it comes to digital screens and getting the images that are right for them. Someone with a 7 digital photo frame can be just as confused as someone with a 8 inch digital photo frame and heaven help the poor person with the 10 digital frame.

And as gadgets gradually converge into one and people can do more and more with one thing things are going to get more complex too with people having to grapple with photo frames that are also a digital TV receiver, might work as a digital video frame or could even play music.

So before we get into the wiz-bang wizardry that has turned cell phones and media players into incomprehensible devices let’s have a look at a couple of questions:

Do you need to re-size the pictures?
What formats do pictures need to be in?
What should I do to photos look good on digital picture frames?
How can I transfer old pictures to digital frames?

Do you need to re-size the pictures?
This question can be especially tricky for people trying to source wholesale digital photo frames. The answer to this question very much depends on what type of digital photo frame you’ve got. Home digital frames and larger-sized electronic picture frames won’t be a problem, regardless of whether they’re 7 digital photo frame or 10 digital picture frame. However, keychain digital picture frames tend to be a little more difficult and you may need to resize these.

What formats do pictures need to be in?
Depending on what digital picture frame you buy and the digital picture frame you have the format could be quite different.

Regardless of whether it’s a 7 inch digital frame, or any kind of digital frame most of the common picture formats should work on it. These are usually JPEG, as well as the occasional digital picture frame that plays Tiff and BMP as well.

While JPEG is the most common digital photo format a digital photo frame will show there’s no need to get concerned as this is the digital format used by most digital cameras and image devices.

If you’re trying to get wholesale digital photo frames then you might want to make sure it at least displays the JPEG format, as it is the one that most people are most likely to be operating in.

However, where some people run into trouble is when they use their cell phone or their MP4 to take a photo in an unusual format and then put it onto their LCD digital frame.

Thankfully there are several sources of open source converters that are free to download and will get most formats working. These include sites like CNet and Sourceforge. So it’s even possible to get a digital photo from your unlocked cell phone onto your LCD digital frame.

What should I do to photos look good on digital picture frames?
Again this question depends very much on the digital photo frame that you’re using on how to make your digital photo look good. And it’s always good to take a closer look at the digital photo frames digital or paper instructions and manufacturer tips.

However, as a general rule the best way to get the best effects out of your digital picture frame is to make sure the picture is close to the same size, if not bigger than the frame you are trying to put it on and to make sure you have a decent resolution on the photographs.

So what does all of that mean when it’s at home, why does it help if the picture is bigger and picture resolution… whaah?

I think, even people trying to find wholesale digital photo frames would be going huh…

It wouldn’t come as a surprise to many people that you get a better result of making something bigger smaller than you do of making something smaller bigger… with the possible exceptions of bureaucracy and the most common form of plastic surgery of course.

So as a result if you try to take a picture from a keychain digital photo frame, one that might be sized 128 pixels by 128 pixels, and throw it on a 7 digital picture frame then there’s a good chance that that on the 7 digital photo frame that digital photo might look, at best like a Georges Seurat work. Or, at worse, a ‘find the hidden picture’ image or color blindness test.

Same goes for pictures being shifted from a 7 digital picture frame to a 10 or 15 inch digital picture frame, but with less severe results.

The second important consideration to factor in when trying to get the best results for your images on a LCD frame is the frames digital resolution compared to that of the image you’re getting the picture off.

If the image is from a website, it’s a cell phone creation or some digital creation that looked fantastic on the computer screen then get ready for a shock when you throw it on some high res digital frames. While a large number of digital photo picture frames still work on the 72 pixels per inch resolution more and more work are working on the 300 pixels per inch resolution.

What is more when it comes time to print them out to give to Cleatus your computer illiterate cousin “It’s not gonna look all cloudy and muddy like”. This is likely to apply more to larger frames than digital frames that are smaller. A 7 inch digital frame shouldn’t give you too many problems for example.

But it still is a worthy question for people sourcing wholesale digital photo frames as it will help you give your customers a better experience and stop customer complaints and questions before they happen.

How can I transfer old pictures to digital frames?
This question is turning up more and more online as people start to realize the benefit of having a LCD frame that can show off 50 or so photos at once as opposed to a wooden photo frame that will only show one, and which may cost a considerable amount to fill.

Thankfully it’s fairly easy to get older photos from their non digital frames into digital formats that can be loaded onto your computer or onto a 7 digital photo frame.

The first thing to be done is to convert your picture from the physical to digital. This is done with a scanner.

These are fairly common and quite cheap. If you’ve got a computer then it can be a useful tool but even if you’ve decided to go without then photo shops and computer shops will have one that they’ll let you use for a nominal fee (usually just a couple of bucks or a handful of corn or, in some circumstances, a fluttering of the eye and a raising of the lips).

Once the pictures are digitalized they can be put onto a TF card or USB and transmitted to the digital photo picture frames directly or put onto a CD and transferred from the computer via a USB cable.

The normal rules apply when it comes time to save these images, make sure they’re the right dimensions, file type (JPEG nine times out of 10 but check you photo frame) and resolution.

So, it appears that putting images onto digital frames isn’t as hard as you’d normally expect and even shifting a physical picture from a photo frame to LCD digital frame isn’t as hard as you’d think it would be.

The decision to have breast enhancement surgery should not be taken lightly. As with all surgical procedures the personal reasons as to why you need the operation and the potential associated complications should be carefully pointed out and discussed. Choosing a surgeon you are comfortable with, who has the necessary experience and skill to perform the task well with all the required equipment and support is vital.

Being realistic is important. To help make the right choice the following lists of questions have been created below.

Useful questions about the surgeon are:

What influenced your decision to become a cosmetic plastic surgeon?
Does the surgeon have board certification, if so which board are they affiliated with?
What kind of breast surgery complications are seen the most?
For how many years has the surgeon performed breast enhancement surgery?
What is the quantity of breast augmentation operations performed each year by that surgeon?
Is the surgeon licensed to carry out breast enhancement in all US states? If not, why not? Various states openly provide details on a surgeons past history, e.g. malpractice claims and settlements or disciplinary actions that may have taken place.
What quantities of reoperations does the surgeon typically undergo, and what type of reoperation is commonest?

Informative questions concerning the breast enhancement operation its self are:

Where is the breast augmentation procedure carried out, and what is its duration?
If a customer has received treatment they are not happy with what are their options?
What company makes the breast implants?
Are product warranties issued with these implants?
What will breasts look like if the implants that are used in the particular practice are removed?
What are the shapes, textures, sizes, incision and placement sites that would be best for me?
What are the numbers of implanted breast(s) that can be expected for me in my lifetime?
What are the risks associated with breast enhancement, and how likely am I suffer any of them?
How will the appearance of my breasts change over time?
What effect will breast surgery have on my ability to breast feed?
After pregnancy or breast feeding what will they look like?
Have you any before and after operation photos that I can look through?
Explain to me what the patient registry is?
What sort of anesthesia will be used during the operation, and what are its side effects?
What is the cost of breast enhancement, could you break this total down into its constituent parts and their associated costs.
Once a variety of plastic surgeons have been visited and thoroughly questioned you should, if you still want to proceed with the operation, be in a much easier situation with regards to which surgeon you can now choose.

Your operation, time spent recovering and the end result is determined by a whole range of factors that should be understood by you and discussed with your doctor, i.e.:

Prior breast surgery that was made
Infections
Incision scarring
Likelihood of forming a hard capsule around the implant
Your overall health
Chest structure and overall shape of your body
Previous breast surgery
Estimates on the ability of the patient to heal, influenced by activities like smoking, numerous medications and alcohol
Likelihood of bleeding caused by the surgery

Armed with the relevant knowledge and a well qualified and experienced surgeon the vast majority of breast augmentation operations have had successful results. Best of luck!

Nolvadex (tamoxifen Citrate) Profiles by Medpharmacare

Posted by: admin on February 26th, 2010

No Comments

Posted: plastic surgery prices

Active Life: 5-7 days

Drug Class: Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator (Oral)

Average Dose: 10-30 mg/day

Acne: Yes

Water Retention: No

High Blood Pressure: Rare

Liver Toxic: low

This remedy is somewhat different from others since it is not an anabolic/androgenic steroid. For male and female bodybuilders, how-ever, it is a very useful and recommended compound which is con-firmed by its widespread use and mostly positive results. Nolvadex belongs to the group of sex hormones and is a so-called antiestrogen. The normal application of Nolvadex is in the treatment of certain forms of breast cancer in female patients. With Nolvadex it is pos-sible to reverse an existing growth process of deceased tissue and prevent further growth. The growth of certain tissues is stimulated by the body’s own estrogen hormone. This is especially true for the breast glands in men and women since the body has a large number of estrogen receptors at these glands which can bond with the estro-gens present in the blood. If the body’s own estrogen level is unusu-ally high an undesired growth of breast glands occurs. However, in healthy women and particularly in men this is not the case. Despite this, it is mostly male bodybuilders who use Nolvadex, and fewer women. At first sight this seems somewhat inconceivable but when taking a closer look, the reasons are clear. Bodybuilders who take Nolvadex also use anabolic steroids at the same time. Since most steroids aromatize more or less strongly, i.e. part of the substance is converted into estrogens, male bodybuilders can experience a sig-nificant elevation in the normally very low estrogen level. This can lead to feminization symptoms such as gynecomastia (growth of breast glands), increased fat deposits and higher water retention. The antiestrogen Nolvadex works against this by blocking the es-trogen receptors of the effected body tissue, thereby inhibiting a bonding of estrogens and receptor. It is, however, important to un-derstand that Nolvadex does not prevent the aromatization but only acts as an estrogen antagonist. This means that it does not prevent testosterone and its synthetic derivatives (steroids) from converting into estrogens but only fights with them in a sort of “competition” for the estrogen receptors. This characteristic has the disadvantage that after the discontinuance of Nolvadex a “rebound effect” can occur which means that the suddenly freed estrogen receptors are now able to absorb the estrogen present in the blood. For this reason the combined intake of Proviron is suggested (see Proviron.)

Nolvadex is also useful during a diet since it helps in the burning of fat. Al-though Nolvadex has no direct fatburning effect its antiestrogenic effect contributes to keeping the estrogen level as low as possible. Nolvadex should especially be taken together with the strong an-drogenic steroids Dianabol and Anadrol 50, and the various test-osterone compounds. Athletes who have a tendency to retain water and who have a mammary dysfunction should take Nolvadex as a prevention during every steroid intake. Since Nolvadex is very affective in most cases it is no wonder that several athletes can take Anadrol 50 and Dianabol until the day of a competition, and in combination with a diuretic still appear totally ripped in the. limelight. Those who already have a low body fat content will achieve a visibly improved muscle hardness with Nolvadex.

Several bodybuilders like to use Nolvadex at the end of a steroid cycle since it increases the body’s own testosterone production -which will be discussed in more detail in the following-to counter-act the side effects caused by the estrogens. These can occur after the discontinuance of steroids when the androgen level in relationship to the estrogen concentration is too low and estrogen becomes the dominant hormone. A very rare but all the more serious problem of Nolvadex is that in some cases it does not lower the estrogen level but can increase it. Another disadvantage is that it can weaken the anabolic effect of some steroids. The reason is that Nolvadex, as we know, reduces the estrogen level. The fact is, however, that certain steroids - especially the various testosterone compounds-can only achieve their full effect if the estrogen level is sufficiently high. Those who are used to the intake of larger amounts of various steroids do not have to worry about this. Athletes however, who predominantly use mild steroids such as Primobolan, Winstrol, Oxandrolone, and Deca-Durabolin should carefully consider whether or not they should take Nolvadex since, due to the compound’s already moderate ana-bolic effect, an additional loss of effect could take place, leading to unsatisfying results.

A rarely observed but welcome characteristic of Nolvadex is that it has a direct influence on the hypothalamus and thus, by an in-creased release of gonadotropine, it stimulates the testosterone pro-duction in the testes. This does not result in a tremendous but still a measurable increase of the body’s own testosterone. This effect, however, is not sufficient to significantly increase the testosterone production reduced by anabolic/androgenic steroids.

The side effects of Nolvadex are usually low in dosages of up to 30 mg/day In rare cases nausea, vomiting, hot flashes, numbness, and blurred vision can occur. In women irregular menstrual cycles can occur which manifest themselves in weaker menstrual bleeding or even complete missing of a period. Women should also be careful not to get pregnant while taking Nolvadex. It is important for fe-male athletes that Nolvadex and the “pill” not be taken together since the antiestrogen Nolvadex and the estrogen-containing pill nega-tively counterfeit each other. The normal daily dosage taken by athletes corresponds more or less to the dosage indications of the manufacturer and is 10-30 mg/day To prevent estrogenic side ef-fects normally 10 mg/day are sufficient, a dosage which also keeps low the risk of reducing the effect of simultaneously-taken ste-roids. Often it is sufficient if the athlete begins this preventive intake of Nolvadex only three to four weeks after the intake of anabolics. Athletes who have tendencies toward gynecomastia, strong water retention, and increased fat deposits with steroids such as Dianabol, Testosterone, Anadrol 50, and Deca-Durabolin usually take 20-30 mg/day The combined application of Nolvadex 20-30 mg/day and Proviron 25-50 mg/day in these cases leads to excellent results. The same is true for athletes who are in competition, and for women. Women, however, should do without the intake of Proviron or at least reduce the dose to one 25 mg tablet per day. Unfortunately, in most cases, a very pronounced gynecomastia (”bitch tits”) cannot be reduced by taking Nolvadex so that often surgery is required, surgery which is not paid for by health insurance. First signs of a possible gynecomastia are light pain when touching the nipples. The tablets are usually taken 1-2x daily, swallowed whole without chewing, with some liquid during meals.

Nolvadex unfortunately is a very expensive compound. Some ex-amples: In Germany one hundred 20 mg tablets cost $192. In Spain the prices are fixed by the govern-ment and it makes no difference whether it is an original Nolvadex or a generic compound. One hundred 20 mg tablets cost approx. $60 in Spain. In Greece the same quantity costs about $85. The athlete should look for the 20-mg version since, from its price, it is the most economical. On the black-market, mostly the foreign Nolvadex can be found costing about $2 - 3 per 20 mg tablet. Origi-nal Nolvadex tablets can be easily identified since, on the front, ICI (name of the manufacturer) is stamped and, on the back, the name “Nolvadex”. Most of the time the tablet strength is also imprinted. Ten tablets are included in an unusually large push-through strip. In the U.S. original Nolvadex is packaged by the manufacturer, ICI Pharma, in small, white plastic boxes with a childproof screw cap. So far there are no fakes of Nolvadex and its generic products.

What To Know Before Purchasing A GPS Unit

Posted by: admin on February 26th, 2010

4 Comments

Posted: before after augmentation

One of the most popular technological items on the shelves these days is GPS systems. You can find these in the stores, in your rental cars, on your cellular phone, and in a number of other places. In short, GPS navigational units are everywhere these days. They are used in anti-theft systems, on vacations, and when enjoying certain sports outings. Whenever you want to know just where you are in the world, the GPS navigational system is your number one shot at learning this information.

GPS navigational units used to be quite expensive. However, these days it is possible to pick up a reasonably priced unit that is packed with enough features to offer you more than you may need. No matter how many features and how good a price is you need to ensure you know what you are looking for in a GPS navigational system. There are numerous choices, features, options, and prices for all of the units out there and if you do not know what to look for you just might get stuck with something that you do not need or cannot use.

While the GPS, which stands for Global Positioning System, has many uses, the primary use of the GPS is supposed to be to calculate or pinpoint the exact location a person is by using satellite signals. As the GPS learns where a person is then it can direct them to their point of destination.

Boat Captains use GPS navigational systems because they can tell the Captain how far from land they are sailing or how far they are from where they are going. They can also find out if they are right on course. Some Captains even use their GPS system to find and catch fish.

Other sporting enthusiasts that use GPS navigational systems include hikers, campers, backpackers, rock climbers, hunters, runners, and other enthusiasts who are active in the outdoors. Using a handheld GPS Unit in this environment can make things safer. You will not have to worry about getting lost and if you do, you will be given directions to the campsite, home, or any other location you wish to travel to on your trip.

With all of this in mind, it is important to know why you are planning to buy a GPS unit. GPS systems have numerous features but depending on your use of the GPS some features will be desired and others will not be necessary at all. For instance, if you are using it for sports purposes, like a runner might you would want something that is portable and small.

Additionally, you will want it to have weather resistance qualities. You should look for specific features for people that will be walking or on foot when using the system. For example, you might decide to get a GPS unit with a Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS). WAAS is important for sporting trips because it increases your accuracy by at least 10 feet, which is a significant amount when in the wilderness.

When it comes to reception you want a number of channels. You should try to shoot for at least 12 channels. Your GPS navigational system is not going to work without an active signal. Having extra channels will ensure that no matter where you are you have a better chance of gaining the information that you need pertaining to your location.

Now if you are going to use your system in the car, you do not need something that is handheld and small. As you will not be holding it, weight and portability are not serious issues. Instead your prime goal should be finding something that transmits street maps in a clear fashion. If you purchase a non-handheld GPS system, you can have it mounted in your car. In these cases it generally goes on the dashboard. As it is inside the car you do not have to worry as much about durability and weatherproofing.

Once you know what kind of GPS navigational system you are looking for, you should determine what the fair prices are for the possible GPS units that suit your needs. As with all things, you will find some GPS systems are very low in price, while others cost thousands of dollars. Keep in mind the phrase, you get what you pay for, applies to GPS systems.

Do not attempt to buy a $100 GPS system (or less) and expect a feature packed system that is the best on the market. When it comes to the reasonably priced, better end GPS systems on the market you can expect to pay anywhere from $300 to $600.

The following features are important depending on the reason you are looking for a GPS navigational system.

Sports GPS
· Computer Interface
· Back Tracking Capabilities
· Topographical Mapping
· Durable
· Portable/Handheld
· Waterproof/Weatherproof
· Multiple Receivers (At least 12)
· WAAS

Driving
· Street Mapping Capabilities
· External Antenna
· Non-Portable
· Large Display Screen
· Computer Interface
· Multiple Channels

Boating/Water
· Active Sonar
· Weatherproof/Waterproof
· Computer Interface
· Color Screen
· Back Tracking Capabilities
· Marine Mapping

any women out there get breast augmentation surgery after pregnancy? im asking for my girlfriend, who has nice breasts to begin with, but sag a little. how often did you wait before you got the surgery and how much did it cost about?

did you have bigger breasts after pregnancy?
ok before you hate on me, she is the one who wants to know. what i meant was after your last pregnancy, how long did you have to wait until breast surgery
ok before you hate on me, she is the one who wants to know. what i meant was after your last pregnancy, how long did you have to wait until breast surgery

You don’t need to get an augmentation to correct sagging, usually a breast lift is all that is necessary.

I ended up having a breast reduction. They were larger and saggy. I was a C cup before pregnancies, was a DD after deliveries and stayed that way. After the reduction I am now between a B & C.
