Hi Laura, I am glad you found me. The sleeve is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I am down 51 lbs and want to lose 50-70 more, but I already look better and feel so much better. I am exercising....going to the gym at least 5 days a week. I am so glad you are doing well. I enjoyed our time shopping. My daughter stole my gucci bag. I never got to carry it. lol

Hi there,
Laura Quinlan here. We were sleeved around the same time. I've been wondering how you are doing? How is your weight loss journey coming along? I didn't have a great amount of weight to lose, 45 lbs, but have lost 33 so far. I feel SO much better. I feel like I have my life back after so many years of yo you dieting. My friends and family have been very supportive. So eno...

I just arrived home from getting my sleeve. I could not be happier. Dr. Almanza and all his staff was wonderful. I didn't have to lift a suitcase. I met a lot of very nice sleevers and we struck up a bond. I went alone and never felt unsafe....I just tried to enjoy the experience and pretend I was on wls vaca. The weather was beautiful and I was cared for so well. It did take 2-3 hours to get across the border (return) but with all the vendors it was very entertaining. I splurged and got a wonderful upper body massage. Severo was my nurse and did a wonderful massage. I will have to go back when I get thin to get a strong handsome hispanic man to give me another massage. What is the saying what happens in Mexico stays in Mexico. lol -
How come no one bothered to let me know that Dr. Almanza is HOT111 I am surprised that part has skipped the forum

Too funny, my Dad uses the same "wet paper bag" expression and he is an Arkansas Hillbilly! I always think of my innner skinny girl as being tough and I always have. I guess because I was the tomboy growing up. I guess that is why my fake name is boots, cause "these boots are made for walking and that is exactly what I'm gonna do...." lol

Simply amazing and inspiring!!! Congrats.

Hey gang, July 27 boots1 Ruby Sheila aslimmerme Our time is drawing nigh!!! After months of stalking this forum, buying protein powders of every kind, stocking up on vitamins, biotin ect. now it is finally showtime. We have been encouraging each other, preparing mentally for this battle of the mind.... to win and take control of our lives. We have to put away the devil of doubt and know this is a time of renewal and transformation, that we have been waiting on..... perhaps for years. This is our long awaited miracle. I am not nervous, I am at complete peace and just so very thankful for this opportunity. You are all in my prayers and thoughts. I hope you are all as excited as I am.

Congrats to you all. May the Lord bless and keep you. May you all have peaceful sleep and sweet dreams.

I am enjoying your blogs. Once during one of my many weightloss plans, a nurse told me, that you lose internal fat around your organs, then you lose inches when the fat is replaced, so probably about the same thing..

Sending prayers your way!!!
