    How Did You Choose Your Screen Name?

    Self explanatory....

    My surgery is Feb 20th also....I was extremely hungry the first 3 days, but now I'm ok. I started my pre op diet a week ago, and I did cheat a little bit at first. I start liquids only on Friday, not sure how well I'm gonna do with that.

    Anyone Want To Be My Valentine?

    ShoeLover replied to blackanese25's topic in The Lounge

    I hate Valentine's day - I think the thing that sucks is seeing all the ladies in the office getting nice floral arrangements from their hubbys, and knowing that I won't be getting jack. P.S. I love me, but it would be nice to be appreciated/admired by someone else.

    Hello, does anyone know of any good cosmetic dentists in Tijuana? I am going to Mexico for my sleeve on 2/19, and I'd like to also have a dental consultation while I'm there. I want to get an estimate on some veneers.

    2-20-12, TJ with Dr. Garcia. Where are my sleeve sisters/brothers?

    Hey Lady! Good Luck to you - I know all about that Louisiana food, its my favorite. Along with Mexican, Italian, sushi, and....shoot everything's my favorite, which is why I'm in the predicament I'm in. I go to New Orleans just about every year for the Essence fest, and I remember feeling so crowded and stuffed in the seats at the Superdome. I affirm that this year I will have room to spare! Update us when you get a chance.

    My Mascara Story

    ShoeLover commented on Mrs.Prisses's blog entry in Mrs.Prisses' Blog

    YES. I wear big Chaka Khan hair as my distraction. Great blog. It has taken quite a while for me to decide that I don't care what people think about me, as a matter of fact it's really none of my business what they think. What's important is what I think about myself. So I will probably continue to rock my Chaka hair, even after I'm fine and slender, because I LIKE IT.

    ShoeLover replied to LacieMC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Daily Sleeve Schedule

    ShoeLover replied to dominique's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    ok, ya'll are scaring me. I haven't even had the surgery yet, and I forget to drink my water and take my medications as it is. Please tell me it gets better as time goes on.
  16. ShoeLover
    Could you please tell me specifically what you have read or seen on this board that led you to believe that Dr. Garcia is not a good choice? I personally have been all up and through this forum and I have yet to read or see anything that indicates that he is not a good surgeon.

    Does anyone know if you can get the shakes anywhere else besides Costco?

    Anyone Develope Dry Skin After Sleeve?

    ShoeLover replied to DisappearingDivis's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    No experience with that (haven't had surgery yet), but I just read in a WLS book that patients can develop dry skin as a result of not drinking enough water, like you said.
  19. ShoeLover
    Good Luck to you! Come back and update us as soon as you feel up to it. I will be there next month.

    I am planning to have my surgery in Mexico sometime in February or possibly March. I will probably be using Dr. Kelly. I just recently signed up for a healthcare reimbursement account that will go into effect in January. I can start withdrawing from it immediately, but I want to know if anyone else has done this, does this complicate the process?

    I haven't sent my deposit yet, but I started talking to Linda about it a week or so ago.

    Sushi Recommendations?

    ShoeLover replied to UXgrrl's topic in Food and Nutrition

    I'm really glad to know that I will still be able to eat sushi, because I absolutely love it. My question is, how do you eat it? I imagine that you can no longer put a whole piece in your mouth, or you will be chewing forever. Do you cut each piece into smaller pieces?
  23. ShoeLover
    I had to switch from Dr. Kelly to Dr. Garcia, I was working with Trish but she wasn't sure if I could use my FSA card to pay for the surgery. I contacted A Lighter Me and they told me I could use my card, but they did not give Dr. Kelly as an option for my surgeon.

    Gmanbat, your post brought tears to my eyes.

    Looks Like We Lost Some Data

    ShoeLover replied to PdxMan's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions

    I was wondering about that because I had 2 pm's that are gone from my inbox now, and I didn't even get a chance to respond to them. Rats!
