Just curious who did Dr. Kelly recommend?

thanks Julie, It makes me feel so good about my decision when I see women that have done as well as you. There will be a VS near me soon so I can't wait to go in and try so "real" bras on not sport bras.

I think you look fantastic. This is a personal question but I am going to ask it anyway!! lol. I noticed that you have bigger boobs? Did you keep these boobs after your weight loss or did you have plastics done. I am very worried about my boobs because they are big and I don't want them to turn into tube socks lol. Sorry if that question is off limits.

I bet when you start losing the weight you will be questioning why you didn't do it earlier!!! Hang in there, from what I have heard it does get better. Can't wait for my turn in a week.

Ok am I being tested??? In the last week My 4yr old daughter has choked on rice and I had to do the heimlich, had pink eye, had hives all over her body, & now she threw up all over herself and her bed. For frigs sake all this has to happen a week before I am supposed to leave her alone with my aunt and go to Mexico to be sleeved. Don't know what to do.

Thanks guys, this is such a challenge and I haven't even left yet.

Have you considered Mexico, I am having surgery on March 20 with Dr Ponce De Leon and it is roughly $6000. The only out of pocket expenses you will need is tips for the driver and maybe some food (?) drinks, etc.

@naturalRhapsody, good luck today!!

March 20 in Mexico with Dr. Ponce de Leon. Can't wait to start my new life!!

It's funny but mine lies to me now, it makes me think I am thinner then I really am so when I see pics or videos of myself I think holy frig am I that huge!!!!! I always had a positive self image and hope I can keep it after I have my surgery.

What a change, it is nice to have those before pics so that we can look back and see how far we have come. Can't wait until it is my turn to look at my before pic and just gasp at the difference

Good luck to all the people getting sleeved today, can't wait to hear how it goes!!!!

Hi Cindy, My surgery is Mar 20, I live in Canada so I have to go to Mexico to have it done. My doctor said that I am the perfect candidate because I am healthy "now" and in 10 years I won't be. I am 36 now and a single mom so I need to have as many healthy years as I can. Can't wait to start this new life but I don't have any rose coloured ideas that this is going to be easy, & I know I will miss my quart of ice cream a night. lol

I am having my surgery with him on March 20. I have heard nothing but good about Dr. Ponce.

Wow you look fantastic!!!! Keep up the good work.

Can you share with us the vitamins that you take and how much? Thanks

I feel the exact same way!!! My surgery is scheduled for Mar 20 and the days are crawling by.

I am getting my sleeve on Mar 20 with Dr. Ponce De Leon in Mexico.

I am getting my sleeve in March. My mother is very supportive, even to the point of helping me pay for it, only because she can't stand to have a fat daughter. What do you say, or has it even happened to you, when people think back and say "can you believe you were that HUGE!!" My thing is, at 277lbs, I can take off 20lbs and put them right back on and no one notices, but if I get thin and put 5-10 back on I don't want the "ohhh remember when you were big, you don't want to go back there stare."
