StrangelyNormal

I'm glad I started this thread BC it set our goals right in sight...

I hear he is a very good surgeon

Lucky girl! I wish I could do mine this early but everyone's schedules are too hectic. I stalked this place and did some major research and digging and now that I've found the surgeon and am ready I can't do it for a month lol Who's Ur surgeon, I'm going with Dr Gonzalez who it's a member of the Baja med group

Oh yeah, if you want to watch it,I posted my 1st vlog on YouTube. It's "shesstrangelynormal"

When is your surgery? I'm shooting for the last week of June

Where at? I'm in Durant

when I was thinner my son and I would go to theme parks and they'd harness us and lift us way up to drop us and it feels like you're flying. Those are some of my best memories and I'd love to be able to do that again.

or slide in a booth when the waitress seats us (instead of asking to be seated at a table) and NOT have my stomach squashed

the day my thighs don't rub together I'm so gonna attempt a cartwheel

Francisco Gonzalez, M.D. Chief Bariatric Surgeon Doctor Gonzalez is a Board Certified medical doctor in Mexico. He is a renowned expert in minimally invasive weight reduction surgery. Doctor Gonzalez has been performing obesity reduction surgery for more than 20 years with great success. He is one of the first surgeons certified by INAMED (now ALLERGAN), the provider of the first LapBand approved in the U.S. by the FDA. With over 4,000 weight reduction surgical procedures, Dr. Gonzalez is among the world's most experienced surgeons in obesity surgery. This above is all true, yet he isnt on the little drop-down selection of Drs. Is it because he doesnt spend tons of money supporting this forum? probably

"I can't wait for my husband to be able to pick me up. That is what I want my GOAL pic to be; my hubby holding me in his arms like a rescued princess" I totally understand. I told Ken, my fiance, that we couldn't actually set a date to get married until he was able to carry me over the threshold. He says he could do that now and I let him know that carrying me slung over his shoulder fireman style doesn't count. lol

Keep us updated, we know you'll do great!!

Hello! I'm going to be 38 this year and I have hot pink hair. you are only as old as you feel. The way I see it is that I only have one life and I intend to live it to the fullest and when my time comes I'm gonna go out kicking a screaming

My daughter is 100% behind me having the surgery and eating healthier. she actually said "I hope you get down to my size before school starts so I'll have more clothes to choose from". She is 15 and in a size 9. I told her that it may take a little longer than that and she said "well at least you dress cool so one day I'll have an expanded wardrobe". Only a 15 year old would say that. Lol Seems like it's the people my age that does it. My sister even does it and she was bigger than I am until she had her Lapband. You'd think she would be the one that is most supportive, but she isn't.

Wowza! U definitely have an angel on your shoulder. Hang in there hun, June 5th will be here before you know it and you can put that nightmare behind you.

Will do! I just started mine Shesstrangelynormal

Yes, don't forget the pillow! If you hold a small pillow tight against Ur tummy when Ur getting up, laughing, coughing, sneezing, walking....omg it feels so much better after an abdominal surgery
