Spatters, I always try n be at my peak of coolness. Lol

Thanks Rootman, I'm also doing self-pay and there is no aspect of this decision that was easy. Easy was gaining the weight and easy would be letting the repercussions of the weight gain continue to deprive me of living. I've tried so many ways to lose weight, different diets, different exercises, and it just didn't work for me. And it isn't working for Americans in general. I refuse to listen to another person who hasn't battled what I'm battling.

I swear I laughed my butt off reading that BC I thought I was the only one who ever referred to myself as a popped biscuit can! that is how I look in anything!

Ur right it will get better. Hang in there and give it your all. I'll be walking in your shoes pretty soon

Thank u guys

Lol. Now I'm singing "cumbersome" and I blame u

Carol, Ur very welcome and on a side note, Ur screen name reminds me of one of my favorite songs BC of the band 7MARY3

I was trying my hardest to be nice.lol mlk said it best. U cannot drive out darkness with darkness, only light will do that...or something like that

Use whatever u want. I got a lot of it from friends on here lol

Me too lol

amen

I just posted my response to the lady who told me I was taking the easy way out. that diet and exercise was what I needed. www.youtube.com/shesstrangelynormal

It is a small world. What is funny is when I went to visit his parents for the first time (I'm an Okie) i think they either thought I was pregnant or mentally challenged. They thought I was pregnant bc every single time I got in the car I got deathly carsick...our Okie roads are flat, theirs were up and down and curvy....ugh. and they thought I was mentally challenged bc my mouth had to have been hanging open the entire time bc of the beauty! I'd never seen mountains, etc before.lol

Thanks guys. I'm gonna use a lot of what y'all said as additional ammo if that's cool

My fiancée is originally from a town called Poulsbo in WA and he is familiar with these stories. Amazing, just amazing. I'm so glad I'm not around Hamoodi all the time or I'd be in jail. I'd knock someone flat out if they dared say one disrespectful word aimed at him

I think I was told ur not totally "HEALED" until about 18 months, but if u have a leak it should show by month 4

Omg I'm looking forward to my pre-op diet! That means I will have my surgery in 10 days.... C'mon July 19th lol

Y'all are literally cracking me up. They can't make u stay in Mexico. What many people don't know is that by the time Ur there to show them Ur BC and DL Ur already on USA soil.they cannot do anything. Period. They can't tell a US citizen to leave the country. Ur already IN the US. My aunt and uncle go to mx for their medications every other month and don't have a passport

Thanks littlebits! I'll definitely get some. My friend just got some and I bet she didn't even realize stevia is the sweetener. I love it BC no chemicals, no headaches or stomach problems when I use stevia

and our Target has sugar free ICEEs... mmmh hmmm...

me too...Mine is scheduled for July 19 and time is CREEPING along ever so slowly

if it weren't for Omeprazole I'd have went off the deep end sanity-wise, and I'm still pre-op! Hopefully I'll be nipping this in the bud at the onset

they have the little shaved ice stands here and have a huge variety of flavors that are sugar-free. that could be an alternative if u like em

I just finished watching your surgery, Beauty my vlog on YouTube is "shesstrangelynormal"
