When I was researching, I found a doctor in dallas for 10,000. His name us Victor Gonzalez. I'm nit sure if that's still his price. I've also heard you can get it done in Vegas for 11,000 but again I researched these a year ago

At this point in my life, no! I'm so tired of being fat it can all go!

Thanks! Hopefully Monday I'll know what's going on.

Yesterday I had to get an ultrasound and xray done of my abdomen. They gave me a hospital gown and told me change and wait in the waiting room. I looked at that gown and thought no way would it fit me! Well it did! And it covered me completely! There was a full length mirror in the bathroom and I looked so much smaller! I need to buy one for my home haha!

Also, its hard to have good form if you don't have shoes that accommodate your arch. From personal experience, the shoes stopped my shin splints and knee pain. If they don't make a difference for someone else, I'd consider them very lucky.

I agree sabra with pibe nuts! I eat it with zucchini slices, pita chips, on sandwiches instead of mayo. It's really good!

Not dumb! Water won't stretch your sleeve. It goes right through.

It depends on the cause. If it's genetic, chances are it's not coming back. If it's hormone related, it might come back. If it's from medication, you may not need them when you lose the weight and again, it may grow back. If you are not planning on having anymore kids, men's rogain has been known to help. I would ask a dermatologist first though.

Good shoes is essential to prevent injury! But I don't think you're too overweight for the program. Haven't you seen the biggest loser?!? Lol just don't over do it.

Lol have you jad anymore attacks?

I was hoping I wouldn't have to have surgery but after doing research, it's not lookin good

Same thing going on with me too! Currently on Vicodin. I have an ultrasound Friday. It's happened twice in a week!

Ate like* not ate a pig lol!!!

I think people are coming from a good place, but nobody knows you well enough or is certified to tell you what you are or are not ready for. I ate a complete monsterous pig pre op with several food funerals but am doing great post op. People probably would have said I wasn't ready either but here I am 6 months out 73 pounds down with not one single regret! It sounds like you've spent a lot of time preparing for this. I've got faith in you!

Hey Kelly! How have been doing since you posted this?

Y'all are right! I'm going to work on my crazy brain and keep tracking! Thanks!

Love it! You look beautiful!

I don't know the answer but do remember reading someone's post about their nutritionist saying don't eat back the calories. If I'm super hungry, I may eat an extra snack but not the full calories burned.

I get what you're saying. I went with Almanza who has a bad rep and I do feel like he is very passionate about money. I feel I am very lucky to have had no complications but don't know if I'd recommend him. But he gave me a new shot at life. He made my dream a reality by being able to afford this surgery and for that I'm grateful! I put my trust in him and God and felt totally at peace with my decision! Here's to our rebirth!

You inspired me to do the same. I put on my 22s and walked in the living room like nothing was going on. My husband was like what the hell are you wearing?!? He never saw me that big! It was definitely a reality check for him haha! I'm a 16 now.

I would follow ut now with no mistake. You don't eant to get there, have them open you up, then close you back up and not be able to do the procedure! The purpose of the diet is to shrink the liver so they can get to your stomach.

Lol, I was talking about you Laura!
