I plan on giving a full account in detail for you guys I know how much it helped me when I was just starting out

Emily, thank ou for the kind words. Even though I am confident that I have chosen the right doc, it is still good to hear that others have had a good experience before me... and congrats on the amazing loss you have had. Kasey, I hope we can meet up I know we will both be tired but look for me as your checking in if u have time I will be at the hotel till thurs afternoon

Good thinking! I am totally going to get a pedi the day before i leave!!! What a great idea to relax and get pampered! If I can't have nail polish on then I will for sure have my toes looking good

Hi guys! Im being sleeved on the 11th also. OCC in Mexico. Anyone else going to be there? Id love to have a surg buddy when I get there!

Mark, congrats on the life changing choice... I am counting down the days till my surgery and am so happy for you that everything is goind so smooth... good luck and keep it up!

Yay for you!!! I'm so happy or you! I know myself how wonderful it feels to just be on my way to getting to my goal. Congratulations we are all here for you cheering you on...

I have a nose piercing and my doc said I had to take it out or I was not getting surgery... I am going to try to get a plastic one the week before. Its only been a couple months and I really don't want it to close up. Plus, I want to go in and have my piercer do it for me, I am such a pansy when it comes to pain. lol...

Hi everyone. My name is Amber. I was planing on having my vsg done here in the states, but right before scheduling I got laid off work. Now I have to figure out how to do this with the $ I have saved... but I need some help. I don't know where to start. Please, all the info u can send my way I can use. How much was it to have vsg in mexico? How long did u have to stay there? Who is a good trusted doc? What do I have to do? This and so many other questions are in my head rite now I am going crazy..lol. thanks to everyone in advance... best wishes Amber

Your looking amazing! Wow.. you go girl..

I just started a low carb pre op diet today. I need to be down 14 lb before surgery on March 10th. Its crazy how much carbs are in things I didn't think about. I really got to start charting the food I eat, before I eat it, NOT after. lol... I had a salad with an apple and green peas on it and omb.. there go the carbs! lol then I put a banana in a shake, and what do you know! more carbs! crap! I need to get a hold on this... lol... Major shopping is needed for me to get this down.

I could not stop laughing. Why is it that the valid serious questions can be the funniest? I would have never even thought about it but now that you say it, despite it being funny, it is a fact. What do they do to keep our boobs out of the way? Because i am sorry but us big girls got some "big girls" lol... Maybe I will ask my doc when I go in for surgery next month..lol

I am rite there with you I know how you feel. Even though I have been kissed, I have had very few relationships and my last one was almost 7 years ago. The thing that really sucks is even though I am way over weight my lobito leaves nothing to be desired and when I have the self confidence of a bug it dose nothing to help solve that problem or catch a guy, if you know what I mean...lol As girls we dream up these ideas of what our life is going to be like when we grow up. In my dream, I was married around 25 with a couple kids by the time I was 30. Well, now I have turned 30 and don't even have a date for the ball... I am really looking forward to getting my surgery and changing my life and how I feel about myself. Oh and even though I have been kissed, The rest of my list is the same. Never been out on a date (go figure huh? a boyfriend but no real date! yes he was a looser, I know that now...lol) No waxing (but I am not supper bummed on that one yet) No bikini... (but I will ) Good luck with everything, Keep that hope alive, We will loose this weight We are beautiful WE ARE WORTH IT!!!!
