  1. Good Morning World. My surgery date is set for May 17, 2013 (saving more money to self pay), 7,000.) Has Anyone here been to PVR for surgery with Dr. Castaneda?
  2. 1 year ago.... as of May 17 and that big girl with the pretty face is gone. I'm so grateful and proud of how far I've come. I still can't believe it's me in the pictures or when I pass a store window. I've lost 102 lbs and now working on the last 10. Festival season in New Orleans is hard on my good eating habits...but I'm getting back on track. Have a awesome weekend everybody and good luck!!!! Hang in there.

    Big thighs-sagging skin

    Help! I knew I would have problems with my legs because they were so big before surgery....but now I'm getting wrinkly on my inner thighs.....I just up'd my swimming and squat, and still moisturizing with cocoa butter. What have y'all tried?
  11. Started at 256 wearing a 20-22. 9 months ago. I'm so fricking excited today. I just brought a dress for my Mardi Gras ball and it's a size 10. A sexy, Jessica Rabbit size 10 dress. (People my age will understand the Jessica Rabbit thing)

    Roca Labs

    Yep. I wished I had saved my 200+ dollars. You have to mix this powder with Water and drink it before your meals. The longer it sits, the thicker it gets ( like Metamucil ). Awful, I didn't make it past day two.

    Is this much pain normal?

    Same here. Get a compression band, tank, or shorts. And take your pain Meds. Getting up or God forbid I tried to roll over in bed....I thought I was gonna die. But it gets better....promise! A heating pad helped too. Hang in there!!!
  25. I had a hematoma also. Ended up in the ER. It caused inflammation and pain on my right side. The inflammation plus all the IV fluids......I was puffy and gained weight. When you are healed.....you will hardly remember feeling the way you do now. I was given Tylenol, toradol, and loratab. 1 week later.....the swelling and extra pounds were gone. Hang in there!!!!
