Thanks! I was researching ways to prevent loose skin after weight loss and the derma rollers are supposed to help with that too since it enhances skin elasticity. Might kill 2 birds with one stone.

I've heard great things about derma rollers. You can get them on Amazon for $15-$20. There are different sizes for different areas of the body so you might want to look into that more. There are also some good youtube videos on it. I plan to try it.

Hi all, I have been in contact with Dr. Gonzalez' office and am impressed so far. I would love to find some of his past patients and hear some feedback about him and your overall experience. Thanks!

I don't have an exact date but October is the month. The issue is I can't decide between Dr. Ariel Ortiz at OCC and Dr. Aceves. I think I'll discuss it with my PCP this week and see what he thinks. Hopefully he's not pissed that I'm going to Mexico. I live in Southern California so it's pretty convenient.

Thanks Fierce. I totally feel ya on wishing it was tomorrow. I'm tired of thinking lol

I'm choosing not to tell people besides my Husband and one or two of my closest friends. I'm pre-op and just don't want any judgement or uneducated comments from anyone about my decision. When you talk about WLS to people it seems like everyone has a horror story or know somebody that knew somebody who died (which is BS considering the statistics). I'm protecting myself from negativity I guess. After I have surgery I am pretty sure I'll be open about it. Anyone who doesn't agree at that point can let the door hit them in the ass!

I am planning on October but I'm starting to freak out a bit. Been researching nonstop and thinking and thinking and waaaay over-thinking and I'm driving myself crazy! Has anyone else gone through this? I've got a bad case of the "what if's?"
