as some of y'all know I live in New Orleans and right now it's Mardi Gras season for the first time in a long time I really had fun in my tube top with no bra and tight tummy even dancing to the different bands. I finally feel good about my body and even feel a bit sexy :wub: . now I know the scar isn't perfect on the tummy and Im going to have a scar revision after im a year post-op if it doesn't improve.

my mommy makeover was 6500

I'm going to TJ Mexico for the mommy makeover Sept 10th

I'm getting the mommy makeover Sept 10th. I am self pay and will be going to Mexico. if I remember I will update on the actual surgery.

I have no regrets, but I sometimes wish I had my full tummy for just 1 day when something taste so good and I want more. your so early out, ask yourself this same question at 9 months. i bet it will be the same as my answer.

I ate watermelon 2 weeks out and had no problems, oh I remember thinking it was the best I ever had

ok ya'll thanks for the laugh, I'm sure I burned a few calories laughing

yeah same here I think all the nerves brought it down, good thing was I got to keep my underwear on, they were just pulled down past my tummy, bad thing is, just being on your period, it sucks the last thing you want to do is change a tampon or pad just after having surgery

all I have is skin which fills a c cup(was a dd)

I did chex rice cereal after 2 weeks they were really easy and broke down in my mouth to nothing. at that time I wasnt worried about carbs,calories,fat. I was weak and frankly needed it. I don't eat it anymore since it is a "slider" food and I can eat alot, I would NOT eat any nuts until 1 month post op.

I paid 4,250 in TJ

So here goes my rant! I've been wanting to post this for a while but thought I might be attacked by others, well screw it! I have noticed in quite a bit post here and on other forums, how some people eat and exercise and get to goal in 6 or so months and just seem so perfect. No sweet, no carbs, only salad, protein and water. Well my question to you is WHY did you have surgery????? you seem not to have any issues losing weight, seems to me you could have surely done this on your own. I'm starting to feel like weight lose surgery is becoming the next diet fad. I am not perfect, nowhere it. I could never follow a diet for more than a month. It may sound like I'm envious, well your right. I'm 9 months out and still have food and head issues.

west jefferson hostipal has a support group for anyone who has had weight loss surgery including the sleeve and its free. after i have my surgery i will be calling.

im in belle chasse and have my surgery date on sept 8 also in tj with dr. Almanza.

ok so ive had my band around 3yrs and have lost 30lbs and then got prego so now my weight lost is back to 0lbs. i dont i ever got a "good" fill. i would get a fill and then go back for a check up and it was gone or just alittle was left, so i was blaming the fill doctors, and went to alot of them(fill centers usa). i finally talk to my doctor in Mexico and he gave me the name of a really good fill doctor at Wellspring Procedures in texas, it was 7hr ride from new orleans but well worth it she told me i was sweating the Fluid out of my band so she put OMNIPAQUE in and told me if i sweat this out she would be in shock.OMNIPAQUE is also used as a fix a flat to seal any leaks and can be seen under floro. i have a 4cc band with 2.9cc of omnipaque. does anyone have omnipaque? can you drink ice cold drinks?(i cant)
