BBJ is botox just for the 11s and forehead wrinkles? Becuz i am blessed I did not have any and I don't have crows feet..... yet. Just the laugh lines and dreaded turkey neck. Will laser work on these areas and does the dermatologist do it?

OK here's the skinny (pun intended). For a 52 yr old overweight woman my face as always been fairly decent looking. No wrinkles, no sagging skin no nothing. Which of course some peeps assumed I was younger than I was. Which I loved. Who wouldn't??? Now...... can I please stop losing weight on my face becuz to me I look old and haggard. My face is NOW SAGGING. I have laugh lines. I am not amused!!!! Are there any exercises I can do or will Botox help? What about Juvederm??? A face lift is out of the question becuz I am saving my money for the boobs. This is one 52 yr old woman who gonna have some nice boobs. LOL. Deb P.S. I have a turkey neck now too. Excuse my language, but WTF???? I need help becuz sometimes I think I sabotage myself becz of this. Which is stupid I know.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. Good luck!! Deb

It is kinda weird that there are so many variables. But like stated earlier it's the surgeon's choice. It's what's working for them. In my case my surgeon had me on a two week liquid pre-op diet. I was in the hospital for one day and had a drain, but it was taken out before I left the hospital. I had two leak tests. One right after the surgery and one the next day. I am glad I was in the hospital for at least one day becuz the nurses monitor your vitals every 2 to 4 hours and I felt if anything went wrong right after surgery what better place to be than at the hospital. As it was the nurses checking my vitals and drawing blood discover my potassuim levels were to high. They quickly got that under control. Good luck...... YOU WILL LOVE YOUR SLEEVE. Best thing I could have done for and to myself. Deb

Best wishes. God bless. Deb

CONGRATZ. I hope you get your date soon for your surgery becuz the waiting can be hard. Deb.

How exciting!! Sending happy thoughts your way. Good luck and God bless. Deb

CONGRATZ AUGUST SLEEVE SISTA Deb

I notice alot of sleeve peeps use a PPI for their reflux, but I have never had reflux and have never used any PPIs. Not ALL sleevers get reflux. Deb

I found out the more Protein I eat the more weight I lose. I try to eat between 70 to 100 grams of protein a day. If you follow your doctor's nutritional guidelines you will not go wrong. Hang in there. You are doing great!!!! Good luck Deb

Yeah you don't have to sip forever. I am 6 1/2 months and I can drink a 20 oz. bottle of Water in under 5 minutes. I am sooooo happy becuz sipping seriously got on my last nerve. LOL. Good luck and you will LOVE YOUR SLEEVE!!! Deb

I have to count calories, carbs, and fats at my losing stage to stay focus. That's me. It's working for me. Once I get to maintence that's a different story. I totally agree with Tiffykins. Good luck Deb

Baby girl, don't be so hard on yourself. Just like Nannydeb2 said we are ALL here for the same reason. I like it when peeps have profile pics. You seem more real to me. If you don't put up a pic I think most us will understand. It took me a few days to put mine up. Good luck with your surgery approval!!!! Deb
