I woke up this morning and took a look at my under arms which I could swing and hit a home run with and was reminded immedietely why I looked into this weight loss option last year in the first place. I cant wait to be able to wear a tshirt and look and feel ok in it, I always wear a long sleeve under neath and even though its hot and miserable I have never dared to leave the house without one : Heres to new tshirts and summer time without a long sleeve shirt

Hope you are feeling well, keep us posted when you are up to it....prayers to you

I feel the same way , I am 42 and my body feels double that . I want my mind and body to become equal and that is why I decided to do this surgery as well. Good luck on your journey and keep us posted

The hot pain in your leg should be evaluated... are you diabetic? Ask your doctor for a segmental pressure exam, it will check your arterial pressure and pulses and see if you have a block some where . Feeling of hot pain is sometimes a symptom.

Well Im right behind you with the cowarding out 1000 times. Im scheduled for next friday so I know EXACTLY how you feel, just take a breath and take it one step at a time you will be ok. I am avid dog lover myself but with enough food and Water he/she will be ok . They will lock up your bag so all will be fine there.......good luck and post as soon as you feel up to it so we know you are doing ok...............and lmao on the bacon flavored Protein drinks, if you find some please ship some to me

Well just thought I would post what my thoughts are, they are quite short and sweet. I was thinking in December when I started this journey that this is going to take forever and why cant it be next week.............Well I will tell you my surgery is less then 2 weeks away and I cant believe how fast it got here. Soak everything in and try not to rush it , because by the time your surgery date is scheduled, you havent really processed all those emotions that come with it and they end up smacking you in the face all at once. Then you think your crazy, what am I doing. But when you read others blogs on here you realize its normal its just not fun normal ...........Have a great week

Good Morning, Yes everyone is intubated when they are having this surgery because they want to make sure your always able to breathe.Second Im not sure who told you blood clots are something you shouldnt worry about but you definetely should. I work in the vascular lab and know this too well. Unfortunately if you are smoking you are at risk now for blood clots and with surgery it will double. They do put compressions on us during surgery to keep the blood circulating and thats why they make us walk immedietely and especially the days proceded. But when you smoke you are robbing your arteries of oxygen and also causes them to scar which can pool blot and there is where the blood clots can form. Most surgeons wont operate on patients unless they have quit smoking so not sure why they havent made you quit unless they just want the money and arent concerned for patients health....Dont mean to scare you just think you should know the truth....Good luck on your journey.

If you put it in the search bar of the forum , you will find loads of information that people have already posted regarding Mexico surgeries, good luck on your journey

You look great

You look fabulous............all I can say is WoW and congradulations

For most of us it is a long process,I started last oct with signing up for classes that started in December ....be patient because once they set a surgery date its a whole different set of emotions so take your time and really let this sink in.....it will be here sooner then you know
