  1. I really would love to be a french maid for halloween. I think my guy would love it...That would be a kicker lol.
  2. I'm having my surgery (thru Mexico Surgery Solutions) on July 19th by Dr. Gonzalez, a member of the Baja Med Group!
  3. welcome u will find lots of great information here. Sounds like ur doing awesome and I'm sure many others will want some insight into the "post-op" world as well
  4. hey guys! Posted my 2nd vlog if u wanna check it out it is at www.youtube.com/shesstrangelynormal
  5. Thank u SM, I'm gonna try n keep em coming at least once a week
  6. I can't wait to be carried over the threshold when we marry
  7. honestly, I havent had my surgery yet but my close friend said she has to drink protein drinks constantly thru the day, otherwise she's pooped. She started using the body by vi shake mix bc it is the only one that gives her energy and she says tastes good, when shes at my house shes always got her shaker cup and her shake mix and a different flavor packet of sugarfree pudding mix. i asked her what the pudding mix was for and she told me that she puts a little in with her vi shake and gets a different flavor every day...so I thought I'd pass that along
  8. in the meantime get some gas x strips and use them. Hope ur pain lessens up on u soon
  9. Most Dr's put these tight compression things on your legs. there is a pic on the site www.Facebook.com/bajamedgroup
  10. Hmmm... I guess it is different for every one. I'll be wearing a gown then I'll lie down n be washed and draped with a 10x10 opening for the procedure by a nurse. Once I'm ready it's go time
  11. ooooh... it would go with my hair! Although it almost looked burgundy in my youtube video
  12. Hey Lissa, sent u a PM. and what is funny is that one of my closest friends has a nephew that calls her "Aunt Crazy", so "Strange" is cool.....but I'm thinkin u already knew that
  13. this just shows u have an excellent Dr. Unfortunately there are some that would have done the surgery anyway. Ur in good hands
  14. if southwest flies in ur area, this is what it is for me going straight thru them: Adult $324.20 each
  15. from here AA has round trip tix for 185-200 per person. don't go thru expedia or something like that
  16. I'm loving this so much and laughing like mad. I couldnt imagine being stuck on a zip line or anything like that, and it is funny in retrospect but I'd have been freakin the heck out. My # one thing I can't wait to do is ........ walk without my sexy companion dressed in red.... my red walker. I dont have to use it every day, but I do need it more often than I'd like. Once I lose weight and take some of the pressure of the nerves in my spine I believe the spinal stenosis will no longer rule my life
  17. Tibbie, You guys are cracking me up. I don't fish, but now I may start...
  18. Good luck Kathy and Slim! You will both do awesome. Keep everyone updated
  19. When I started this thread it seemed that there were so many things others take for granted that I longed for and it made me feel like I was on the outside looking in, but now I see I'm not alone and I'm so happy to see Ur posts. I think I can relate to everyone so much more now
  20. I get it before a flight, before any surgery......well any time I'm anxious...so pretty often
  21. I'm glad I started this thread BC it set our goals right in sight...
  22. I hear he is a very good surgeon
  23. Lucky girl! I wish I could do mine this early but everyone's schedules are too hectic. I stalked this place and did some major research and digging and now that I've found the surgeon and am ready I can't do it for a month lol Who's Ur surgeon, I'm going with Dr Gonzalez who it's a member of the Baja med group
  24. Oh yeah, if you want to watch it,I posted my 1st vlog on YouTube. It's "shesstrangelynormal"
