Frza

I'm with the OP on the whole day spa thing. I hope to some day be able to opt for no swimsuit in swimsuit optional situations (hot springs, day spa, jacuzzis). That may be a tall order but it's very important to me. I want to be able to tuck my shirt into my pants! I work in a professional environment and currently feel so frumpy I want to enjoy sex again, and be able to run again, I want to ride my bike for miles and miles. I don't want strangers to avoid sitting next to me on the bus. I want to feel comfortable in my body and proud of my accomplishments. I am SO ready for this! 8/31 cannot come fast enough!

Haha! I wish I looked as good as my 'starting weight' model. She's not nearly as lumpy as I am!

I also thing this sounds gallbladdery. That was the most excruciating and indescribable pain I've experienced. My whole torso was in agony, I couldn't tell if it was my back or an organ in my abdomin. The the pain would be gone as fast as it came on.

Iceshayw, I am going self pay :\

Yay! Congrats! Keep us posted on your progress

He is doing this training during the 1st week of Sept I believe. I am scheduled with him right before he goes to the conference. Suzanne, how did you hear about this? Also, do you have a link to the magazine article? How did you come across that info? Thanks!

I'm going to Dr Aceves in Mexicali. I'd love to stay in touch with you to compare progress / commiserate. What are your stats? I'm 34 yrs old. 5'5" / 225 lbs BMI 37 I'm excited but so nervous!

Hi! I'm 34 and waiting to be sleeved on 8/31. Insurance won't cover it, apparently I'm not fat enough. They want me on my deathbed before they'll pay. So, instead I'll be heading to Mexico at the end of next month. I'm planning to start the diet next week. It's not required for me but seems wise. I've already started to wean myself of caffeine, so hard! I loooove coffee, guess I'll have to go decaf. sigh.

Tameka, how did surgery go? Hope you're well!

I like this forum! I'm 34, class of 96. I'm scheduled with Dr Aceves on 8/31! Any of you folks in the pacific northwest? I live in Portland.

I would also like to hear some real-life experience with this. Has anyone gone through this?

I swear I don't Google naked lady games! The one on my screen now is called 'Dafk Summoner' it looks kinda gross! I wonder if j get these because my phone knows I like phone games (yahtzee, scramble, etc)?

I only see adds for weird phone games. Often times with half naked cartoon ladies. So weird!

I'm on schedule with Dr Aceves for 8/31!!!

Sorry to hear you're disappointed, don't give up hope. Its possible you could still meet your goals. Would you mind sharing your beginning stats? Starting weight, BMI, etc Thanks!

I am nervous but it just feels right. I know it's the best choice for me and that the time is now. I'll let you know how it goes!

I'm going to Aceves on 8/31!

I'm booked for 8/31 with Aceves! Let's stay in touch

Leah, When is your surgery? I am scheduled w/ Aceves at the end of August. I live in Portland.

Hello, I will be seeing Dr Aceves at the end of August. I'd love to hear updates from you!

I was planning to discuss my plans with a friend at lunch yesterday but I chickened out. She takes a very holistic approach to everything and I am worried that she will judge me / attempt to dissuade me. After lunch I regretted not telling her. I plan to see her again this weekend and will bring it up then.
