I take lexapro daily for anxiety disorder. It is a godsend. Did anyone have to stop taking it for a period of time before or after surgery ?

I had a breast reduction tummy tuck and neck lift. I should be a pro by now!

don't let anyone shame you for making a choice to change your own life for the better. if she's that much bigger than you, she's probably that much more miserable about it, and this is her way of reinforcing her OWN decision to do nothing... she's projecting her negative thoughts about it on you. Love this! I just told her ummm I need to and smiled. Thankfully I am a confident tough chic!

The reason my husband is supportive is because he knows I struggle with it. People sometimes think this is like plastic surgery which I had my fair share of. It isn't. I haven't had my surgery yet but know things will change. They need to because I need to be physically unable to eat 3 giant banana pancakes with butter syrup and a side of bacon.

Tell her to gain 100 lbs then diet and exercise to get it off. When she does that you may change your mind.What would you do if you could not fail? Prep the best you can and know it will be great.Has anyone had plastic surgery? How does this surgery compare in pain to a tummy tuck?This lady at gvh where I am getting tests for surgery who is 3 times my size goes why so drastic of a surgery for this. I wanted to tell her off.Is anyone able to share their weight loss by month starting with post op diet for the first year?Wow!!!!Try wen on qvcDuring my Pms cycle this week I ate every last bad food I like. Tuesday I am starting a low carb diet on dietstogo.com and hitting the gym hard My surgery will likely be October. I was hoping to drop 40 lbs before my actual surgery between this diet and post op liquid which seems like everyone kinda drops 15-20lbs. My BMW would be 35 and with high blood pressure personal choice would still ok me. I am 5 8 and 264lbs Did anyone else have success dieting 2 mos before? I thought by the time I am bored it will be time for surgery
