Wow im sorry you have to go through that. Have you ever considered any of the surgerons in mexico? They have pretty good self-pay prices, and payment plans, no hassle, and thousands of people say their experience was great.

ALRIGHT!!! You have done FABULOUS!! So proud of you! We should be having surgery around the same time! I was aiming for Jan 18 or 22nd! (Not submitting for approval till Dec 18)

Hi ladies! Im a shortie!!! Im 4'11 (lol), 268lbs, not yet sleeved but hoping to be by Jan 20th and im on instagram if you want to follow each other: xo_simplytorri_xo

thats awesome congrats!

This is what I do when I am scared about anything. I think about the stuff ill be doing afterward, and that really helps!!

I had one yesterday!! I was really nervous too but like you said, the worst part was the IV. That burned ALOT and it still hurts!! Does your throat feel weird? My throat is starting to feel weird; no pain but feels a little raw.

Sorry about your friend

oh my gosh you made ME cry!! I am so happy for you, what an exciting and amazing feeling!!! Congrats!!

I too was thinking of this story!

I have been here too. My reply to my friend was something similar to this: It is not up to you to determine how and when God will present me with an option that will be long lasting and beneficial to my health. God promised "life and life more abundantly" and "health and prosperity". It is up to you as an individual to pursue those things and I have made bad decisions. I have tried to exercise and get my temple right, but this is a weak area. I KNOW that God opened the door for me to have this operation, and the result will be that his temple will finally be healthy -- the way he planned and his child (me) will be happy. God gives you tools to use to enhance your life. If you lose your job and need money... it does not fall from a tree, he will lead somebody to give you the money or lead somebody to offer you a part time position, or whatever. Theres no difference here -- I am over weight, I am headed down the road for diseases and God has given me this last opportunity to make a permanent change. Why do you think he gave the doctors the capacity to learn, understand and be innovative enough to come up with this procedure? If this is not a subject you can handle talking about or supporting me on, then we will avoid it all together.

Hey I go to pole dancing classes once in a while! Its a FANTASTIC workout! I am 260lbs and I grab the pole and get my feet off the ground so I think they are more sturdy than they say! You should be fine and 189! Its really fun and you feel super sexy!!

4 months! I want YOUR sleeve!!! Awesome lady you look fantastic!

I have tried them "Miracle Noodle" brand. It didnt smell or taste weird. It was a bit chewier than regular noodles, but they basically suck up the flavor of what you cook them in. I had the best result when I let them cook in the crock pot for a while. I did chicken soup and it was pretty good! Very filling, feels like your cheating lol. (I am still pre-op)

E-Girl you are so right! It takes me 45 minutes to get down there, so I am not sure I'll make it to the support groups either! I would like to try to go to one or two though. Congrats on 94lbs!!!

Awesome!! So glad you are up, moving and doing well! Yay for a successful operation! Very motivating!
