zenoosh reacted to apricot1119 in Child free... Way off topic
I am 33. Very happily married. Now a normal weight. I self payed in the states. My husband and I have been married for almost 5 years. Everyone keeps making comments about pregnancy easier now that I am smaller or aren't you worried about pregnancy weight. Thing is, I don't think I want kids. Ever. I would like some feed back on the pros and cons of that choice. Anyone who has an opinion, young, old, male female, parent or not. Thanks!

::hugs::
I'd consult your surgeon & gyno so you can make informed decisions.
Pro-life or pro-choice I'd take a min to have a quiet moment & think through your decision maybe do a pro & con sheet for each.

zenoosh got a reaction from AngelEyesInNJ in Dr. Fernando Garcia
I was sleeved by Dr Garcia on Oct 27. I went thru Alma at Ready4Achange and had a great experience. There are several forums on here where people like me have given a detailed account of their experiences with Dr Garcia and his team at Mi Doctor Hospital. There are also reviews and accounts with the 2 coordinator services as well. I was VERY impressed with ready4achange and the attention I received from the company. I traveled to TJ alone and had a great experience. I never once felt weird about any aspect of my whole trip.
If anyone has questions, feel free to PM me.
Good Luck!

zenoosh got a reaction from Diamondeyed in Mexico Octosleevers! Add Your Name, Date And Surgeon!
Hey there OCTOSLEEVERS! I had surgery Oct 27, and Im down about 35 lbs since day of surgery. I had a little stall at 5 weeks, but I've lost something every week. I TRY to weigh once a week only, but sometimes that doesn't quite happen.
Im very interested to see how everyone is doing...also, I find myfitnesspal.com to be incredibly helpful to track my cals/protein/vitamins etc...
Hope everyone is doing well!

zenoosh got a reaction from The.new.g in Defining A Higher Power
I think a higher power can mean any number of things. For some its god, or some other deity, whatever the name might be.
For others, its an idea of how we want to live or be or act towards others.
For some its a thing or a situation, like a beautiful blooming flower or smelling their children's (or animal companions) hair.
To choose your own higher power is what makes us all important, different, unique. To not choose a higher power does not make us any less important, special, or unique.
To tell someone what or who they must believe in or think or feel about a higher power, well I think that's a crime.
I have no problem with people believing in a higher power and sharing their beliefs with others. I do have a problem with people saying I have a problem if I choose to believe in nothing.

You guys will be stoked. The onsite coordinators are fantastic. I would NOT have gone without having a coordinator--they make the whole process easier. Good luck!

zenoosh reacted to binipkey in Dr. Fernando Garcia
I am another Dr. Garcia patient who used Ready 4 a Change. Had surgery on 11-08-12 and everyone had been amazing. I came alone and have been soooo grateful to Melissa (ready 4 a change hospital coordinator) who was a huge support, Rosie for her assistance settling into the hotel & Samuel the driver. All have gone up and beyond the call of duty.

zenoosh got a reaction from charissa70737 in Surgery Today
Woo hoo!!! Hazelsmrf is drinking nasty blue crap! Must mean she's SLEEVED!!!! Im so happy you're done...walk walk walk. I didn't feel like getting up, but once I did, I felt better and better. Yay to farting! That means things are moving along....LOVE IT...Have fun at the hotel, girlfriend...i gut myself a movie cuz I went alone and didn't feel like sightseeing. I walked the hotel, I went outside and gut fresh air, I emailed my mom about a million times and watched CNN constantly because it was all storm coverage. (my first night back to the Marriott was the night Sandy hit...you remember, I was talking to you too!!)Im so glad you got everything worked out--now you get to drink, sip, drink, sip and then shortly you'll be entering the world of mushy Soups and baby food consistency dinners. YAY ;-)Keep me posted...im watchin' you, hazelsmrf
