Thank you everyone. A lot of your answers made me realize how blessed I am to have support everywhere I turn. I will definitely do what is right for me. I wish everyone health and success on this wonderful journey of a new life and beginning. Good luck and stay fabulous ; )

Thank you everyone for sharing. I truly appreciate it.

I was wondering why a lot of people want to keep there surgery a secret? I'm just starting my journey and am still in the testing phase. I thought about telling everyone and their grandmother about my surgery but, I see people wanting to keep it secret. I was hoping some of you could share with me why because I want to make an informed decision and maybe I haven't considered the down side of it.Looking to be enlightened. Thanks

I can understand your concern but even as fat individuals we come into contact with fake people. They smile in your face and stab you in the back. For me personally I just do whats best for me. People always say I'm a diva and I'm okay with that. If people want to take a fat girl being confident in herself as diva I can live with that because who I am and what I choose to feel about myself is upto me. I want to have this surgery for my health. I'm blessed that my circle of friends and family love me and support no matter what my body shape. So dont worry about other people because you will see when all is said and done the real ones will be there no matter what. Good luck and stay fabulous and always be true to you ; )

Hello fabulous sleevers, I was wondering if any has used Dr. Fernando Bonanni. He's from Abington memorial hospital, Pennsylvania. I've look through the forum but haven't seen anything on him. I have googled him and it says he's amazing but I just want to hear from someone who has had direct interaction with him. Thanks and stay fabulous ; )

Hell I just want to be able to see my feet while standing! I gotta pick my gut up off the floor and tuck it in my pants like a shirt so I don't trip on it when I walk! Lol so can't wait to have this surgery! Congrats to you and stay fabulous
