Please explain what Bougie is please?

I can't wait to get to that point, I'm sick of eating fried everything, and sweet everything. I'm a foody for sure. Just LOVE food.< /p>

Don't worry I will stay around. I'm doing my best to get my surgery as soon as possible. BTW has anyone ever heard of or used Global Medical Services, with Dr. Leino? I'm researching it now. It's a LOT cheaper than anything I've found in the States. It's in the Dominican Republic (the caribbean) THey offer a 7 day stay at a resort, with a 2 day hospital stay for your surgery. Everything together including airfare and taking my husband came out to about 10,500.00 Unbeleavible !!! Tell me something GIRLS? Is it too good to be true?

Oh my GOD, you loose hair? ????? THank GOD I have plenty of it. Surely if you get enough protien you don't go bald right? :thumbup:

THat is good to know, that the stomach area is not too bad.....thank you....as far as our arma, I guess it's just the price we pay for being fat all those years....at least for me it is. How long did it take you to loose your weight? How many months?

For me it's now or never. I want to do this before I turn 50. I am going to try to exercise while loosing in order for my skin not to sag so badly. But I have a feeling it will anyway. I would also be happy at 140 or 150 for that matter. I'm in 20's some 22's. I hate my fat upper arms, and inner thighs, and my stomach....sigh....when I had the two c-sections a year apart, it created that bikini line scare which made the extra fat fold over it. So I'm sure I'll have extra skin in that area for sure. But like you, it will be being the way I am now. My husband has assured me that we would take the next step and have that taken care of if I want. So I'm so ready to get started. I won't have my first consultation until Oct. 22nd....waiting is really hard. THank you so much for writing. Hugs....

Hello to the sisterhood of sleeves, I'm sure there's a few bothers too! I've been asking questions, and getting great responces from
very helpful people. I'm 48 @ 235 lbs. with a BMI of 39. The last time I was a normal weight was in 1981 the year I got married the 1st time. After 2 babies in two years, my weight started growing and
has never stoped. I'm relatively healthy, with the acception of the normal problems that come along with carrying and extra 100 lbs around everyday. I have back problems, and I see a chiropractor regularly. I have hypertenion occationally. And I have high triglycerides. At my best I weighed 135 lbs. I would love to be there again. I think it is possible now, because I see it here among the photos and stories. I've been wanting this for a very long time, and I finally have the oppertunity to get it done, thanks to my wonderful Grandfather. He didn't know it at the time, but he left me the means to change my life, in the best way possible. Thank you Paw Paw.
I have a wonderfully handsome husband who accepted me just as I am, 7 years ago @ 225 lbs. I also want this for US, to make our life together even better that it already is. I can see nothing but good things for my future.
I dream of the day, when my legs no longer rub together and create blisters. When I can actually cross them, instead of crossing my ankles. When I can paint my toe nails without having to be a contortionist. When I can bend down and tie my shoes without having to hold my breath. When I won't have to be embarrised to buy cloths in the PLUS SIZE dept. When I can look in the mirror and like what I see. When the size of my body doesn't limit my sex life.:thumbup:
When I want to be in photographs, instead of running from the camera. When I feel pretty again. I long for these things so badly.:blushing:
With the support of the ladies here, I feel anything is possible.
I look forward to my journey
Judy
