  1. Haha, no way! ANY where I go, I have my purse clutched around belly when I sit down! People probably think I'm afraid of getting mugged!
  2. I love this idea! (In no order... I want them all equally!) 1. To not have back rolls under my bra! 2. To not have to be asked "Awwww, how far along are you?" when I don't have any children... 3. To not have a panic attack when someone brings out a camera! 4. To not feel the need to place a pillow in my lap on the couch to "hide" the gut! 5. To not feel the desire to pull my shirt neck up over my chin to hide my "goozle" (or fat chin and neck) haha! 6. I want to be small enough to fit in t-shirts made for women instead of men, so I don't have a tight fit around the waist with the shoulders and sleeves 3/4 down my arms! 7. To not be afraid of my husband's friends seeing me, for fear that they will feel sorry for him! 8. I want to take ballroom dance classes with my husband! 9. I want to be able to buy clothes that I LIKE, rather than what fits and is affordable! 10. I want to be able to wear shorts in public without worrying about my "globby" knees and wide calves! 11. I want my husband to be able to see me in a swimsuit again! 12. To not have to worry about anymore PCOS problems!
  3. Hi guys! I'm not from Louisiana, but I am a neighbor! (Mississippi) I was wondering if anyone had any info on Dr. Thomas Borland in New Iberia? I've been looking into driving down to Mexico to get the surgery done (my husband and I are terrified of flying) but then I found that for only $1000 more, I could have it done only 4 hours away rather than 13 hours away. I see that he is the Chief of Surgery at the hospital, so that is very comforting too, but I also see that he does the surgery as outpatient and then has you stay in a local hotel so he can make "house calls" to you. Is that safe? I haven't read of any doctors not making you stay 2 days in a hospital, much less only a few hours. Anyway, thanks for info you can give me!
  4. Has anyone used Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Juarez? I've been scouring the internet trying to find surgeons in Mexico that work with finance companies. I've been denied by them all, but I found that Dr. Rodriguez has In House Financing for those that have been denied before (a large down payment required.) I called and the scheduler said that she would get back with me on Monday or Tuesday to let me know if I was accepted or denied. His resume looks impressive and the hospital looks nice. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with him. Thanks for any info you can give me!
  5. I haven't had my surgery yet (still saving up), but I'm from MS (Jackson area). Hope your surgery went well!
