Great job! You look fabulous!

I am also the 17th! Im a single mom of 3 kids 10, 8, 6. My daughters have birthdatys on the 18th and 22nd! I had a friend tell me "I dont want you to have this surgery; I don't want to have to go to a funeral" What the heck?? Anyway, they are supportive now, he just didnt want anything to happen to me. We can do this! Dont back down now!

I'm getting sleeved by Dr. Villanueva on 12/17, I love their office!

I am getting sleeved by Dr. Villanueva at Carolinas Weight Loss Surgery in Concord! His office is very nice and helpful. www.carolinasweightlosssurgery.com

I use a Hamilton Beach that I got at Walmart, So far so good. It was only about 15 dollars. But I also use ice thats already pretty small. Im not getting sleeved until 12/17.

I read part of your blog, its great so far!

Just noticed we aren't at the same hospital. I didn't know Dr. Heider worked anywhere other that LNRMC.

I am getting sleeved at NEMC by Dr. Villanueva, I didn't know Dr. Heider went to Northeast also. He is very easy on the eyes! I don't have a date yet.
