  1. I'm thinking about having a Glow Peel done the day after Surgery. Has anyone considered that or done that?
  2. Good luck to you. I'll be there Monday morning but you'll prob be gone by then. Is there Wifi there?
  3. Bleaching creams don't work. This is caused by the over production of insulin in the body. Unless that's regulated the darkness will be there. See the comment above that gives the exact cause for it.
  4. Thanks! Good luck to you too!
  5. My mother is going with me next week and she will have dental work done but my coordinator at Dr. Ortiz office said that there's a dentist about 10 min away that will do her work.
  6. One week from today will be my turn. Nervous and Excited and Anxious to get it started.
  7. My BF and I have been together off and on for a year. Right now we're on and he's supportive of me having this done. Last year was hell for me. I realized that he has insecurities within himself that we haven't found the root of that yet. He's tall, dark, and handsome. Women throw themselves at him at every opportunity and he felt he had to oblige. After all the fights and the "final" walk out on the relationship he vowed to make a change and get help for his issues. Pre op he had no concern of me cheating or leaving him. Now that I'm going through with this he is really stepping up to be my "ideal" but I fear that this is the start of him being insecure about me still being with him. He's done a 180 too quick and has me suspicious or am I creating a situation??? Or am I still engaging in negative thoughts that I am not worthy of this Adonis of Man to truly want me??? Anybody understand what I mean?
  8. I'm on the 21st too. How is ur Pre op diet going for u? I was doing good initially. The past 3 days I ate a chicken salad 1 day, Asian lettuce wraps the second, and today another chicken salad. In my mind I'm replacing the diet meal but those meals I ate were more calories but I was starving. I have lost 7 lbs and really need to lose another 8 to atleast do the 5% weight loss pre op. I'm nervous. Just 1 wk to go!
  9. I'm 10 days away and 7lbs away from pre op weight loss goal. I'm getting nervous and anxious. I've had 2 slip ups with food but made it healthy food: salad and chicken lettuce wraps. Going all day drinking only 2 shakes til dinner had my sugar dipping and giving me a headache. I think that I will have my 1 healthy meal for lunch instead if dinner and do a shake for dinner instead. I've tried to stop smoking which I've done better than I thought but I did break down and smoke some yesterday. That calmed the craving and today I didn't even think about it. Hopefully I can stay that way. I can't wait to get this done!
  10. I'm scheduled for 1/21 and today was my first day on the pre op diet. Also my first day being smoke free. It was a lil bit hard but I made it through. Can't wait to get this done!

  12. Wow! I'm glad I choose the sleeve. I definitely think I'll have better results and the surgeons are more experienced in it.
  13. That would be a hellava wardrobe! Lol if you're comfortable traveling then by all means save the money.
  14. No that was Bos123 who replied to me saying that was a reason to do the Plication over the Sleeve. I ended up deciding on the Sleeve.
  15. You should go to the doctor and have a complete allergy blood test done. I just had to do this with my daughter after she had that reaction to fish. It progressively got worse to her vomiting after eating it before I realized it was the fish probably causing it. Keep Benadryl on hand. Common things for allergies are fish, shellfish, wheat, gluten, peanuts, milk. I'm not a doctor but I've just went through this. Really evaluate what you ate when it happened. Each reaction will get worse and could cause your throat to swell and block breathing. Hope this helps.
