  1. I thought one of my relatives was getting sleeved when I read Fahn by 40! My maiden name is Fahn. So, that's why my user name is Fawn, so people know how to pronounce it. Fahn is my nick name. I love your definition of Fahn! And you will be Fahn By 40!
  2. Amber, thanks for sharing your story in such detail! Like Skgirl27, I'm seeing Dr Kelly but in early April. When I get scared and have doubts, I read your story, and again, I'm convinced its the right decision with the right surgeon! Thank you again for sharing your story. I pray that you heal quickly and the mental hunger loses its charm . Linda
  3. Well stated! I like the analogy about food commercials. You are so right! Love your soap box!
  4. Every step adds up! I needed to find my pedometer!
  5. I sent you a private message!
  6. Exactly the reason why I picked Dr. Kelly! I feel safe in his hands. I love the way his patients speak so highly about his bed side manner and skill. Wishing you safe travels and successful surgery! Linda
  7. Get out of Town!!!!!! I want to go to Dr Kelly! Where did you get that information? Lora? I have planned to have want my surgery April 1st! Seriously, who to I speak with to get that offer??? Do tell!!!
  8. Jesser, I feel exactly like you! I haven't said anything to my mother because she is so negative about everything, I just don't want to hear it. I am struggling on a decision about Tijuana surgeons. The one that I really want is $5,500. I just learned last night that his former asst surgeon has opened his own practice and is charging $4,000. But, I can hardly find any information about any of his patients. Is this good because he performed 1,000 surgerys with my preferred doctor? If I helped someone 1,000 times, I think I would be really good at it, so why do I question the junior surgeons experience?? My husband is very supportive, thankfully! However, he just closed his business as it was costing more to keep the doors open than not. So, $1,500 seems much more important. Then I feel like I'm so crazy for wanting this surgery! I picture my self wearing a gown and being wheeled into surgery, and I start flipping out! I'm such a mess! I don't want to tell any of my 2 Friends that know, as I don't want anyone knowing these crazy range of emotions that I'm going through. Don't want anyone to have ammunition to talk me out of it. I have enough cash to pick the better surgeon. I should stay with who I feel comfortable and in the long run, $1,500 extra in my pocket won't really change things. Maybe I just talked myself into going with the surgeon where I would trust my life in his hands I guess you have to do what you are doing....weighing your comfort level with the cost. I wish the best in your decision! Fawn
  9. Effexor was the hardest drug to withdraw. I don't think you would experience withdraw symptoms its just a couple days. But quitting cold turkey was difficult. So don't go too long without it.
