I'm sooo excited for you!! Please let us know how everything goes! I will be headed there on the 22nd for my surgery on the 23rd. I hope that you are able to rest. I imagine you are a ball of nerves. Come back and share every last detail!! Good luck!

March 23rd here. I still haven't found a surgery buddy.

Yeah...The Stairclimber and I are going to be getting extremely close for sure!!

I'ig fan of the taste of the Syntrax protein powders too. I am drinking the Caribbean Cooler now which I personally love. It tastes like a pina colada sort of. I happen to love the flavor of coconut so I enjoy it. I t I had the fuzzy navel. I am going to order some more. I wonder how they stack up against some of the other protein powders nutritionally.

I am new too. Welcome!!! Have you had your vsg yet? My date is March 23rd. Woohoo!!!

Jamie, I just looked at your gallery and we are built so similar...I'm just a much larger version of course. You have an hourglass shape. It looks great on you!! Oh and I saw that Ariel Ortiz was your surgeon?? He's going to do my surgery next month! I would love to find out about your experience!!! I am going alone and don't know what all to take with me and you were there. Wow...so awesome. If you ever have time...please share a little with me.

Jamie, First off, thanks for the positive comment about my stomach. I have a strange build for sure. I have been scouring the internet for specific exercises for my legs because they are incredibly large and covered with bulging fat deposits. Like you said...maybe as I lose weight overall, some is bound to come off there too. I will likely require some liposuction. I am just thankful for the opportunity to have this surgery!! I weighed in at 283 this morning, which is a 15 pound loss from the Feb 1st when I started my preop diet. 4 weeks to go till surgery.

Check you out!!!

Wowza! Look fantastic!!

WTG...look great!

Look at you...gorgeous! What is your boyfriend's perspective on weight loss surgery? I'm just curious because my husband is completely against it. Of course I'm still going to do it though.

@@screwthescale I am so terribly sorry about your loss. I admire the courage that it must take you to go through this journey. I lost my mother a year ago and I have spent the past year sitting in a recliner getting fatter and feeling sorry for myself. I've decided to have weight loss surgery though my insurance doesn't pay for it. My husband is completely against it; he thinks it's weak. I'm going ahead though and doing what I feel is necessary so that get back into the world.

I just love seeing these before and after photos. So inspiring. You are so pretty...gorgeous smile!

@Lumpy...You look incredible!!
