Hi,

Well, it is finally almost here. I have been waiting for this moment for months. I love Dr. Cardenas and admire him as a person and think he is an artist when it comes to cosmetic surgery.

I had my lap band done a year ago January and have lost 35 lbs. I have 10-15 more to lose. Yes, it is slow, but I was 195 at 5'7.

Dr. Cardenas did my eyes, upper and lower lids last March, he also did my ears (they looked like Dumbo). My eyes look fantastic!! He is going to do my face in a few months.

Anyway, I have had six c-sections and he said that a lift all the way around would be good. He is going to Lipo my flanks, bra area and hips too. He is also going to give me some fat in the bootie.

I have been researching this for months and am ready. He does sedation with an epidural, which is safer and great for pain mgt afterward. I will post photos afterwards even though my husband does not want me too, LOL.

Anyone have any last minute advice on what to take with me? I am so ready. I will be in Dallas for the bash next weekend, look me up!!

It might become that, but there is more recovery from your muscles being tightened and moved around. I plan on talking with him about that.

My daughter and I leave Monday for Monterey. I am anxious. I had my fill removed yesterday and am so happy to be able to eat apples. I also had two light beers last night....ahhhhhh

I can feel stomach hunger which I have not felt in a long time. I really miss being able to eat high Fiber foods, not bread. I am going to eat apples and kashi Cereal instead of breads....although, I had half a bagel with lox for Breakfast.....lol

I will be in the hospital for two days. I am having an epidural with sedation.

I will let everyone know how it went...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
