Hey there everyone!
I have been "lurking" (as many of you call it) here for a few weeks now and I can't even begin to express how much all of your posts have helped make this decision so much easier for me.
Let me tell you a little about myself:
My name is Bonnie, 21 from Orange County, CA and I am planning on having VSG with Dr. Aceves sometime in September or early October. I have already been approved by him to come down for surgery now but I am not going to be able to do it financially until then. I'm so excited and although that seems so far away right now, I know it will be will worth the wait!
I recently got engaged and have started planning a wedding for November of 2011 with my AMAZING Fianc?' Kevin. Surgery was something I was thinking about long before he asked me to marry him but now everything seems to be falling in to place in order to make my dreams a reality. Kevin has been so supportive in me wanting to make this change and is willing to fund things as well. He was only slightly hesitant when I told him I wanted to go to Mexico and then I had him read all of Dr Aceves' reviews and now he is fine with it. (hehe Thanks guys!):thumbup:
He just jokes now and says "You can do side bend or sit-ups, or have gastric surgery...But please don?t lose that butt." haha :thumbup:
As for telling family and friends, that is a bit more difficult for me. I have told a few of my close friends that I want to have this procedure done and they have been supportive but I'm just not ready to tell my family. In time I most likely will but probably after I have the surgery so they don't try to talk me out of it. Haha Not that they could.. I just don?t want them to worry and every more so I just don?t wanna hear it. :001_rolleyes:There are a lot of other factors in me making that decision but those can all be discussed with them at a late time.
Anyways...That's just a little about me and I hope that I will get to know all of you a lot better in the coming months. Your stories have all been so inspirational and I can?t wait to get on that losers bench with all of you!
Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like to talk more.
