I am a pre sleever with Dr. Lopez and Dr. Osuna, I am so excited to go on August 27th and really start to win my war in this battle against obesity. I have two daughters 11 and 5 and a wonderful hubby. I can't wait to hear about your experiences and can't wait to share mine with you. =)

Hey there Leprechaun! Thanks for the invite. Well, this is cozy. I should have no trouble keeping up. Here's about me: I'm 45 and have about 115 pounds to lose. At 5'5" I'm 242 pounds and have joint pain, sleep apnea and high blood pressure. I also have 2 girls, 15 and 10 years . I'm looking forward to being free of pain and hopefully my meds. I used to love clothes and dressing up. It would be such a pleasure to wear what I want and feel good about my appearance. I'm so glad I found out about this surgery option and am eager to get it done. I'll be armed with some serious tools for success. Yay for us who have the courage to take our health into our own hands and make change for a better life!

Are you getting excited yukon? I go between super happy and super holy batman still. Are you being more solid? lol ooh there is a huge sale on at Sangsters. Buy one get one 50% off. If you have one there, it's worth checking out, and stock up on B12 vits.

HI! I'm so glad that I found this group. My surgery in September 21. I am 41 and I have 1 son who is 6. I'm a stay-at-home mom/wife. I'm sure y'all have watched videos on Youtube, following other peoples journeys. I've started mine. I'm VSGJean. Please check me out. If you have a channel, let me know so I can put a face to your name.

you are going to LOVE Dr. Lopez! We just got home two nights ago. I feel amazing! The whole thing was fabulous. It felt like a vacation, not a surgery in Mexico.

HI!!! I am scheduled for Dr. Lopez on Ocotber 25th. I am soooo excited. Glad I found this group. Now I can get some first hand info. I have spoke with Janese (my coordinator) & made my deposit. Applied for my passport, wish I would have realized that it would be here in less than 2 weeks. I would have made my date for sooner. I have been considering surgery since my sister had her RNY in 2009. I know long time. I have just been waiting to get it right in my mind mentally. I am 36 & ready to change my life. I am married & have two kids 14 & 12. I will be traveling alone & ready for the journey to mynew life.

Hard to believe it's been three weeks since the operation. Wow time flies! I dropped 11 pounds in 6 days the second week, after I got home and then stalled for a full week after. Now I'm losing again. It is easier to eat healthy with out the constant hunger cravings. I eat 5 small meals a day and that seems to satisfy me fine. How are you all doing?

I struggle to eat, I am NEVER hungry still....but, it's about a quarter cup and I am done. I am losing and feeling pretty good, I just need to make sure I get enough sleep. Some of my girlfriends have bets on if I am just going to disappear lol...they are boogers. I am excited for this new me...scared out of my mind though...as frankly I haven't been THIS small in well over ummm 13 years. So, it's new, and scary... totally worth it though!
