hi zmdh39 , i finally on the the sleeved side. i am 2 weeks post-op. so glad to get that ole gastric-band out & the sleeve done. i have no regrets, & im had a smooth surg, & enjoying my new tummy! how are you, would love to hear from u

I have a question after surgery, who took care of u if something happened. If u were to have a leak, who would have treated u?

Hee Hee, I like to change it because I love to show that curvy women can be sassy too. Whenever I find a new one, I am excited to put it up.

Thanks, I guess it pays for me to post only those pictures that don't show all my flaws.

I was reading one of your post regarding the cost of surgery and such. You mentioned the take home meds, im curious as to what meds they send patients home with and the cost. My surgery coordinator said everything except flight was included. My friend and I are scheduled on 12/5/14 very excited and nervous at the same time. TIA

Just read your 13 point post, I had to bookmark it! I will be using that a lot! Thank you!

Glad my words lifted you up. Just being honest though, you really do look great. You should be proud.

you look amazing. better every set of pics you post. well done.

Oh Ariel silks! They are on my to do list. Your profile pic looks like belly dancer-ish (the pony tail and the jewelry) and the make up from you "now" photo from your last post looked like maybe you were about to go do a show. I belly dance so I was probably just projecting. lol

I just read your anniversary post (congratulations!). I wanted to ask, judging by your profile pic and the two recent ones on your post, if you are a belly dancer too.

well, thats probably part of the reason i may be a bit bigger than what i want, cause my dr is always giving me steroids. they make u hungry. but they will bulk u up. i am always fighting ear infections sinucitis ... have really bad allergies. & i always end up on antibiotics & steroids. i hate it, but i love it. they do help me feel better. but just always try to get protien in it will help burn the wt off & as much water as possible. LOL, i wish it was as easy to loose wt as it were to gain it. i can miss a meal or 2 & stay the same, let me eat a meal or 2 & i gain !!!! go figure. not fair.so nice chatting with u. if ur able to eat fruit it will raise ur metabolism, sodas lower it. i find learning what certain foods can do for u helps to know what to eat & what not to eat really makes a big difference. hagd...ttyl

LOL!!!i was just acting silly. but my husband like it. he says i look great for a 64 yr of age woman. he gives me the big head. great to hear from u sweetie. cant wait to get this band out & get the sleeve! it will be here before i know it. i probably will loose a little after sug. but i just need to loose abot 15lbs. just dont want to blow up BIG again ever . u look great . have u met ur goal wt yet
