    Hi Lav,

    I was wondering if I might be able to speak with you about your experience with Dr. Aceves? I am scheduled to be sleeved on 1/5/13 and I'm excited, nervous, and brimming with questions! If you do have a moment, and you would be okay to share you experience, I'd love to chat! My # is 949-463-5439.

    Thanks!
    Liz

    You look so beautiful! You had your surgery on my birthday. Unfortunately I tried to get my surgery around the same time through insurance and of course they denied me. But hey I got to enjoy Dr. Umbach...so it was for the best!

2 Men Saved My Life

by lavendargirl1 on 10-03-2012 at 02:55 PM
I have been thinking about the road I have traveled throughout my life. My weight life that is. I have traveled forward and yes backwards, many many times. But I truly owe my current life and my road traveling forward to two men!

1. Dr Aceves:
You accepted me as I was. Moulded for me a new way of living! Gave me the tools, and the guidance, as well as your hand to stable me as I faltered and found my way through.

2. Dr Bello:

Mommy Makeover

by lavendargirl1 on 08-09-2012 at 10:38 AM
Well, I dun did it! LOL, I went and had my mommy make over on the 22nd of July.
Dr Bello at Hospital Almatar in Mexicalli, Mexico, is not only a wonderful surgeon but an honest, genuine human being. He met me at the nurses station, walked me thru all my check in and lab work. spent 2 hours in my room the night before going over every little aspect of my expectations and what he saw was needed.
The next morning he came in and marked me all up, and off we went to surgery. He only

I have been weeding out, giving away and or throwing away old clothes and such that I no longer need in my life.

Christmas Shopping-Food Courts

by lavendargirl1 on 12-09-2011 at 07:49 PM
Went down to the Charleston Outlets here in Las Vegas to do a little Christmas shopping today. I (we) were getting a little hungry so I thought, hmm the food court should have something I can have.
We went in and there was a vendor kind of like Panda Express, so I thought Mandarin Chicken, no sauce. Well I thought wrong, I have never had so much pain as I did today, nor come as close to throwing up as I did today.
Man I never want to experiance that again!

Walking-Swimming-Lifting Weights

by lavendargirl1 on 11-13-2011 at 12:29 PM
Today for the first time in I can't remember when I was able to walk 5 miles without being winded. I was also able to out stride my hubby for the first time ever. Wahooo, what a liberating feeling. It felt so good to that exercise in and breath clean crisp air.
Exercise on a reagular basis has always been a problem for me. Not that I don't have time, I just don't make the time.
My goal this year is to walk 3 days a week and swim at the gym while it is cold and then in my pool come
