Good luck! Hoping to head back to Tijuana later this year for plastics! Cannot wait to see your pics

OMG - so funny about licking the potato chip! Ha ha! I can totally relate! Be sure to let us know about your surgery. Hugs!

I could have done the hair appointment, but I could not have done Thanksgiving. We usually host Thanksgiving for 17 (I take care of the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy). Our guests bring...

You have two very thoughtful teenagers! And congrats on hitting your goal!

Had VSG surgery in February....down 79.6 lbs. First time EVER watching the Biggest Loser as a thin person. In the past, my hubs and I would get a snack, watch the show and talk about how difficult...

YES! Blaze your own trail and see who notices, supports you and decides to make some changes too! This is all about you...it will change your life in more ways than you can imagine.

I finally got to the point where I was comfortable telling folks what I was going to do. Appreciate that some didn't think I was "fat enough" for weight loss surgery....but their pants weren't up...

Wow - you look AMAZING! Thank you for sharing!

Prayers and hugs...appreciate the update.

Go to Mexico - it was a better experience than any surgery I have ever had in the States (and I have had 5 other non-weight loss/non-cosmetic procedures). As far as follow up, I had 3 follow up...

YES! I totally get where you are coming from. And for me, when we go out to eat, I am stunned to see the HUGE quantities of truly gross food my friends/family eat....knowing that I used to do it...

I am so sorry for your loss. Isn't it crazy how we sometimes revert back to our old buddy food? Good for you for coming here and getting support. I get what you are feeling. And you are doing...

You are welcome to check out my blog...I had surgery in Mexico....family freaked out when I told them my plan, but I had done the research and knew exactly what I was getting. HoosierFatty | Fat to...

Although I didn't use Dr. Almanza, I blogged my whole selection process, surgery story, etc. You are welcome to read my blog to get info on Mexico, etc. Good luck and good for you to do your...

OMG - love this thread! I have a sister in law that is the same way. I bet your weight loss is pushing their buttons and bringing about super-excessive bitchiness. Just a guess that your success...

OMG - that is awesome (and terrifying) that your surgery was the same cost 15 Tylenol capsules in the US! LOL

At last year’s annual physical, I asked my primary care physician (PCP) if I would benefit from weight loss surgery. She said, “Yes, weight loss surgery would benefit you. But, not something as...

What could it hurt? Try it. Who knows! I saw something about a 6'6" truck driver who lost over 110lbs doing ZUMBA and is now an instructor. Don't pre-judge, just give it a go. (My husband says...

Wow - you look great! Congrats on your weight loss. Keep posting pics, it's so motivating!

TODAY is your day! Good luck! Had surgery there in February. Dr. Miranda (the NUT) is wonderful! She has been very helpful with random post-op questions. Be sure to let us know how you are doing.

If you could hear me whistle, I just did a cat call....you look AMAZING!

Miss Bean - yes, I have had terrible constipation issues...it will get better. When I had the bad constipation problem, the only way I was able to get immediate relief was a suppository. After the...

Welcome! And CONGRATS on your surgery date!

Have been exercising 30 min per day, 6 days a week using Jillian Michaels 90 day body revolution program. It's progressively more challenging workouts over the 90 days. Having never been an...

OH NO - that makes me wince to think about the bruising!
