WORTH IT$5,300
Well it's been quite some time since my last update. I've been swamped at work and going back to school.
I'm now 7months post op. I have to say I'm loving how I feel in my clothes and the compliments don't hurt. ;0)
My one and ONLY complaint would be this flap of skin left on my left hip. I believe it's referred to as a "dog ear".
I hate to feel it as I dress and undress. It's not gross but it not pretty either. Since I had the surgery in FL and I'm in the islands it's kind of hard to get it fixed. I've tried to reach out to the Anesthesiologist. She conducts all the business. But, I've yet to get a response. I'm going to call and see what they say.
But, all in all I love my TT and would never go back to the old me. Even if I have an odd looking hip. LoL

Well, I'm nearly 4 months post op now. I haven't been good about updating my profile. ~*Sorry!!*~
I'm feeling quite amazing! All my clothing are too big and nearly falling off of me. The clothes I thought I'd never ever fit in again ate fitting like a glove! I'm super proud of my results and my ability to keep loosing weight. I wore a batheing suit to the beach last week. (I never in a million yrs thought would happen again.) I looked great and felt great too! Fall is now apon us and I will not be another statistic. Gaining weight during the fall and winter. Nope that will not be me this time around. Halloween isn't really celebrated here in the islands so I'm not having to fight off candy and what not. But, Thanksgiving is a HUGE holiday here. That one I have to watch out for. But I'll keep sticking to what I've been doing. Lean protein and LoTTs of veggies. No carbs!!!! Well, when I get home from work Ill put up the long over due updated pics. Until then Ill see you around!

Well, my days are counted until my family and I get to go home. I'm quite excited but a little sad to be leaving my original home. I can't wait to get back to a routine. I love summer to be with my children all the time but I hate not having a steady routine. I'm a person of repetition. I'm feeling more like myself everyday that passes. I still have very little feeling in my stomach. Guess that kind makes me a bit Alien like. I pray to get the sensation back in my stomach. Not liking that one bit! But, all in all I'm satisfied with my results and would recommend my PS to anyone wanting to have their surgery in Miami, Fl- Coral Gabels, Fl. I'm still cutting back on my food intake. Can't really excersize but I'm doing what I can. From surgery date until now I'm down 20lbs. I know a lot of that was what the PS cut off but I also know that its the smart choices I've been making on the food I eat. Will put up some updated photos tomorrow. BTW- Went to the mall today. All the attention I got I'm totally not used to. From both women and men. I felt a bit self-conscious but great all at the same time. Guess I'll have to get used to that. Haha!
Going to sing out now.
Until next time....

Keep up the good work with the diet! You can do this and will be glad later on.

Let me tell you the scare I had this morning! I jumped on the scale and according to it I gained 3lbs. I about had a heart attack. Then my husband told me to get off the scale and realized that the scale wasn't zeroed out. I then went back on and have lost another 2lbs. Man that was much better! LoL Us women take the scale VERY seriously. Haha! I should probably stay off for a wk or so. So I can really see a difference next time I get on.

Yes we don't like to see that scale moving in the wrong direction. I don't get on often and when I do i am always hoping that it has gone down and not up lol. Good for you!
August 1, 2012
Oh man, I was almost heart broken. I've cut back so much and have even replaced 1 meal a day with a protein shake. So, Im putting in the work it better come off! LoL

I'm sure it's working for you. Especially when you start back to work, you will be more active. :)

Hey you! Life has been stressful since my family and I got home. Unfortunately, We were robbed for every piece of jewelry and every single electronic. But, the support from the PTA and friends has been great. Nothing helps the matter but they do make you feel a whole lot better. As far as the looks and what not from the women at work. I keep catching them watching and chatting with eachother. But THEY WON'T SAY A THING! LoL Envy is something else I tell ya! I want to thank you for keeping me in ur thoughts. You are truely the sweetest and make me feel so great for meeting you. Well, how's everything going with you? Still planning a trip here soon? We're going thur a tropical storm right now. Thanks Isaac!! LoL
Well, will try better with keeping in contact. The stress has just been a bit much.
