I am a DURAN DOLL!!!!!!

I just got my date October 15th. I had to call to get it. I sent many many emails messages on facebook etc. Finally I decided to call. Didn't get anyone the first day, but today I did!! If you need answers ladies, you need to call. I have two months left but I will keep posting as I experience more with dra duran and the procedure.

So I went to my bank today and did a wire transfer. They asked if it was a checking or savings account and I said" I do not know. this is the information that was given does this give any clues?" she said no. so i picked checking. gosh I hope that was right.
I also went to doc today and got blood work done. he said he was going to do something like an anemia panel?? I started taking iron, b 12, vit c, multi vitamin, fish oil... etc. over a week ago and my surgery is not scheduled till oct. 15. he did say three years ago when I had and hcg? panel My hemo was 12.6 he said was normal. I want 15!!! or of course at least 13 but Im hoping for more. I have been very tired lately. I am hoping its not low iron. I also got a referral for a mammagram. I am 40 yes 40 hard to beleive I am here at 40. I want to get it before, because I dont want my new lifted boobies all squished!! hahaha Not to mention it will just make me feel better. Breast exams ladies!!! they aint no joke!!!! so back to iron...
I dont eat hardly any red meat. I have a hard time eating meat in general. ( I had lap band july 2011 in TIJIUANA MEXICO.) That was capital because I sure am not afraid to go out of the country for anything!
It was a wonderful experience. I loved the hospital angeles. It was amazing. staff amazing doctors amazing. hospital amazing. felt safe, felt secure, felt loved! my husband did go with me for that surgery and he had a great time. He watch a lot of tv in spanish and napped in the recliner in the room. he said they came in several times the day i was outta it and cleaned. made him move and moved all his stuff! he said they were super friendly about it though! He said it was the cleanest hospital he's ever been in and I do agree. I would love to go there for any and every surgery. of course I dont think our insurance will pay for us to go there. stupid because the insurance company would save money!!!!!!
The doctors and ladies that met us on arrival did speak english. also our wonderful driver that picked us up and dropped us at the airport did also.The nurses did not speak english well, but appreciated if you tried to speak spanish. so, I tried to speak as much spanish as I know... which is very very little. I still have the print out given to me by my doctor in mexico for basic requests with the nurses. I will have to re memorize those..Well i am 5' 9" and was 240 pounds when I went to mexico two years ago and now I am 175. Not a lot of weight loss for two years but It is still REALLY HARD to lose weight even with lap band. You really need to have fills very often and I have only been able to get 2 since having it. that is the problem with lap band in another country. No doctor wants to touch you. I am hoping to get down to 165 before surgery. I went to california january of this year so while I was there i skipped on down to the border to hospital angeles to have a fill and they were just as wonderful then as they were for my surgery. So back to the no doctor wants to touch you thing... I had a fill in raleigh NC and it was horrible and painful and took forever. he complained the whole time about mexican doctors burying the port. I dont even want to tell you the positions I had to get into for him to be able to do the fill. In january i went to same doc that did surgery for fill. I went in laid on table he felt around for about 10 seconds and stuck the needle in first time. yes dear! first time. whole process took 10 minutes and that included me drinking some white liquid and them watching how it went down ... FLouroscopy. It was strange to watch the liquid. amazing. I just cannot say enough. If anyone knows someone interested. I would be glad to give all my doctors info and tips on aftercare in the states. Tijiuana was my first choice for this surgery, but it is a very long flight from north carolina and worse a long flight back! so I am guessing you c n tell from this I am probably severely ADD! I just move on to another subject and forget where I was!! ok I think that is it for now.

Im 40 and I have one 20 year old son in college! holy smokes the years fly by. ladies hug those babies!!!!!!
currently 175 pounds
hope to be 165
mostly healthy
hopefully with good iron
going to DR by my lonesome self. Hubby staying home hes gotta work and take care of our 5 ...yes 5... chihuahuas. my babies!!!!!!
I am planning on staying for 10 days if I feel very good and doctor allows I may see if I can scoot home sooner.
if there is anyone going around then even to another doc let me know I would love to know even just one person when I am there. more the merrier!!
I am panning on having mommy makeover with a little bbl.
My main interest is getting these saggy things on my chest taken off my stomach and put back on my chest! and tummy tuck. everything else is gravy! i love a curvy figure but gravity must be fought first. If god is willing I will have it all, but if not i will be going another time for the lipo and bbl.
here are current pics of me.

It sure is good to let it all out here. So many people are so judgemental about what I want to do with MY life and MY body. Here everyone seems so supportive. Give yourselves a pat on the back for supporting fellow seekers of inner and outer beautification enlightenment!
