Hello. I am a 32 yr old mother of three. I have decided to embark on this journey with my sister. I have been contemplating having a TT since 2001 after the my first pregnancy and c-section delivery left my abdominal area disfigured. Prior to me becoming pregnant with twins , my flat and toned stomach was one of my most prized assets. I loved doing situps because it was one of the few exercises I liked. After a whopping 70 lb weight gain I was determined to get the weight off. The situps I enjoyed so much left my stomach in knots that hurt so bad I cried. It scared me so bad, I never did them again. That was the beginning of my downward spiral. I have tried every diet one can imagine and even managed a 60lb weight loss in 2010 but it did nothing for my freddy kuger like stretchmarks and flabby arms. After some financial and marriage stressors came about I gained most of the weightback. When my sister asked me to accompany her to DO. I started thinking that my dream could actually come true. The quote I received is awesome and the reviews that I have seen for Dr. robles are encouraging. So although I have a short time to lose as much weight as possible I am determined to reach my goal.

Hi...wow we have very different stories but yet and still we share so much! I don't have any children at all but was often asked "are you pregnant" and that was enough steam to encourage me to lose 80+ lbs however I got to comfortable and stressful job and life I regained 30lbs and it feels awful... That is not the end I plan to re-emerge back into society like beautiful swan once I have my Robles remix! Lol

I am eating healthy these days and combining the exercise. Last week was easy because I was off from work. I'm back today, and here comes the test. My job is stressful, so I have my share of challenges. However, my driving force is knowing that I am gonna have this surgery,and like you said I want to do everything in my power to have the best recovery possible. 2 weeks ago my hemoglobin was 12. That was before I started the iron. I anticipate a significant increase by the end of June.
