I am 10 days away from my surgery and I have watched stories And procedures and I am so nervous....I have two kids and all my life I have struggled with weight issues... I have been bulimic in high school I was comfortable in a size 14/15 and after I had my second child it was very hard for me to loose weight it seemed as I was not seek g any improvement at all. Eating right working out, Zumba the works. I started my research late October early November and I am so existed.... Support is very important for me and My husband and sister will be there to see me through it all... I am now 250lb and I am looking forward to the new me.. If there is anyone that could give advise and anything helpful to keep me at ease I would greatly appreciate it. I have read a lot of your stories and it makes me feel like what I am doing is worth every penny.... I don't have photos to post yet but I will leading up to my procedure.

Great review?

Oh yes please call the doctor. It's always best to be safe. It sounds like you may have a little water retention as well which is easy to take care of.

Hi Bella wanted to let u know I had my procedure yesterday and everything went well. The hospital made me feel so good and comfortable that was very important to me because some hospital will treat like shxx. But before I know it I was asleep and I could t remember nothing not even why I was there lol that's crazy but I wanted to let u know how I was doing. I am counting the days till your surgery. Good luck:)
