I've been researching ways and different accessories to buy to lose weight but it was getting stressful. I am 35, mother of a 15 yr old son and a 3yr old daughter. I've been married sense I was 18 so my husband knows how I started off...lol. I don't have a problem with my overall body, but looking at my waist and stomach over the years can get very depressing. I work 5 days a week and I dont get free time .. what is that? So by the time I decide to treat myself I'm either too tired I r too broke because I have put everything else first. But not this time, I told my husband I was going to do it and he has been supported through every step. Him and the kids went on my initial drs visit in Charlotte, NC. I researched my ass off and found Dr.Andrew Gear who was so sweet and realistic on what I can get. I told him I wasn't looking to be like I was in college be if he could smooth it out and lose the belly role I would do the rest. Dr Gear told me not only could he do that he could do better snd explained every detail and examples of his work to both me and my husband. So here I go ladies. .. ready to join the snatched waist club...lol... wish me luck going In June .

I completely understand. We deserve this!! I too have a husband, and a 12 year old daughter. I focus on them allllll the time. This time, I'm doing me.....first! Lol! I will still be wifey and mama, but I will be on the flat side doing me. I'm scheduled for June 6th. I pray we both have a positive experience with the procedure, and a speedy recovery. Be blessed!!

Ur rite I 2 don't know what "free time" is. I work at least 60 hrs a week, when I get home all I have time and want to do us sleep. I'm the mother of a 17 year old daughter, who just have nothing but encouraging words. My surgery is scheduled for July 22nd, nervous n excited all at the same time. Bye bye rolls!!!!
