Heading to DR for the New ME! - Dominican Republic, DO

HI everyone, i have been on this website researching and getting
information to help me make the decision to go to DR and have surgery.
This site has helped me so much! It motivates me and get me excited
to go.

I decided to go with Dr. Wilikiris Robles. I am super excited and
nervous. so i decided to write my journey on here since i have been
preparing to go.

A little about me. I just turned 35 yesterda (yay!) i have 3 young
boy and single. I have be on the heavy side alll my life. In October
of 2007 i had gastric bypass surgery, i went from 317lb at the time
of surgery to 215-217lb. I ended up getting pregenant in December of
2007. Had my second boy but didn't gain any weight since i was still
fresh off the surgery. 2 years later i have my 3 and FINAL son! lol.
i did gain weight with him. I am now around 235-240lb. I am 5'9 so
i am pretty tall so that plays a roll as well. i am plannning to lose
at least 23-40lbs before the surgery.

I decided to get the surgery done because i want to look as fabulous
as i think i do in my head! LOL. I have alot of extra skin from the
rapid weight loss and just need everything to be where it should!.
lol so i have contacted Laura and got a quote after filling out the
information and sending my pictures. So i am excited. As im writing
this, it is starting to seem more real. I know i have a lil time to
go but before it will be here before i know it! I have to really plan
because of my job and school of my kids. They are having a long
vacation in April so i decided that that would be the time to go and
get it done. My mom works for the board of ed so she had the same
schedule as my kids do. So she is staying with them.

So i just want to jot down my journey. So if anyone have any info or
tips on how i could lose these 30-40lb before April of next year
please let me know. If anyone is planning to head out there around
that time please hit me up. I will be traveling by myself so it would
be GREAT to have a partner in crime! lol :)

Until the next time......

Hey everyone. So I have a dilemma!! My sister is getting married 2 weeks after my surgery in Vegas! Now im conflicted because I dont know if I will be able to function at all or be able to even walk straight in 2 weeks time. It's More like 11 days! If I don't go I'll be the bad guy!!!

She has been debating about what and when to get married. I decide to do my surgery I'm April and spoke to Laura and everything. Now she comes back and tells me the she is getting married on April 23. I have been considering leaving from DR to Vegas but don't know if I would be able to handle it. Can anyone give me some insight on how they felt about 2 weeks after their surgery?? Ugh!!! Help!!! What should I do????
