50 years old looking forward to mommy make over.

WORTH IT$11,000
My journey has been very exciting I had GBS ( gastic bypass surgery) 13 years ago I was weighing in at my heaviest 285 pounds. My son was 2 years old and I had to make a decision do I want this weight off? I immediately started getting the ball rolling for my surgery. The decision was then made clearer. May 23, 2004 I had my surgery I now weigh 157-160 I'm 5'3 and I'm pleased with my weight I'm so excited to finally have this mommy make over after 13 years of trying to decide. Once again I'm excited about getting this excess fat off my abdomen. May God watch over all of us as we make our plans for the journey to the flat side.

Hello there! I am getting excited I've…

Hello there! I am getting excited I've order everything for my comfort after my surgery. My high rise toilet seat and shower chair. My sister and I are both having surgery on the same day 5/23. Drainless tummy tuck and breast reduction for me. Drainless tummy tuck with back contours for her. We are getting excited. Our older sister is coming down to my house to be our caretaker for 3 weeks. After that hopefully my sister will go to her home and finish recuperating there. I love this site it really helps me to see positive people doing things for themselves. Blessings to each of you my RS sistas.

Sister bond in your family is STRONG! You are truly blessed! Two of my sisters came to take care of me. The other couldn't get the time off. My older sister is 5'3" like you. She told us she is going to do the gastric bypass. This forum has helped me tremendously. Did you do a blog during your gastric bypass surgery? I want her to be prepared. I want to be prepared so I can give her the best help. Of course, I am the planner in my family. They love me anyway!!
