I'm nervous, scheduled for May 8th with dr Cardenas. Lots of great reviews although I see some negativity also but the negative reviews have no pictures. That's very important to have pictures whether, good or bad. Anyway working on my hemo, last time I checked it was 10.5 need at least a 11.5 b4 surgery wish me luck ladies.

Make sure you get that hemoglobin up there another girl here on real self had to have a blood transfusion because she was at 8 point something also you should ask If there's any way of taking your own donated blood or how do you go about doing that so you don't have to receive a stranger's blood, I'm learning a lot by reading everyones profile and I'm very thankful that patients share their experience and what's going on with them

Surgery date moved up to May 5th

My date got moved up to the 5th, I'm constantly in the mirror envisioning what I'm going to look life after. I'm sure it will be great Dr Cardenas seems to be a talented at incisions. I'm so nervous, not to mention I'm using most of my savings for this, but I don't care, I'm young and have always struggled with my weight. I would like for once in my life to know what it feels like to wear a bikini. I don't have any children and sometimes I think I making a bad decision but life's so short and I'm may never have kids. But I'll be living my life with more confidence.

I'm sure you're taking a supplement twice a day but make sure to eat a lot of dark green leafy veggies like raw spinach.

Ugh it posted before I was finished writing. Red meat has a lot of iron and so do dried apricots. Good luck!!!
