I'm 29 y/o. Had 3 children back to back and gained tremendous amount of weight! I'm still struggling with weight, but I am now better choices to improve my health. Having 3 kids took a toll on my body and just can't seem to bounce back to my pre mommy days figure ( although I never had a great figure to begin with) I've never really had a flat tummy or a bootay to show off.. I've been wishing for a flatter tummy and a nice butt for the longest time now so I'm hoping this surgery will meet that all that. I've been pretty depressed about how I look lately and I just want to feel good going to a clothing store and actually buy something besides yoga pants and pajamas lol.
I am super excited for this new chapter of my life! And I hope to meet people who are going through the same thing.. Any advice and positive comments are welcome!!

I am so happy to have you here with us in the community.  You will feel like a new woman shortly.  Time to take that body back and love shopping and getting dressed again. 

Keep me up to date on everything.  And don't forget about the before and after pictures:)

Unfortunately life dealt me with some serious situations this year..I keep telling myself that it's my turn to do me now as new year approach! I am extremely excited and I really hope I get what I wish for and everything goes well during my stay in Mexico. T- minus 19 days until i fly out! I'm still having a hard time trying to figure out how to post photos, but I will do so as soon as I figure it out.

Week! I'm so excited! Although I am a little bummed about some weight gain during the holidays.. I'm trying so hard to not get tempted with food, but this this time of the year seems to be all about getting together and having a big feast!! I'm trying to stay strong with the cravings! Does anyone else have the same issues?

I'm still waiting to book my stay in BCRH.. Hopefully I can take care of all that by tomorrow!! If anyone is reading this and have gone with dr. Cardenas, please give me the insight of what I should pack for my trip. I will be flying from Oakland to Sandiego and will be staying in the recovery house for 5 days after the surgery.. Any suggestions, advice and support are welcome!

My laptop just died in me, and I am a little upset about that.. I'll have to try to figure out how to post before and after photos some other ways..so I guess, stay tuned for it! :)
