Back in 2010 I received gastric bypass surgery. My highest weight was 290 pounds. I am currently 5'4" tall my weight is 207 pounds. I've already made my mind up on what Dr. I want. On June 16th I attended a webinar with Dr. Jimmerson. In Atlanta Georgia. I sent these pictures to this staff want almost one week before the webinar. On June 17 I spoke with Shelly(The patient Coordinator) about my photos. She told me that it will be a good idea to get down to 145 and 150 pounds in order to achieve the look I am going for. I need tt, bra roll lipo, bbl and more was quoted close to 17,000. I put down my $500 deposit. And got an surgery date of May 9, 2014. Follow me as I make this transformation.

I found ALOT of good tips on the internet. Basically LOTS of water. Protein, fruits and veggies. I eat the meat off of my plate first, so that it fills me up faster, and I eat less. U CAN do it!

Aww. Thanks Badunk. We can lean on eachother. Im kinda new to this, so please forgive me for taking a while to get back to ya. Did you choose a Doc yet?
June 18, 2013
We sure can! No worries...we are all busy now-a-days...ugh! LOL My first choice would be Dr. Jimerson. But I am new to this also, and although he does amazing work, I want to be thorough in my research on doctors. Plus, I am seeing a lot of wish pic's on here....but not enough post-op pic's. Thinking if more would post the post-op and rep for their doc's might help my decision easier...ya know?! Also I am wondering.....not to pry....but what if you lose the weight before your surgery-will the price the doc quoted you change?? I have a ton of questions...lol

Hey ladies. I've been gone for a couple days actually, not really gone but I just stalking RS, Gathering information, &getting to know the site a little bit. Well after reading Robbed story, About Her experience with Dr. Andrew Jimerson I decided to change surgeons, I've been looking more into Dr Baez. (IN D.R). Being that I a.m. on the heavier side, I don't really want a surgeon operating on me that has most of his experience handling smaller framed women. Although I plan on losing about 30 more pounds oh yeah, I'm down to 201 pounds so down 6 pounds from about a week ago...(heyyy) I'LL DEFINITELY NEED AGGRESSIVE lipo And a surgeon that specialize in lipo sculpture. I just emailed Dr. BAEZ pictures of myself yesterday, so hopefully she gets back to me soon so that she can let me know about the next steps. Oh yeah, does anyone know how to change my surgeon on here?
