I am extremely jealous!! This is something that I have wanted to have done for a very long time. I know it will be a painful recovery but it will be worth it. I always say I am not having any more surgeries unless everything that you are having done is included...lol. I have a hernia that is going to have to be taken care of one of these days. Maybe I should start saving to have all the extras done like you did.

You have to pm me with all the details! How did you ever go about picking a doctor? What hospital? How much? I want to know it all...lol

I have to go to the hospital the morning of your surgery for some tests so when I am laying there having my scan done I will be thinking of you and wishing you a safe surgery and a very easy recovery with beautiful results in the end.

Congratulations on your weight loss and keeping it off. All of PT Land will, of course, be thinking of you on December 4th. I watch many of the programs on Discovery Health and the procedure that you had (gastric bypass) has been covered many times as has the removal of excess skin tissue afterwards. These people look absolutely terrific, however it sure doesn't appear to be a day at the beach (the recovery). I am sure your doctor has informed you that it will be tough. Keep your eyes on the prize though!! We all commend you for your determination. You go girl!

Just remembered that my next door neighbor had gastric bypass surgery
about 1 year 1/2 ago. She always was a beautiful girl, but way overweight.
She had tried just about every diet there is & could never lose weight. Well,
you should she her now. She lost over 100lbs and bought a whole new
wordrobe. She looks great.

Good for you! I have 2 friends who also had gastric bypass and as you know, the results were amazing. So much so, that every time I saw them, tears would well up from awe! Both these girls also had lifts and tucks and excess skin removed. All I can say, from what they've said, is that it was worth every painful minute. Neither of these girls ever lacked confidence before the surgery, but afterwards, when they walked into a room, they glowed.

Surgery is always scary. I will be thinking of you. Ask the anesthesologist (sp) for anti-nausea meds. I always do because I used to get so ill afterwards. I expect to see you modeling your Victoria Secret stuff! OMG! Your wardrobe is going to be fantastic!

What a wonderful Christmas gift you're giving yourself! Good Luck and Hugs and Blessings!

We'll all be thinking of you! You'll be in our prayers that everything goes as well as it possibly could! I need to get back to exercising and losing weight myself.
