I have a surgery date finally!

This morning I got a call from my doctors office letting me know I had been approved! YAY!!!


I am so mixed with all the emotions that are running thru me. I am so happy that I will start my journey, so scared of going thru bandster hell, so nervouis about the sedation. AGH! I just wish I could fast forward to like maybe 4 months from now.


On another note, we got together with some of the Fam Bam this weekend, and let me just tell you all that I would always tell ppl to only take pictures of me from my breast up so my fat wouldn't come out on the pix, and this time I didn't care. I took so many pix with all my fam full body shots so I can compare them next year when we get together again. Hehehe!
Here's a pix of my sisters & I! As you can see I am and have always been the biggest one in the family :( The 2 on the right have both had a tummy tuck and boobie job.

Martha 37 yrs. Me 34 yrs. Esther 39 yrs. Jenny 36 yrs.

Ah I almost forgot, I told my sisters abou the shaving powder I have read about on some posts & comments, and we went on a mission to Walgreens to look for it. All of us got some. :)

  11. Congrats on being approved!! I think you're feeling the sames things we are all. I remember thinking, "Why can't I just wake up several months from now?!" Well, honestly...it's very much felt that way! I started my process on 3/17/10 and here we are more than three months later and things are just amazing. Before you know it, you'll blink and be down 20 lbs and on your way to the healthiest you ever! Good luck with the waiting game, it truly is the hardest part!

  14. Yay! Congratulations, amiga! I'll be praying that the surgery goes well. :)

    I tell my hubby the same thing whenever he takes my picture, "From the boobs up!" When I asked to take a full body "before" pic to post on my weight loss blog, he kept asking, "Are you sure?" And even then, he only took a pic from my knees up! :) LOL!
