Surgeon Testimonial

Laura Choi MD
My surgery was on 2/29/12, Dr. Choi was awesome she came to visit me before the surgery and insured me everything was going to be ok. She also came to visit me after and the day of discharge. She is so sweet and caring of her patients. Thank you Dr. Choi for making me feel that I was in great hands.

Happy New Year!
on January 2, 2013 7:00 am

I want to wish my OH Family a Happy and Healthy New Year!

It's been a while since I have been on and I miss u all very much. I have been really busy, being a wife, mom and with a new job its been crazy. I have only lost 70lbs had my stalls which I wasn't happy with but I continue to be happy that I have lost the weight. I haven't reached my goal but in due time I hope I do. Shopping is a whole new experience since I keep heading for the plus size section. I have gone from 3xl (shirts) to xl or 14 and 20/22 (pant) to a 12 so weird. Going to Forever 21, The Loft etc is still alittle scary when I think ppl are thinking what is chubs doing in this store but when I put on the clothes I'm like whhooaooaao look at me go girl.

I feel great and love the new me. I will try to stay on as much as possible and everyone looks fantastic

It's been a while!
on August 9, 2012 5:55 am

Hello my Beautiful OH Family,

It has been a while since I have been on here. The reason for that was there were so many negative blogs (let me say feedback's) on the blogs that I felt that alot of ppl weren't being understood about their struggles and obstacles. That total turned me off . I've missed you all and I used to enjoy being on here . I hope all are well and enjoying life.

So what have I been doing lots of stalls due to getting my monthly every 2 weeks and of course they told me it was because of the WL blah blah blah. I finally made an appt for the GYN bec this is insane. I'm a size 14-16 from a 20/22 L or XL depending on the clothes from a 3XL. I still see the old me which sucks bec everyone has said how much I've lost. I see it in pics but like I said not in real life. My biggest challenge is still my freakin stomach grrr. Other than that I finally fit on roller coaster omg I had such bad anxiety when I went to Six Flags and my husband was like "you got this babe" and sure enough I did . I just celebrated my 40th Birthday and had the pleasure to celebrate with one of our own OH sista's Traci (here4fun712) we are both July babies (see pics) we had a blast. I wear spaghetti straps with confidence which I would never dare in the past. So I am enjoying the ride until I stall. I miss u all once again I hope you are all doing well. Enough for now with my blabbing.
Hugs & Smooches

50lbs Gonnnneeee!
on June 29, 2012 6:42 am
Hello my BEAUTIFUL OH Family!

It has been a while since I have posted. To keep you up to date. I finally hit my 50lb goal I can't believe it (doing the Whop and Cabbage Patch dance). I have had many stalls which are depressing and I kept telling myself is this the furthest weight that I am going to lose? I see how great everyone is doing many Hugs to u all. I am suppose to go to Six Flags this weekend and I am excited but scared at the same time. 4 years ago I went for my bday and waited in line for 2hrs got on and the harness would not latch and in front of thousands I was told to get off embarrassed and full of tears I never went back. Since my belly is my problem it went down some but not alot. Dr's have said its because of my insulin intake but I pray Lord please let me fit. I have been so busy lately with work. Since my Supervisor quit I am trying out for the position let's see what happens after Monday. Back to my weight loss and eating some days I get full really fast and other days I can eat what gives? Let me stop blabbering love u all and have a great weekend.
Hugs

Now after surgery I get the bitch every 2 weeks either I spot or the flood gates are open. WHAT GIVES! sigh. I will be calling the NP tomorrow bec this is so FREAKIN ANNOYING.....sorry I just needed to SCREAM. Today I have freakin cramps.

Dear Eve,
When I catch your ass I am going to kick it, for not listening and being greedy and making us woman have to suffer. There must be a long line but I am patient and will wait. LOOK OUT EVE.

Smooches,
Carmen

My Story

This is the beginning of my new life. My story begins at the age of 13 years old, I was diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes and hit puberty all at the same time. My hormones where out of wack and I began to gain weight. Through out the years I have been mocked, made fun of by family and school. One of the worse is going to my Uncles house during the summer and before entering the pool the words he would shout out were “Watch out Shamo is going in the pool and all the water is going to come out”. For years this would affect me to wear a bathing suit go to pools, beaches or water parks. In school and in my neighborhood the issue was if I liked a boy one of my thin so called friends would steal them. Going out with friends men wouldn’t look at me they would go for my thin friends. I have tried many and I mean many diets and exercise and none worked. I have expressed how I hate the way I look for years. I gave up hope when no diet worked. I have heard several times “you shouldn’t have low self esteem and you should walk with your head up high”. “There are heavy woman who look great in their outfits.” I don’t feel great or pretty. Going out with friends I have stopped that since they have great bodies and any outfit they pick look great and I look like I am wearing a potato sack. I married my childhood sweetheart and have a beautiful 3 year old named Haileigh she is my everything.
