I finally got to meet my surgeon a couple days ago and found that he is a very nice guy yet VERY forward and blunt about things. Overall I feel comfortable with him and am very excited!

Heyllo Everyone!
         How is everyone tonight! WOW! Its been a long time since I have been on here! Alot has changed in my life...I now am 24 years old been married almost 2 years and have the MOST BEAUTIFUL 10 month old daughter! I couldnt be happier.

 Although there has been some down falls with my weight...when I was pregnant with my daughter I gained 10lbs was diagnosed with gestational diabetes and wasnt doing so well. Now I have gained some more weight back and its really REALLY scareing me! I have to admit I havent been eating the best and I know thats something I need to change QUICK!!!! Or I am going to be back to where I was before surgery! 

I would really like some advice or to talk to someone who is going through what I am going through! I feel like I am alone and I am really REALLY DISGUSTED with myself! 

Has anyone considered a revision or done a revision with Dr.Garcia in Fargo and what all had to be done for that? 

THanks so much everyone.!

Well, hello everyone. How are you all on this wonderful night. I am sorry I havent posted earlier but, here I am. I had my surgery on Oct 22nd and everything went WONDERFUL better than I could have expected. On Oct 22nd I got up around 6 or 7 am and went to the hospital with my mom, dad and my lover. Then I sat in a waiting room for about 20 mins and finally got called back to the room where took my vitals and had me get dressed into a gown. Then came the IV something I have never had done before and boy was it a breeze they give u numbing solution and you cant feel a thing. After the IV I laid in the bed waiting for my family to come in the room to see me before the surgery. Once they came in I noticed that my grandma was there to which was a good surprise becuase, I needed her there. (*I was scared at this point*) Anyways, once my family came in the anesisiologist (SP) came in and he was the funniest guy ever he joked around alot and put me at ease. And so did the *calming down* medicine. As we waited there for about 1/2 hr or less I got called up to go to the operating room. The lady that came to take me up to the room was actually a lady I used to work with at LaneBryant so that was kinda neat. Anyways....after I left the room I was in we went up to the operating room it was soooo cold!!!! I was scared but as soon as I layed down I remember them telling me to count to 4 about 2 times and then I dont remember a thing. I remember waking up in the recovery room for just a little bit but, then all I remember was waking up in my room. It was a nice big room and my family was all there. It was a nice awakening. I ended up staying there for 3 days and I finally got to go home. The first night went good. The second night I ended up with a fever hence why I had to stay the third night just to make sure I was ok and didnt get a fever again. The hospital was great besides having to get up and walk around my floor but, thats what I had to do to get better so I did it. I got lots of beautiful flowers and gifts from my family and it was wonderful. Today is actually my 12th day out and I feel wonderful still learning what I can eat and not to gulp my water. Boy does that HURT and makes me want to throw up. Well, I better get going and do some laundry hope you all are well, and I will try to keep posting!

HELLO.......
on September 12, 2008 3:08 pm

Hello Everyone, Hope everyone is doing good. Well, my wednesday night was a crazy one hence to say that I got a little to drunk and I smoked a pack of cigarettes but, I am staying away well trying to atleast. Its so freaking hard to quit and I am struggling everyday but, I would rather live 7 mins more of my life than take one drag from a nasty cigarette. Anyways....whats new with everyone? School is going wonderfully like always. I dunno if I told you all what I am going to be going for but, its a vet tech I love animals and hopefully thats what I will become. Schools good but, I am in a funk right now. I really just want to work instead of going but, I know that if I want to reach my goal at becoming a vet tech I cant skip out. Well, I better get going hope all is well and I will talk to you all soon! Lator Gatorz!

HELLO EVERYONE~!

Well, hello everyone. How is everyone this fine night? Good I hope! Well, I got my approval letter in the mail a couple weeks ago and I am so excited yet extremely scared for what life is gonna bring with the changes and all. My surgery date is Oct. 22 2008 and I cant belive its that close. I kinda have a huge dillema tho. My 21st b-day is February 17th 2008. 4 months after my surgery date and I am planning on going to vegas. My dilemma is: Do I wait and go to vegas like I am and drink for my 21st or do I go threw with the surgery not drink and be a few pounds lighter? If anyone has any advice I would surely appreciate it! Well, better get going. Talk to you all soon!!!

My Story

Well, hello everyone! My name is Ashlie and I am from Fargo, ND. I am 19 years old and living with ~*~The Man of My Dreams......James~*~. We have been together for 2 years now and I know we are going to get married!!! Alittle bit about myself, well I have been pretty much over weight all my life. Threw elementary school all the way up to about 11th grade I was made fun of as the "Big Girl". Yet when 12th grade came I got fed up and I told everyone where to go. I know "why did it take you so long?" Well, because I knew that after 12th grade I would NEVER EVER have to see them people again so I didnt care what I said and I made sure that the harrasing stopped. I am the oldest in my family and my little brother is 15 his name is *Eric*! I love my little bro he can be an nerd sumtimes but, I love him so much! Whenever I look down and say something about my weight and myself hes like "NO YOUR NOT!!" (as in fat). Hes the greatest little brother that anyone could EVER HAVE and I dunno what I would do without him! I just cant beleive he already has his licencse it just seems like yesterday that I was carrying him in an blanket!!! Lets see what els.....Oh! Well, I havent been accepted yet becuse, of the fact that I need to finish my paper work and get everything sent in. Its just taking me an LONG time becuase, its like I work 24/7 and well I cant deny that I am REALLY SCARED! Well, if you have any questions dont hesitate to ask........
