Hi Maria, nice to meet you, I had surgery 21 months ago and I was just approved for my Tummy Tuck I am very happy but kind of nervousmy surgery will be on November 15th or the 30th they are not sure yet either way I am happy because I didn't have to way too long and I was approved right away.....I used to weigh 293 pounds but I believe that one time I hit 296, I have lost almost 160 pounds and I feel ok....it is difficult though because all the changes and adjustments that you have to do in my opinion they don't prepare you to the real thing which is AFTER THE SURGERY AND THE HONEYMOON STAGE.....well but every change is difficult right? I am Puerto Rican from Guayama a south-east city of Puerto Rico and have been living in Massachusetts for 13 years, I'm the youngest of 4 children. Now tell me about you and how you have changed since the surgery, how are you feeling? are you eating ok? does your family support you? Tell me I love to write ......oh and my surgery was on January 20th 2004. Hugss****Cely

Who have had the surgery or plan to have, I will like to chat and exchange experiences....Thanks....Celi

Hello I just want to wish anyone and every one a Jesus filled day...Cyndee

Hi Everyone, I haven't had the surgery yet, working on obtaining approval. I have 2 friend one with the lap band and the other had the RNY and I can also ask them questions. I hope to receive approval soon.

ok SO ,,, I NEED TO HIT THE CAPS LOCK KEY,, I do seriously think that there are more people like us out there... perhaps if we do something,,, we won't be so alone...
