What's up, girl. I live in Pomona and Upland(mom and boyfriend's) I used to go to support meetings out in orange county, but found alot of those people are just in their little cliches so I stopped going. I'm totally down to hang out anytime! So you could email me at [email protected] or if you do myspace I'm listed as Lap Le. Just add me, girl! I go out every weekend but hang out in orange county. I need me some friends in the Inland Valley so I don't have to drive SO FAR! I like to do just about anything...movies, BBQ(MY FAVE!**** skating, rollerblading, bicycling, dancing, going to bars, reading books...pretty much down for whatever! But...I HATE FLAKERS, so if you're a flaker don't bother! (smiles)

thanks for all your sweet comments everyone! im actually now working on my own website so u can all see my story and before and after pics! when its up i will let u know. its so great that we can all share the WLS experience together and to know that we are all pioneers! its been well over a month since my ps and i am soo happy. i had very little pain practically none to speak of, it was just mainly uncomfortable/restlessness for a little while. my insurance company covered the bill for the hospital stay,anestisia, and operating room costs but did not cover my surgeons costs which is more and more common. i had to pay 8800 out of my own pocket but let me tell you it was well worth it. my scars are already fading, i have a flat tummy and tone thighs and even a cute little belly button! ive never been so happy about my body. sure i still have some loose skin under my arms and my boobs are a little saggy but ya know what? i am finally where i want to be and its all worth everything i went through when i was heavy. thanks for your support and i will be posting the address to my website soon! love always, alicia

Fantastic results, congratulations)

Yours progres is very good. Don't get so wrought-up))
