Charisma, you're such a beautiful lady, so talented and creative. You do not look over weight in your picture. However I can identify with the longing and need to lose weight around the mid section especially. I personally hope you are just swamped with quilts to longarm that you'll be able to afford the surgery here. I'm worried about your safety in Mexico and possible health risks to you. Please, Please be careful. I will be praying for you... that you will make the right choice that's meant just for you.
