26 month Update VSG and Vegas WLSFA M&G ! why am I sad ?

[pegonomics]

Well done! Dont ever apologize for looking good!

Those negative people need to Get Over It and start working on themselves.

Thanks for all the info. Blessings and Good Health!

[MsEfish]

Hey Amy - miss seeing your Vids on YT and I really hope you are no longer sad over negative people. I simply choose not to be around negative and vindictive people. It works and I know from experience. Thanks for responding to me. Watched you again as you look great and I can tell you had a wonderful time too!!!!

[WLSFaith]

Watching your video again - cuz you look awesome! You look great and I am so proud of you for doing it - i hope I can do it too!! xoxo Thanks for being you!

[PatrinaStrippedBare]

Oh LORD AMY!...I will HATE to see what the folks think of me when I go next year cause I will be in spandex, leather, and bling from head to toe! And cleavage and booty to beat the band! Too bad so sad if you don't like it! I spent 20 years wearing tents and jersy, and I WILL NEVER WEAR WHAT I DON'T WANT TO AGAIN! I am 45 years old on Thursday, and I wear my clothes too tight, and too much makeup, and my hair is BURGUNDY! Don't like it...don't care. Keep on keeping on!!!!

[MsEfish]

Amy I have watched you for a long time. You glow inside and out with beauty. Please do not stop your Vids as you are a great role model and inspiration to others. You share so much knowledge that you learned through your hard work. I hope all the drama has stopped and the memory of your M&G will be great. Thanks for always being you.

[misskrs12]

your transfromation is AMAZING! you are an inspiration, and you look great! keep up the good work! :)

[misskrs12]

Did you have any lipo? If so, where?

[AmySDMOM]

@misskrs12 No lipo

[aivorymentoring]

You're hot! Me too!

[WLSFaith]

Craziness! You are a beauty and you inspire and motivate me every video!! I love you and thanks for showing off!! LOL!

[losingitwithrebecca]

AMEN! I love what you said @1:23. You worked your butt off! Literally! And why NOT show it off?! I plan on doing the same thing @ MG next year...I want to look good - ! I wasn't there but i saw pix and I thought you looked awesome. I cannot WAIT to meet you next year. love the flash mob dance and pictures. take care

[pampered65]

Sounds like you had a blast. I will be there next year. All I have to say about the drama is Don't hate the Player hate the game........You look great btw.

[LarryAndLibby]

I agree with you about being sad that you missed out on all the fun you could have had in your 20s. I feel the same way, I've wasted my youth because of my weight. Keep feeling good about your self!

[AmySDMOM]

@LarryAndLibby Just got to live like I am 20 now when I have time to do that. Lol

[PitaGirl83]

I was not at the meet and greet, I am still pre-op but am SO looking forward to going next year. BUT I have seen pics and videos of those who went and I would have to say that all of the ladies that were put on blast looked FABULOUS, yourself included. And let me tell you...I have spent my whole life hiding behind baggy clothing b/c I am overweight..so when the day comes that I can put on a little dress or WHATEVER makes me feel good you bet your ass I will. Congrats you inspire us all!!!

[skymoon1982]

Everything you said was absolutely right! Im with you all the way girl. Unfortunately, negativity comes with the territory now that we are thin. Its krazy to think we all had wls and still criticize people. Oh well, what can you do right?? Moving forward

On that note, your are a beautiful person inside and out and I enjoyed every minute we hung out. I really got to know you and will expect to see and meet u again!

[AmySDMOM]

@skymoon1982 Mel you are also a beautiful person inside and out. Sure will be hanging out next year in our sexxy cloths. I see that I got a hater Dislikeing my Video. What ever!!! hide haters Hide

[ANuMe1109]

Where is the "like" button for Wendy's comment =) Great vid.

[Barb62056]

Oops hit the wrong button! If other people don't get that...then it's too bad for them! You continue to encourage all of us by being you! Thanks!

[Barb62056]

Sounds like you had a great time and looked great! If other people didn't get that

[IamKris411]

Amy, you are beautiful... and successful, and you have every right to wear whatever you want, and whatever you feel comfortable in -- and whatever makes you feel great! You don't sound cocky or like you are putting yourself on a pedestal or anything like that. I'm happy to hear you had a wonderful time, and had fun seeing your picture! Please don't let anyone get to you -- they're probably jealous, or just want to find something to pick on someone else about because they're insecure. rock it! :)

[MrDerwin64]

What a great job you have done you worked hard for that body you have now. We are proud of you I say show it off because you look great!! :)

[mystrength1303]

GOod for you girl!! YOu ROCK that new body!!! You deserve it!! Dont worry about the haters out there!!! You motovate me!! And by the way you were in VEGAS!!! LIVE IT UP!

[juliarh]

I thought you looked fabulous! I was just explaining to my son that because you're 2 years out with the VSG, you've been the guide on this great journey for me -- and you continue to be! Besides sharing the same surgery, about the same starting weight, etc., we also share having the same disability in our kids -- so you've been more than an inspiration to me -- you are the "possible" -- thank you so much!  Big hugs! Julie

[cabernetqueen]

GIRL-- I was probably the oldest chica there! ( well hottie Yvonne is a wee bit older and she lets her freak flag fly all day all night!) You set a perfectly wonderful example of what is POSSIBLE! we all are! those who have given it all we got and strive to keep it real! it isn't about people feeling bad in comparison- it isn't about comparison at all!!!!! it is about mutual inspiration- and spurring each other on directly or indirectly---word and example...love you

[freshorangina]

Yes, yes yes yes YES!!! I totally agree. I generally think that the only reason someone would have to interpret things in such a negative way is because they are insecure and have a low opinion of themselves. Unfortunately that is something that shows up in a community that has been emotionally beat upon for much of their lives. I had a super fantastic time with you!! You looked absolutely beautiful! I soooo can't wait for next year to dress up lookin' fine and do it all again!

[rainsh01]

Amy!!!! I had such a great time with you! You look beautiful!! I will be in SD on June 4th and plan on having dinner with Wendy. You are more than welcom to join us! Hua-

[mydulcevita]

Amy you look wonderful and amazing and yes cant wait to be there too or closer to were u are at... and about others who cares your doing amazing...

[greenfrog775]

Great video Amy!! For the record I didn't think any one was dress "to" overdone it all fit their body styles and above more they all wore in confidence that was exciting in itself. You are amazing lots of love to you xoxoxo

[AmalCPhT]

I love your videos! You just tell it how it is and keep it real! I wasn't at the M&G but was one of the JustinTV viewers and you looked amazing! I can't wait until I can look pretty too! <3

[juandresmom]

ur video's are so encouraging to me. I think your are awesome!

[AmySDMOM]

@juandresmom Thank you ! My hope is to be encouraging to many.

[CandiisSweetEnough]

You were totally approachable! I thank you very much for being so open, and sweet! And also for being an inspiration!  It would be very disappointing to not see people's progress! Can't wait to see what you wear next year! LOL!

[AmySDMOM]

@CandiisSweetEnough Yes Next year we will take a new pic and you will be a hot post-op lady. Not saying your now Hot now but you will be hoter lol. Anytime I can help all you got to do is ask.
