Confused? LONG STORY SHORT:
My name is Jess! I had a daughter (Lilia) at age 18 w/ my high school sweetheart. We mutually split up & co-parent to this day. I met someone new, got married, had twin boys (Kyson & Kaden) and another son (Landen). He cheated, we split ways, & he’s not around much. After juggling life as a single mom of 4 for some time, I met Chris, he had 2 sons: Caden and Tommy, who eventually became my step sons. After Chris and I got married, we had our 7th child together, Addelyn. We’re one big, complicated, blended family & every second of our story is on CZcams, you can start from the beginning here: • 8 Weeks Pregnant!
FAQ: Yes, we’re done having kids.
FAQ: Names and ages of the kids: Caden (step son, born in 2009), Lilia (daughter, born in 2010), Tommy (step son, born in 2010), Kyson (son, born in 2012), Kaden (son, born in 2012), Landen (son, born in 2014), Addelyn (daughter, born in 2016)
FAQ: Who are the dads? Gabe (Lilia’s dad), Drake (Kyson, Kaden, and Landen bio dad), Chris (Caden, Tommy, Addelyn’s dad)
Chris’s reaction and helpfulness is something I’m here for super sweet he was so excited that you could see!!!!!!
I have to say, anyone who does LASIK, you are so brave. I am legit terrified for anyone to mess with my eyes.
The option became a solid no for me when I saw that they need to rub their finger along your number eye to make sure it’s fully numb. 😖😭🥴
@@annac9534 I do too but it’s the stories of botched lasik surgeries that freak me out. My husband has a blurry spot in one eye that never healed after lasik
I am same way but I will not have choice of not having eye surgeries with my eye cataracts or I will go blind. I don't even like doing eyedrops in my own eyes. I do wonder if I am subconsciously having fearful reactions from my eye operations for crossed eyes as toddler that I don't consciously remember had been done. Similar to my horror dentist visit where he had never gave me shot to prevent pain before he had drill my tooth because he was talking too much with other people that led to me having heart problem reaction from my fused heart valves on top of serious drilling tooth pain that left serious fear of dentistry for me afterwards. My hubby must be with me as emotional supporter and to make sure that I have someone who makes certainty that I do recieve pain relief shots before anything done to my teeth and to do penicillin before any tooth surgery to prevent heart reaction because of what happened to me previously. I am also leary of my future heart operation to fix my fused heart valves too. I am just fearful of any medical surgeries subconsciously and consciously it seems. 🙂🤔
Same i won’t even do eye drops lmao. Messing with my eyes scares me!
Yaa
Chris’s reaction when you said you could see everything but a bit blurry is precious. Hope you heal well👌
I’m so happy that your eye surgery went smoothly Jess. Chris is always so kind and caring when looking after you 💙 I just love the dynamics of your whole family! 💕
I got lasik 4 years ago after wearing glasses and contacts for almost 20 years... BEST decision I've ever made. ❤️
Did you see the whole thing happen?
@@giabocchino9892 yes, I was awake the whole time. It wasnt painful sense I had the numbing drops, the only thing that was uncomfortable is when they put the clamp thing on to keep your eyelids open. It was so quick... got it done at 9 in the morning, recovered at my moms and drove home myself later that night. Yes it was scary leading up to it but it all went so well for me that I have zero regrets.
How.much
I'm so happy you had the chance to do this! I hope your having a quick recovery! Sending prayers for you and your family ❤️
You are such a lucky girl. The way Chris looks at you, cares for you and adores you. Mr. Perfect vision and more. And his goofiness is awesome!
Jess, I am beyond excited that you are doing well !!!! Lilia, you are almost amazing on your cartwheel just remember to pull through your core and straighten your legs you are so close I believe in YOU
I’m so happy everything went well and I hope you have a healthy and speedy recovery ❤️❤️
I would like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH JESSICA!!!
As soon as you posted your results on facebook stories friday the 13th, I immediately looked on google maps to see if there was a Lasik place around my area and sure enough it was one 20 minutes away with good reviews. I made an appt for the 18th for my consultation. They had me sold with the price and payment plan.
I thought it was going to cost alot more. They scheduled me an appt for the next day, the 19th(yesterday). It was an amazing experience! No regrets! I went home and got a notification that you’ve posted this video and told myself, wow, This was meant to be. I have my follow-up appt today.
Thank You! Thank You!Thank You! Thank You!
You gave me the confidence to go through with it. I’ve been watching your videos since 2011 and your videos have helped me so much with life as a mom. We are close in age. I’ll be turning 30 in July.
(!!1992 Baby!!)You are an amazing person & an awesome influencer. I will NEVER stop watching your videos. Keep up the good work mama bear ❤️
I had corrective eye surgery 3 years ago and it was the BEST decision ever. So excited for you to experience the world through a different (clear) lens! 🖤
I need a daughter and friend like Lilia in my life! So much contagious energy!!!!! I had Lasik done back on 2015 - BEST decision ever!
Glad to see everything is going well with you and Kaden! I had to get my expander turned and since my mouth is so small it was honestly horrific for my mom to go through, glad to see he is a brave young boy! Goodluck to you both!!
Jessica, you are so strong! Thanks for sharing your journey with Lasik.
I absolutely LOVE how attentive Chris is!
I hate when I can’t find my “eyes (glasses)”..I would often tell my husband, I need my eyes “glasses” to find my glasses..so then he would help me! =) IYKYK, I’m 33 and been contemplating it for a few months now but will definitely be getting this done soon! ❤️
Happy to hear you got such great results! Thank you for doing a video on this!
Hey Jessica, you totally ROCK that look, my name is Lisa Long & I live in Las Vegas, Nev & I've been watching your videos from practically since Lilia was a year & a half old. I love watching you videos & you & the Fam bring me joy & happiness, all my love to everyone, Lisa Long
I did LASIK a few years ago, absolutely painless and so worth it. Your eyes feel like there is sand or an eyelash inside because your eyes are dry. You will want to keep them moisturized for now on. Your vision will continue to improve over the next 30 days.
I’m so happy for you, Jess! Here’s to new eyesight ❤
So happy you got the surgery! Chris you are a amazing caregiver!
Jess I’m so so so happy for you. Sadly I have a genetic eye disorder have had three cornea transplants that failed. I’m completely blind in left eye and low vision in right. I’m waiting to have my right eye removed. But I’m so happy they can help you and how awesome you can see it’s truly amazing. Sending you loads of love and congratulations love leisa Western Australia xx
Sending love x
My LASIK procedure was some of the best money I’ve ever spent! 😂 I had thought about it for 15-ish years, but just kept putting it on the back burner for various reasons. Finally did it a few months ago at the age of 36, and my only regret is not doing it sooner. It’s amazing to wake up and just be able to see without having to do anything special. I always *hated* wearing glasses. I didn’t mind contacts, especially pretty colored ones 😂, but it just created a few extra steps in getting ready and in going to bed every day that were annoying.
I was a little nervous going into the procedure…I mean, we’re talking about lasers reshaping your corneas. LOL. I was given an Ativan pill prior to the procedure, but they were running ahead of schedule that day, and took me back to the procedure room no more than 3 minutes after I took the Ativan, so it definitely didn’t even have a chance to begin kicking in until I was already on the ride home. But, the numbing drops that they use are amazing, and my doctor did a great job of explaining everything he was getting ready to do and what it would look/feel like (not gonna lie, it’s a little trippy 🤣), and he counted down during every step, so I knew how short of a time I was dealing with in each step. I think the entire procedure and eye exam afterward took less than 10 minutes, and even though my vision was blurry, I could already tell an immediate improvement. My eyes started feeling achy/scratchy on the way home, but I just took some Tylenol and Benadryl when I got home and took a nap. Woke up 2-ish hours later, and the eye discomfort was almost completely gone, and my vision was basically perfect. 😮🙌 Just had to deal with the typical issue when looking directly at lights for a few weeks, where it looks like there’s a slightly hazy halo effect. It wasn’t bothersome at all, just took a little getting used to. Have slightly better than 20/20 vision now, and actually see much better driving at night now than I could with contacts.
For anyone considering it, just do your research on the surgeon and surgical center you’re considering. My optometrist warned against some of the big “chain” LASIK centers, as he’s had several patients with complications from those. He recommended a local surgeon at a local eye surgery center - researched the surgeon and center, and they had lots of certifications, and had great ratings/reviews across all sources I could find.
I'm delighted for you. Seeing without specs is amazing.
I’ve been waiting for this vlog!!! 💕✨
Iam so glad your eye surgery went well.. pray for a speedy recovery for you.. Iam so happy for you Jess..
Congratulations on your Lasik Surgery! I felt the same way after my cataract surgery cuz they correct your vision! After my surgery I said I didn't know the sky was so blue, haha!! I have been in glasses/contacts for most my life and even though it was cataract surgery no more contacts and only reading glasses for up close and that I can deal with! You will love not having to deal with contacts anymore! Its amazing not to be blind anymore!! you will love it!! I bet you are loving it since your surgery was a week ago 😊
Cataract surgery is AMAZING ! I’m still legally blind due to a retina problem but not having the fog of a cataract is life changing . It’s like the world has color again 😊
I've had the surgery done before, but I'm going in for an enhancement next month. This was a great video to review to remind myself on what to expect! Thanks Jessica!
There’s no way I could do that. Your brave. I have say I recently found your channel and now I’m hooked. I think your a very loving mom and do awesome job. Love watching. Take care ❤
Hi Jess Fam hope u have a speedy recovery!
My prescription is/has been -3.75 for a couple years. It has changed progressively worse over the last 2 decades lol, so that's a big reason why I go to the eye doctor annually as well. HOPING that it stays that way so I can get lasik in the next year or two! I had to get special glasses to correct that my eyes don't line up perfectly when reading/focusing on things / they work harder than necessary. They have these little prisms in them to correct it, and it's made a world of difference for my daily headaches from eye strain. I'm hoping that issue won't matter when getting lasik done though. I'm literally not scared of anything BUT the fact that I'm awake during the surgery / have my eyes open. It was relieving to hear how it went for you. I hope Its just up and up from here! Woo! So happy for you!
Jessica, I have been here since 2017! The impact u made on me is incredible. U taught me how to be brave and tough things out! So happy for you and I laughed sp hard when Chris was like today is Friday the 13th like that helps so much! Love you guys
You did amazing Jess I love your family so much
“Moms off duty,” Jessica going straight back to being supermom after 4 hours😂😂😂
I’m so happy for you. I have bad vision and wear glasses since I was 18 months old. I went to inquire about getting lasik since I’m getting tired of always wearing glasses but unfortunately my sights too bad to be corrected:( but I’m so excited for you!💕
I'm blind in one eye, and I have needed to go to the eye doctor, months, years, yesterday, weeks ago and I'm so scared, jess I love you and I pray one of these days I can go get Lasix, I am so glad you can see that is totally awesome I am just so, so, so excited for you, about how much was it as I don't have any eye insurance, thank you for all your information. Love you
It’s typically $2k-$3k per eye to get LASIK done and since it is an elective surgery (just like plastic surgery), insurance wouldn’t cover it anyway. But a lot of places do offer payment plans as well.
@@sngray11 thank you Sarah, I'm going to have to wait until I get rich, lol, not sure when that will be, thanks again
That's awesome you can see now!!! Glad you finally went thru with it! :)
You rock the eyewear. Glad you had a successful surgery. You definitely have a great caregiver in Chris. He is such a caring guy.
Congratulations I’m so happy for you
my daughter-in-law had it done and she is so happy and glad she had it done
Have a good day
I remember I fell asleep with my contacts in one time. I woke up and thought a Miracle had happened ( it was at that point she knew she f**ked up 😂😂)
I decided then it was the right time for laser surgery and it was the best decision ever!
aye so proud of you jess! you were an absolute rockstar yet again and really just put a lime light on it being totally fine to be nervous and still feel beautiful later! very aspiring in my opinion haha! also 7 is my lucky number tooo!! girl we have soooo much in common hahah!
Aww Jess you are such a legend, I have extremely bad eyesight so if I got laser I would still need glasses but at a lower prescription, it would save me a lot of money and you’ve made it look easy as pie! Also I need to show my man this video and let him learn a thing or two from Chris, he’s a star, congrats on your new eyes xxxx
Just curious, what's your prescription?
Glad you had a successful surgery💕
so proud of you jess that's awesome
I hope you feel better! LUV U
That’s amazing. Thanks for sharing your journey
As a long time viewer and seeing your experiences with your ex, I am SO happy that you have such a loving and doting partner. I love seeing Chris being there for you and being so fussed for your well-being 🥰
Hope it went well, stay safe and healthy🥰💖
Hi Jess hope you are felling better!
I had corrective eye surgery a few years ago and it was life changing! My fiancé had Lasik done also. I was able to watch his surgery! It was so cool!
Bless you Jesss. Hope your recovery goes as planned.
Congrats dear!! All the very best
Never thought i'd be this early, ilysmmmm
I’m so happy for you!!! I wish i was able to get that surgery.
I’m so excited!! Mine is next week. My contacts gave me headaches. My glasses gave me headaches. I haven’t worn either the last month I wanted to save myself the headaches and get the full effect… however I’ve been dealing with vertigo and migraines because of the eye strain. I’m so happy you posted this video to give me a sneak peek. 8 days left for me!! They are giving me Xanax there and then Valium when I get home to knock me out for 10 hours is what they said.
Aw good luck with your procedure! I’ve needed glasses since I was 7 and I’m turning 33 next month, started wearing contacts when I was 12 and have always worn them since. After reading your comment I’m wondering if that’s why I constantly have headaches, possibly from my contacts? How did you figure out it was your contacts, did you just kind of guess and check lol cause my head hurts if I don’t put them in as soon as I wake up, then hurts after their in for a bit 😂I can’t winnn LOL
@@lindsays3435 Thank you. Actually I was in so much every day I went to my Dr and started getting botox for migraines. I was in so much pain all over my head, I couldn't tell where it was coming from, my jaw would hurt my eyebrows would hurt my scalp and neck and shoulders. SO when I got botox in all of those it made it so I only feel the pain in my eyes. I would notice after 3-5 hours of wearing contacts my eyes would just ache and I would feel relaxed once taking them out, sometimes my eye would hurt so much I couldnt wear them for a couple days but then my eyes would get tired faster. I totally feel ya, like no matter what I do I can't win. Just deciding what kind of pain I was going to deal with that day. I cried when Jess was looking around saying woah!! I can't even imagine what its going to be like to see so clearly without needing anything else.
@@PinkJG619 Aww oh my gosh it sounds like this is going to be such a relief for you once you get the procedure done!! You’ll have to check back in if you remember and let me know how everything went and how you’re feeling!! Sending you hugs and good vibes that everything gets better for you! I know it could be debilitating trying to get through the day and all you could think about is the pain you are in 🥺 good luck, I’m excited for you!!
@@lindsays3435 awe thank you! Do you have an IG? I will try and remember.
I love the way Lillia is asking you a question lying down holding her phone. Such a teenager already bless. My husband had his eyes layered too. Best decision he's made. He was always either losing his glasses or breaking them lol. Sitting on them generally! Lol Men!! 😍😍
Uuuum can that nurse come work at my doctor's office, she was SO cool. I love how she was so clear with the instructions & how she was like "keep the kids away from her, mom's on a break, go home & go to sleep don't set alarms let her sleep" it's all about the patient no question about it.
I’m so getting my eyes done. My biggest concern was my dog who has issues and I am the only person who can walk her. But seeing that you were able to “walk a dog” within the first 8 hours or so gives me hope
So glad ur surgery went so well for you ❤️😊
You look amazing glad your eye surgery went well.
Jess and Chris are couple goals ❤️
Glad all went well and you're on the mend + you can see clearly now! Dr. Maboudi actually has a little video here on CZcams for Griffin & Reed...
So happy for you♡♡
It was very lucky for you to not have any secondary effects. Lots of ppl take their lives because of the chronic pain that you can experience after getting LASIK, it is really scary.
Lasik is indeed a life changing surgery for the better or the worse, given everything comes out good then your vision is improved thus improving your quality of life; whereas if things go wrong (edited cause not everything has to go wrong for it to screw your life) your life takes a turn for the worse and the odds are pretty big on this one, so , I hope you were 100% conscious about this when taking this step and I'm really glad you did not encounter any complications whatsoever. Please anyone seeking to have this should 100% investigate A LOT on the subject and proceed with knowledge and caution.
Hi Jess I'm so happy for you
You will LOVE it!!
Hi Jess happy to hear that your eye Surgery went well hope you continue to feel ok Thinking of you your Children are a credit to you and Chris also your Mum aswell Take care Looking forward to watching more of your video From Sue with love xxxxxxxxxxxx
You're brave woman, I could never do that surgery... Feeling every second of the procedure, nope. But then again, I "reschedule" on dental appointments because my gag reflex tells me to :S
I promise you won’t feel anything . There is no pain whatsoever
One thing worth mentioning is that in order to qualify for lasik is that your vision has to stay constant for a few years. This means that if your eyes are -1.5 then they have to stay at -1.5 for at least two years in a row. That is an important factor. So that you don’t have to undergo this procedure multiple times! Healthcare professional here! Best of luck in recovery!
I got mine done in Oct and I wish I would of done it sooner. So happy with it, my doctor was amazing and didn't feel anything.
Chris - “I’m feeling nauseous” Jess- “not again Chris” 😂😂I’m glad he didn’t pass out for this one
You got this Jess
I had my LASIK in 2002. Best decision ever. I still see great in the mid 70’s.
If I could afford this would definitely do it. I can't see at all without my glasses. So happy for you.
Yup, my mom said 6 & 12 has followed me since birth. I was born on 6/12/95 @ 6:12pm and weighed 6lbs 12oz at birth. Also on my first birthday 6/12/96 we had the Olympic torch run past my little birthday party.
so glad the surgery went smoothly :)
Hi Jess love your videos
Talented kids just like the Mommy😍
I love Kaden blue shirt with the leaves on!❤😘
Congrats Jess!!!! 👀
I love Chris’s new truck
My husband has had two eye surgeries(in the same eye). One was a cornea transplant, which he was only under anesthesia for them to put the nerve blockers in then was awake for the rest of the surgery. However he woke up early and even though he couldn't feel them put the last nerve blocker in he had to watch it go in.
I had this 3months ago and I loved it I had results when I walked out the door, on the way home an hour away. The best life changing surgery I have ever had and I have had a bunch of surgeries. The Surgery was very uncomfortable it was pressure, they told me everything they was doing as well. I felt like when I took my loopy medicine I looked at the wall then the door opened so I have no idea if I passed out or what. lol, like I said if anyone can't afford it, I waited until I got my income tax booked and paid the day it hit my account. Next year when Income tax comes around, I can claim this on my taxes since I paid full price up front no payment plans. She said I will get back a ton of money so you get it back within a year so it pays off.
I was exactly the same the brightness and burning for those first few hours was intense , I’m 2 months post op now best thing I’ve ever done
Lilia your cart wheels are getting good!!!!!
Highly considering but just like you, I’m hesitant even though my husband done it years ago. We are located by Modesto and I’m thinking to check the place you got your lasik even though it’s a drive. My vision has been -3.00 both eyes for about 20 years now and I’m a really good candidate for it
I love yall sooo muchhhhh!!!!💖💖💖💖💖💖😍😍😘😘
I got lasik in September 2020. My Xanax meds didn't kick in because I was really anxious during it. But the worst part was the pressure from when they push on your eyes to cut the flap. Glad it went smoothly!
I felt like you when I had to have cataract surgery. This was strange for someone who had both knee's replaced at the same time. I think it's because it's your eyes. Best wishes to you.
I hope your eye feels better
Is it the same in the US where if you get it you have free flow up and fixing for lifetime or
This shows how different all places are or do things when you do the exact same thing. I got my eye surgery two years ago almost three and the first thing Jessica was wearing with the tape I didn’t have to wear them and the goggles that she was wearing to the kids celebration I only had to wear them at night but yes the sun was annoying it was a burning cessation
I got Lasik done 11 years ago, best decision ever
Hey! I have been going to Dr. Maboudi for YEARS!
My mom got lasik 5 years ago and she also found the lights and the “sandy” feeling the most annoying but no pain!
I want to get lasik so badly! How much did it cost? That’s the only thing stopping me from going to get it.
You be ok bit I will never see myself doing this I'm sticking to glasses hope you fill better
I was supposed to get Lasik on Thursday, I have to wait another week. My eye surgeon got Covid ugh 😩 I am happy. 🙏🏼 everything goes went well & 🙏🏼 for me
Watching your experience with LASIK makes me want to get the procedure done now! And Addie reminds me so much of myself when I was her age… I hated wearing clothes and would take my clothes off as soon as I got home from school! 😂
I got LASEK in 2017. Recovery was terrible, but I don't regret it for one second!
I have had glasses and contacts since about 3rd or 4th grade. I've always hated them. definitely looking more into Lasik
