Wow...that is amazing!! What different levels did he receive!!

I don't remember the details Diva. It's been about 9 years since he had the first round. They did some sort of stomach surgery. Then they did the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. Back then doing the surgery on someone that large was experimental. He went through Penn and they consulted with several other surgeons who refused to operate on him at all.

I didn't get anything like that and I think that it would have been a great help for either the myomectomy or my hysterectomy. It's been 3 yrs & I'm a bit of a disaster in that area.

Here's Blue Ivy! She looks like she'll have Jayz's nose and mouth to me. More photos at link.

she's cute now, but she looks to have jay-z's whole face. eyes, nose, and lips.

No the child definitely looks like a Knowles. She looks just like Solange's son.

I can't find the best picture of him but here's a visual

^ They do look similar. He has the same longish gap between his nose and mouth.

**sluce** · February 10th, 2012, 06:33 PM

Her lips are all Jay-z. Nice full mouth.

**Lenny** · February 10th, 2012, 08:32 PM

She looks like a little adult and not like a newborn at all.

On another note Solange looks really pretty in that pic.

blue ivy is super cute. i love all of that hair.

Baby is surprisingly cute but I agree she looks kind of like an adult. Her features are really defined for a baby. I think she has beyonce's eyes but the rest is gonna be all Joe Camel.

she doesn't have that 'awww what a cutie pie' baby cuteness. She looks like a miniature adult.

I feel like that picture was photoshopped. If you click the link and see the other pictures, she looks more like a normal baby.

It's creepy how miniature-adult she looks. Aren't babies this age usually just blobs with features that aren't quite defined yet?

I see Beyonce's eyes and Jay-Z from the nose on down. No mistaking it's their kid.
