Thank you for posting this! I cannot wait to have my surgery, it's in two days and now I've been going back and fourth with my decision, but I am more excited than anything to take this journey for myself! I cannot wait!!

Hello everyone! I came on here to get feedback on what to do before surgery and what to do after surgery. My surgery is only 3 days away! I am excited, scared, nervous, happy. It's like a rollercoaster! Lol! I've been heavy my whole life, so it's crazy to think of every door that will be opening for me! Being that I have always been heavy I never realized what I really looked like when I would gain a few pounds. Then people would take pictures and I would be like "that's not what I look like, something has to be wrong there!" All of my clothes start to slowly get bigger sizes and before you know it, my bum was getting too large to sit on theme park rides. I feel winded and exhausted when I go somewhere for a day with my husband. I'm only 25 and I have no energy!! That's pretty bad! I am overly ecstatic for my surgery, for the sleeve on 08/07! I feel that I have tried to prepare myself as much as I can, but any feedback for what I can expect would be much appreciated!

That's such a great way to look at it!! I can't wait to eat like the French! I am very excited about it! I wish you all the luck as well! Cannot wait to hear more about how you are progress!

Thank you so much for all the advice! I hope the same for you with your endeavor as well! It's gonna be an incredible journey!

I totally understand where you are coming from! I've been told that I'm not "that big" my whole life. People get comfortable with telling you certain things and it's kinda ridiculous! I hate having to go shopping with my friends and sitting to the side because they can get anything in the store but I'm too embarrassed to ask them to go to a store where I can actually try things on. I'm over people telling me that I have a really big butt( because it's the biggest part on my body) but saying, "that's a good thing!" People are cruel and do not know the affect it leaves on others. My surgery is next Tuesday and I am ready for it! I cannot wait!! It has been a long time coming! The whole process has taken a really long time but it has made me make sure this is what I want and that I will stay focused and accomplish what I need to for ME to be happy! I hope you are able to accomplish the same for yourself! I wish you the best of luck with all the insurance stuff and meeting with your surgeon!
