It is nice to talk with you. I'm Heather and I had my sleeve + a hernia repair on 7/8, in NY. I am grateful that heath insurance that paid for it. My experiences so far have been: manageable pain, little to no real hunger, improvement in my energy and alertness and my skin clearing up (score!). It is strange feeling physically, emotionally, and socially. I am excited and look forward to reading more. I don't get to do pureed yet but this blog looks great. Heather

Hi everyone. I just had my surgery this last week, but I am anticipating dealing with the attention that comes from a large weight loss. I know there are people who really enjoy this part of the journey, but I am an introvert and this is the part I am seriously dreading. One of the things I feel/felt positive about being very overweight is the lack of attention I have gotten from other people. I am going to be working on this with my therapist, but I haven't seen a lot of information about it. Am I missing it? Am I a weirdo? I know when I have lost significant weight in the past, people comment on it, ask about it, etc. make a fuss in ways that I haven't experienced with other changes in my appearance. Any suggestions/resources would be very welcome. Heather

Thanks for all your helpful suggestions! "Running down the corridor" looking for my fat ass had me rolling with laughter, just imagining it. I am going to save that in my back pocket for Defcon 1 situations

Hi there! I am scheduled for July 8th. It seems both far away and close at the same time.
