I cannot wait until I have my surgery. This past weekend I took a vacation to visit my sister in Cali. It was a 4 hour plane ride from chicago. I could barely fit in the seat. I was so uncomfortable that I could cry. I had 2 different flight attendants ask if I needed a seat belt extender. I honestly felt bad for the people I was sitting next to because I could only imagine what they were thinking.... "Ugh, I have to sit near the fat girl." [emoji26]

Do I need surgery still? A reality check
Sprinkles1 replied to wjgo's topic in Pre-op Diets and Questions
If I were in your position, I'd know it was a trap. I've lost 60+ lbs before and felt wonderful! Told myself I'd never go back.... then I gained 80+ lbs within a year & a half. It's true... only you will know what's right but... don't be like me! I was supposed to start the WLS process in June but decided I'd try regular diet & exercise for the 100th time and I'm 20lbs heavier and officially starting the process. Do what's best for you of course... but remember that history has a tendency to repeat itself. So, if you fell in the cycle before... it's always a possibility it could happen again. ... or maybe it won't. -

Sprinkles1 replied to LINZ62383's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
That's super frustrating but.... you're almost done and ready to start the real journey! I wish I was as far as you right now... but I'm barely starting the process for WLS. You got this! -
Surgery Tomorrow 11/1

Hope you have a speedy recovery! Everything will go well! -
So far my only complaint is that I waited to long to start this process. Back in June I was thinking about how I wanted to do WLS and told some people who talked me out of it. So. MUCH. REGRET. It's okay, I'm sticking to it this time around.

Husband told people about surgery
Sprinkles1 replied to M.A.'s topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm super new to both this forum and to WLS in general. In fact, I just started the process! I have told a handful of people about it... but not too many because nothing is guaranteed yet. I haven't even had insurance approve anything. Once it's approved, I'll tell anyone who asks. I think you should give your husband the benefit of the doubt. I don't know about you but when I know a secret I tell my best friend. So, maybe he did tell his friends but... I tell my friends everything. Telling his boss probably wasn't the best thing to do but... talk to him about it, tell him how hurt you are and keep moving forward. This journey is about you!
