I have been wanting surgery after I finished breastfeeding my son, but my BMI is too high, so WLS will help with that! My boobs are already empty and sad lol I breastfed two children for 16m each and they never recovered 😭 so I’m hoping the little I do have just stay put till I get surgery -
I am the exact say way, I am trying to learn to be happy with what I achieve in the now and not keep looking forward to what's next..its been a struggle my whole life

YEP!! I graduate with my business degree this summer. I am terrified about finally finishing school and not having that a part of my identity anymore. Getting a new job in my new body. Will it bring more harm than good to my relationship? What will my kids think? I should be excited but I honestly panicking.

I have Kaiser and when I talked to the nurse who booked my appt, she told me that with the sleeve I get to home same day, but the bypass you have to stay the night. Anyone got to go home same day?

okay! I was definitely going to take 2weeks off, however I was kinda thinking of extending for 4 weeks. I am in school, work full time and have 3 kids. So I feel like I may need to get a handle on everything along with the new way of eating and how tired I may be?

I'M TERRIFIED AND NEED GUIDANCE
AmberFL replied to Vanessa Correal's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Absolutely!! my inbox is always open! Surgery is scary, I am nervous and I overthink EVERYTHING in my life. Changing the habits is so hard- don't listen to people who say you don't need it or your doing it for the wrong reasons. You know your reasons and you stick to those! ❤️ -
