I get the plus size catalogs still, and get great pleasure out of throwing them in the trash!! The funny thing to me is that the models in the catalogs are not even close to plus sized, so where do they get their clothes??? LOL!!!

Congratulations!

You are about to find out that there's 4 times the amount of stuff in the misses department. Shopping takes much longer, when there's a lot to try on. It's a sacrifice, but I'm sure you'll manage somehow!

Now, go spend some money...

Amen sister, I had to move over from the big "W" recenlty, wow it takes a long time to shop now.

A funny aside. My DD ws about 7 at the time, she has wide feet so she knew her shoe size had a w with it or don't even ask me for them. Anyway, she was with me shopping and I found something I liked but couldn't find it in my size, well, she found one and she says, "look I found a 24 wide" So I tell her it stands for "womens sizes" however I get where she was coming from and my butt is wide--thanks to my band it is not as wide!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
