HELLO EVERYONE!!!! It may be cold and cloudy outside today here, but it is such a beautiful day for myself. I just got back from the Doctors office. Great visit as always but this time was the best visit ever.

First of all, I was informed today that at 155 pounds, I have reached my doctors goal weight. We set this weight goal 2 yrs. and 3 months ago. 2 years ago, I was 267 pounds with a BMI of 47.3. Today I am 155 pounds with a BMI of 27.5.

Second of all, I have made an appointment for a consultation to discuss a Tummy Tuck. I am so excited and proud of myself.

Only bad thing about today, I am on a liquid diet until tomorrow morning and I am getting hungry! But I will manage my way through the day.

Has anyone had a tummy tuck done yet? I'm sure someone out there reading this has had it done. I'm nervous about having it done, but it is something I want done so I will have to suck it up and get past the nerves.

I dont have the funds either. Luckily I was told today that they would if I have like rashes and sores and stuff. I have a constant rash above my pubic area from the sagging skin, I get yeast infections in my bellybutton from my muffin top and between my folds, i occasionally get sores. So my doctor thinks i should not have a problem getting approved.

Congratulations!!!

My friend had one done. She said the first 3 days were horrible but after that things improved every day. She said she definitely does not regret having it done and would do it again if needed.

She said the results are awesome!!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
