im 27 years old and i have surgery next week. i never knew finding someone to go with me and someone to watch my kids would be so difficult. ( 2 girls ages 3 and 7months ) im not nervous for the surgery, ive had many for other reasons. im more concerned about the after. the managing of my 7month old. or going back to work as a assistant manager of a fastfood chain. im 5'1 and my bed stands at 4'8 i worry about getting in and out of bed, will i miss a step or get in wrong. and then i worry most of all who will stay with me during the day until i can pick up my 19lb baby girl who is teething and ive always done baby wearing and i wont be able to. meh. i look forward to sharing my progress, and hopefully these nerves go down. walking 5miles is nothing to me now. riding a bike is easy. the liquids have been a peice of cake '( no pun intended )' i dont miss pizza or Pasta or bread. ive done fine without it.

Hi Marybell - My surgery is Dec. 6. I'm very excited for us both. I'm nervous about lifting things as well though I don't have any kids. My job requires it.

How often do you ride your bike? That is something I really want to do but I have to buy a bike first! Where did you get yours?

Good luck!

      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.
