I'm only 18 and weight about 285 . I have 2 sons one is 1 the other is 2 and they are 11months apart! Ya tell me about it lol! But before my first child I weigh 157 and felt great ,but now I can't even get out of bed I struggle to do everything even my sex life with my husband sucks . I just want to make sure I'm here for a long time for my ill boys and I can't wait for my husband to see the new me I'm going thru the nix lap and hospital with dr.wright in San Antonio tx and tomorrow I go to my first visit to start my 6 month diet which my insurance requires so I guess I will be have my surgery in the end of June I can't wait to start and get to the old me I know it will be worth while.

Good luck with your journey, I myself am a mother of two (9&2) and I can't run around with the two year old like I used to with the nine year old! I commend you for taking the steps needed in order to give yourself and your family a better longer healthier life!

      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.

      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.
