Dawn - now that is a bit nuts. She must be young!

CG - first, I love the baggy too! Nice to have some clothes that actually are now! And I think MN has it way worse than we do. I'm a wuss about the cold weather too but not enough to move I guess. I just sit here and complain about it. :-)

79 below!!! That's arctic! 30-40 below is as cold as I can remember around here. And dry doesn't begin to describe it! I am slathering on so much lotion right now so I don't end up resembling a really big alligator bag! :-). The seasons are pretty though and all my family is here too. Besides, we may get heat and freezing temps but non other natural disasters like mud slides, hurricanes, etc. I just feel like I'm in a pretty safe spot.

A girlfriend on mine who ironically lives in MN also loves heat and sun. She can sit in the sun when its 104 outside and not even break a sweat. She also loves to sleep. She said she thinks she was a cat in a previous life since all they Sonia sleep in the sun all day!

      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.
