No Way....My Aunts, Uncles, Cousins all still live there. My husband and I have talked about moving back after my "baby" graduates high school..We'll see. I sure MISS it there!=)

Have you started on a Vitamin regimen? If so, what kind are you taking? I am so confused with the different ones people take. Just like Protein Shakes, etc. Have any advice? And when you start your pre-op diet. I have about 130lbs. I want to lose and I'm soooo excited to get this going. I have my nutrition class March 26. I'm sure I'll get all the info. I'm going to need. I just want to get a head start on my vitamins!

Vogue, awesome on your weight loss! My surgery isn't till April 18...:/ praying for a speedy recovery. Does your insurance pay for tummy tucks? My fear is sagging skin.

only with a 3 month history of skin problems post- loss of major weight.... Ive been to my PCP once already and been prescribed cream... yesterday I noticed irritation where my butt & thighs meet.... same type I was getting at my waistline ( bumps/rash/redness)....

Even if the insurance only pays for a panni, Im going to put the money up for the rest to get TT unless by some great miracle this apron leaves by July/August

      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.
