Love this thread! I can't add anything....YET. I get sleeved on Sept 14th and I am beyond excited. But here are the can't waits for me:

1. I can't wait to stop shopping in the Plus Size Dept.

2. I can't wait to wear more form fitting clothes. I hate the loose fit that is supposed to hide my fat!

3. I can't wait to shop for a bathing suit....and like it!

4. I can't wait to wear dresses and show off a little leg!

5. I can't wait to wear tank tops in the summer!!!

6. I can't wait to wear boots...the ones that don't have the extended calf.

7. I can't wait to be able to run up and down the steps at work instead of taking the elevator.

8. I can't wait to get a new hair style...another phase of my complete makeover!

9. I can't wait to get off my blood pressure medications.

10. I can't wait to stop snoring....my husband will be forever grateful too!

And finally....

11. I can't wait to shop for sexy undies and show them off to my husband!

These are just a few of my favorite can't waits.... It's almost here!!!

After a bit less than seven months I have lost ... 43 kilos (95pounds) and reached my goal weight!

So yeah, my surgeon was quite amazed when he saw me last week for a check-up! I am pretty glad to be honest :) I even dared to go to the beach and actually be shirtless, this hadn't happen in years!

When you finally get rid of all the too big clothes cos in your mind you were still worried you would need them.... My yr is coming in November I finally took all of the way way too big clothes and gave them to a family that can fit them... And been trying to buy clothes that fit now.... it's a very humble amazing and beautiful experience.My weight came off faster then I ever expected... And the docs said I would only lose 80 pounds I think I far surpassed their and my own expectations.Not saying it was easy. It's still work..... ( def not the easy way out) But so very worth it to fit into clothes that to my eyes look tiny. Still gotta get my mind to catch up with what my eyes are seeing :) So proud of everyone here. And look at all the amazing things we have done.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
