lol I bet they are good looking. So, how soon after surgery did you start working out? I am really worried about excess skin. My insurance will cover it, but I really don't want to go that route.

Well I started like 10 days after surgery which was 11-17-11 walking 15 minutes treadmill mind you I can barely breath started slow.... I know I am worried too I am going toneed skin removed even though I was 223 I have had several pregnancys yoyo dieting and hysterectomy and so forth AUGHH but as you can see my arms with weights are doing pretty good I started light weight 2-3 weeks after surgery 10pds 15 psd but check with your Dr. thanks

Thank you for your help. I am in the same vote you were in starting at 224 and three pregnancys does not help my case and my arms are how yours use to be so I am inspired by your pcictures. Thanks again.

      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.
