I'm so excited! I had a NSV this morming when I zipped up my boots. I've always had to scrunch down my knee high boots so I could get them zipped up over my rather voluptuous calves but today . . . I zipped from ankle to knee in one smooth, unscrunched action! Yee Haw!

Oh WOW I am totally looking forward to that one. I have always had big calves, so that would be amazing. I've never been able to wear boots, and I am a Texas transplant so I WANT SOME. YAY for you!

I had a NSV like this and it was awesome!

Mine were old-school converse japanese knee highs...laced them very close together!

It feels sooooo good to be able to do things like that!

yay for you, for all of us!

That's one of the NSVs I'm waiting for. For YEARS I've wanted a pair of brown leather, heeled, knee boots. They had some really cute ones (not leather tho) at Avenue 2 years ago. I went in one day and they had my size on clearance for $9, down from like $85. When does that ever happen?!? I bought them and could only zip them about 1/3 over my calf. DAMMIT. I couldn't even pretend to zip them up all the way, not unless I wanted to lose a lot of skin in the process.

Before I got fat I used to love knee boots, wool skirts & cowl neck sweaters in the winter. Can't wait to wear such an outfit again.

Super congrats to you on your awesome NSV!

BKMama, I want pics when you do!!!'

I was so thrilled to be able to wear heels again, of any kind. I don't know where I'd wear knee high boots in Florida, but I seriously want a pair! :)

      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. 🤞

      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.
