Didnt mean to be rude

If you'll read other people's posts, you'll see she had major complications that most people don't have. Iggy Chic has been through so much! All of us on here are here for the same reason-for support & encouragement. I try to make sure that's what all my posts do.

Thurs 8/30: Sugery in Mexico (horrible night felt like I was going to die, threw up blood for hours after surgery)

Fri 8/31: Rested all day @ the Hotel Ticuan; walked around to get out the gas

Sat 9/1: Woke up feeling 100% better, up and out shopping, walking and getting my nails done in the streets of TJ

Sun 9/2: Taken back to San Diego, went to church, beach, & rented a car to drive to LA to visit family

Mon 9/3 (Labor Day): Flew back home to KS (car broke down in the HOT HOT heat had to walk to a gas station) Cleaned up the house and did all my laundry from the trip.

Tues 9/4: Went back to work, drove myself, no problems

Still tired and weak from lack of food/water...I'm trying to do better but I work 60 hrs a week and have 5 kids so forgetting to eat and drink some days.

Day58? Seriously? Are you just lazy?

Please remember to express your opinions and be respectful to others.

Thanks.

That was not nice. Jaggy chic has gone through more than most of us here.

I love it.... You not only embrace the fact that you are lazy (hehe) but you have a good spirit! Seriously....glad to see that all is going well. I am still afraid that complications will arise but laughter and the inspiration on this site is proof that we can get through anything. Sleeved on 10/26 and going to Vitamin Shoppe today. The biggest concern I have....none....it's cold out and I would rather sit here and watch TV under my blanket.

wtf? Shut up. Everyone heals and feels differently. No one should be made to feel guilty for taking longer than others.

I wasn't allowed to drive for two weeks. Day 8 my daughter took me to the mall, huge mistake. Igot weak lightheaded and almost passed out. And that was only 15 minutes after we got there! By day 14 I was able to get around much better but still had rough spots. Take it easy and have someone with you

I was sleeved on the 11th and drove on the 13th. I was allowed as long as I wasn't taking pain meds, and I wasn't. Didn't take any at all.

      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.
