I keep trying every day- I can cross them sortof (5'9", 257) but it isn't the girly leg cross where the legs are right next to each other - the toe still points out. Looking forward to this NSV!

I'd say it was an 18, but not as comfortable as a 16, and now I am in some 14's and to sit that way is natural again. I'm with you, I was thrilled.

My new NSV was this morning, lying in bed, my DH told me "check that out, you can see your individual ribs". And I could I could feel each rib, and the separation between them!!!

Keep going, those legs will go where ya want 'em :) soon!!!

WOW, I can't wait until I can feel ribs!!!! I was excited at collar bones!

Just beginning to find pelvic bones, still a fair chunk of flesh on those puppies.. LOL

Glad this thread was bumped :)

This is on my top 10 list of why I wanted surgery. I've never in my life been able to cross my legs feminine-ly.

I was 26/28 starting this journay, I'm now 20/22 and I can now cross my left over my right (but not vise versa), and it all depends on the chair I'm in, not every chair I can do it. I can NOT wait till I can cross them without thinking about it!!

I have NEVER been able to cross my legs in my whole life! I was an obese child, so I was always chunky. I am an apple, but still my thighs won't cross.

I have no problem sitting indian style on the floor, but have never been able to cross sitting in a chair. I can't wait for that!!!! to me, being able to cross my legs is truly success!!!

OMG...I cannot cannot cannot WAIT for this NSV...I have always been comfortable Indian style (I don't think it's called that anymore...ooops.)...but I want to cross my legs like a lady...I might start wearing skirts again...I never do because my legs stay open while seated...

I hadn't even thought of this as a bonus...Something to look forward to.

Right now I am 6ft tall and 285...so I don't know if it will happen any time soon...but I hope so!

I just got banded, 1 week ago, and got a real laugh reading these messages. Also hopeful and encouraged. You made my night!

Thanks

Sadly, I have never been able to cross my legs a day in my life. I cannot imagine the job I would experience if I could do that. ;)

I have laughed right through this thread! I would LOVE to be able to do 2 things:

Cross my legs without having my fingers laced around my knee (trying to look cute, but knowing if I let go someone is going to lose an eye when my leg flings off!)

Be able to wear a skirt and pantyhose so that I can look cute crossing my legs without the friction burn I get from pantyhose and my thighs rubbing together!

I'm with you on this one. I can cross my legs but it gets tiring after a while.

Do you mean you could cross at the ankles or at the knee? Not at the knee like a man would do, but at the knee with the calf and foot pointing to the floor rather than a wall.

I am in a size 16 jeans right now and I can uncomfortably cross my legs at the knee, probably not for very long unless I kind of sit on my hip or something, does that make sense??

You know Julie, this kind of question just reminds me what thin people never even give a thought to.

Like summer heat and sweating in between the things, its like crossing legs, and bras cutting in.....but we know :rolleyes:

I take heart that it will soon be a thing of the past though :)

I think it really depends on a person's body shape. I have always had larger legs (when I was a child/teenager it was muscle - it is now fat - LOL). I could comfortably cross them at a size 16 - started at a size 24.

I agree with Leslie, it probably has more to do with body type than actual size. However, I'm currently in a 16 and I can cross them comfortably and sit like that for a while. I can't wait until I can actually hook that top leg behind the bottom leg when crossed. That's when I'll know I've arrived!! Ha!

I'm also enjoying feeling the bones in my wrists, jaw, and collar bones. It just makes me feel more feminine. It's the small things like these NSVs that make me happiest about loosing weight. Good luck to us all!!! :thumbup:

      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.
