I hopped off the plane at L.A.X.

With a dream and my cardigan

Welcome to the land of fame excess,

Am I gonna fit in?

Jumped in the cab

Here I am for the first time

Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy

Everybody seems so famous

Hi all. Enjoying my visit/mini vaca. The weather is like Summer. Such a tease to an Ohioan. My stomach has been taken over by a colony of butterflies!!!

Heading to San Diego on Saturday morning for some adventuring and then headed to Mx on Sunday.

My emotions are warring inside me back and forth between "Hooray" and "WTF am I doing?!?! :-/

You will enjoy San Diego! LA is so crowded for me! To many people. If you need anything while in Diego hit me up! Soon you will be sleeved! Good luck

Amanda I am SO excited for you. I love reading your posts and am so happy for you that your turn is finally here!!! You'll be in my thoughts during your trip!!

I grew up in San Diego and spend about a week a month or so there still, so I happen to agree that San Diego is better than LA! lol Love LA, but San Diego is definitely less crowded and just covered in beautiful views!! Enjoy your visit. If I was there now I'd force you to meet up!! ;)

Best wishes for an easy and successful surgery!!!

Thank you everyone for the support and encouragement. San Diego bound in a few hours. I hope the weather keeps up this amazingly beautiful trend we've had so far. I'm very overwhelmed. No doubt, huh? More scenic pics.

      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.

      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.
