Ahh yes the Minnesota section. Hello everyone. I'm from the northwest suburbs and was at Unity Hospital with Dr. Baker for my sleeve on August 29th. Not quite ready for the cold weather as I have been freezing lately (due to weight lost, so not a bad thing) Just going to have to layer up. Definitely looking like the cold weather is here.

I went to Unity too, but I had Dr. July. My surgery was Sept 16th. All is going well thus far. How is it going for you?

Stick some before pictures where you will see them...on the fridge, in your desk drawer, on the car visor. I just went to the gym today for the first time in 3 weeks. I've had a lot of stuff going on, but I could've/should've made a better effort. This week is my 6 month mark & I made a new side by side comparison pic over the weekend. Seeing that before once again was VERY motivating!

try dvd Zumba at home. you are in a rut, don't fall off the cliff, happens, it the holiday season, even happy people get depressed around the holidays, maybe you could do a random act of kindness for someone, then do one for yourself, and go to the gym. it is usually hi calorie snacking that contributes to low to no weight loss. plan ahead, have Snacks with you. set a goal, get there and let that be it's own reward. good luck

      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.
