Before my surgery I would wear whatever fit and was comfortable. Now I am having fun trying on things for the first time in a long time. Like you, I don't want to buy a whole lot now, but you do have to have something to wear now, right? I have been having fun going to consignment shops and thrift shops. I have gotten some really cute things and havent had to pay alot for them.

buy long shirts that have some kind of belt or tie at the waist. Depending on your shape the belt can be placed at your waist or slightly higher up.

My suggestion for a coat would be a nice form fitting blazer. You can typically buy good quality ones on clearance real cheap. As you shrink in size you can always have them altered to "refit" you.

Also, for all you ladies and gents, instead of getting rid of your clothes as soon as they are too big, please consider having them altered. It is relatively less expensive than buy new. Or if you are handy take out your sewing machine an try doing it yourself. Shirts and t-shirts can simply be "fixed" by adding a few darts (gathered and sewn flat) on the front and/or back.

      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.
