wow! can't even tell you had anything done! How's the scar healing?

Looking good Butter. I know you're glad you can get back to exercising again.

I honestly never even look at the scar. It's below my underwear line.....it doesn't bother me whatsoever. The surgeon said it looks amazing for 2 months.

Congratulations, Butter, et al. I've read all the way through. I have a consult scheduled for 1/10. I wonder if any of you who've had TT noticed a benefit to lateral or medial thighs? Also, how much did TT help lift pubis area? How you all describe post op positioning and pain/discomfort reminds me a lot of my post op ventral hernia repair. I think I may not be a TT candidate because I have mesh in my lower abdomen. I'll know after 1/10.

Congrats on getting your consult scheduled. I personally don't think you'll see much change in the pub is area or the thighs from a TT. But from a LBL....definitely. But obviously a surgeon could answer that question much better than I could.

Thanks BTB for sharing your journey! I've lost 183 pounds and have about 15 more to go! I'm hoping to be thinking about plastics in about 9 to 12 months! Continued success to everyone!

      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.
