Welcome to the family Tank! I'm a fellow 5' 9" and a fellow Californian. First two or three weeks after the surgery can be uncomfortable but it will indeed pass quickly. In no time it will be nothing but a distant memory and you'll be celebrating your decision every day! Kind of like child birth (from what I've been told)! LOL! Stop by often and share your journey with us! This is the most amazing group of folks you could ever hope for and every single one us is on the same journey!

Not necessarily a bad thing! Never did care for those "skinny" cheerleader-types. I always felt like they would break or something! Lol

Plus Tammy the Tank is kinda hot! Woulda sounded like a challenge. We all know men and women alike love a challenge!! Lol

Haha Tammy the tank! I wouldn't mind being called that now,, thanks

Welcome, Tank. It's gets easier as days good bye. I had my surgery on July 10th and I can just now sleep on my stomach. Just keep on walking and you will keep on healing, I'm walking 4 miles a day again, and I'm feeling great. May God Bless you on this long journey. Just remind yourself your on a liquid diet so of course your energy level is low:(

Thanks so much! Today I don't have much of an appetite for anything so I'm forcing myself to get some calories in.

      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.
