I knew what to expect when I signed up for this, but I am still floored by the results I am seeing. My pharmacist commented on being able to see my neck for the first time, and my partner saw me in a dress I have had for awhile but commented on how good it looked on me today :)

It is just crazy that this is actually happening! I still lie in bed some nights wondering of it will ever happen for me and all of a sudden it hits me...I AM doing it already!!

I'm with you! I was angry before surgery about ppl telling me I look better after.....I felt like it was a back handed " you used to look like crap". I call my self a lifer fat chick. I liked me, its my son whom I needed to be healthier for. I am still a woman and I still have an ego. But I shall only trust my boys. My son checks my tummy every few days to judge my readyness for a bike. Lol

I get What your saying! It's crazy how fast I'm losing weight and how great I feel! Is this what I can look forward too? Being pain free and happy! So what we can't eat fast or that we have to chew for 5 minutes. PAIN FREE, happy and woooot we have necks!

I totally agree! My number one reason for doing this surgery was so I can properly take care if my daughter, she deserves so much better than I was able to give her before the surgery. Between fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome and the weight it just seemed like she was doomed because of my shortcomings!

I just can't believe I have been strong enough this far, between the restrictions, the pain and sacrifices I just can't help but feel I have earned this little slice of happiness for me and my little family (besides, we are VERY much looking forward to spending time together as an active family!!)

There are times I look at my clothes falling off of me and I can not believe it. I have had people say I look completly different and like a new me. The best thing is that my rhuematoid arthritis doc said my inflammation is the est she has seen it in years and I can start decreasing my prednisone dosage. I start playing soccer next week and I can tell my weight is down because it does not hurt to play.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
