Hello everyone,

Welcome new members & congrats to old & new members on WLS. I had WLS May 30, 2012 I reach under weight goal. From 211 to currently 115.. I weight goal was 125 size 7 but I'm size 2 and small all over. I was excited to finally be slim but now I'm dealing with saggy skin. I was in a when should I have plastic surgery. I was determine to get plastic surgery August 2014. I was struggling so much to get money together & to top it off I have 3 kids. I came to a decision that I will have my surgery in August 2014 and I will 35,000 by then. I did all my calculation. My hubby who has never been in agreement with this will help me pay for my surgery. My mother who owe me money will start paying me in May. I'm excited extremely happy determine to have things my way.

Plans after surgery recovery is 6 weeks & since my daughter will be 17 at that time she will take care of me & her siblings. I will give her money to help her out in her savings. When I'm determine for something it turns out great.

Thanks for reading & it's not over you have to continue exercising & eating healthy to continue with weight lost. We didn't get fat over night so over night we won't slim down neither.

I'm sorry...I hate when docs don't encourage you! Mine said to expect 2-4 pounds a week so you're doing great by that standard, If it helps at al :/. Keep on keeping on and you'll get there!!!

Hey short stuff lmbo that's what they call me but your like my sister height. You must be part of my family. I reach goal weight of 125lbs around 4 months post up then at 6 months post up I reach 115lbs then recently I lost 2 more lbs leaving me at 113lbs. I need to go back to 125lbs since I don't have enough fat to have it transfer to my butt. Now I'm struggling to put on weight but I have till next year to gain before a body make over. I'm way under my doctor goal & I know he will be shock in July when he see me & I hope he can advice me on gaining a little weight since I really need plastic surgery but for now I'm happy with my success. I feel I did slim down quickly but I stall a lot 2 months 3 months but it all melted away. I'm all saggy skin & only have enough fat to fill up my deflated boobs lmbo

You are doing great as mention. I was in a hurry to slim down & for what lmbo like my mom says I don't have enough fat to roll up a pastelitos (that's empanada for Central American people)

      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.
