Does anyone else get as excited as I do when I pull up this app and find someone has replied to our forum? I love you guys!!!! You have all had a part of my journey over the last year. I have an amazing husband, family and friends, but there are just things that you all understand that they don't! <br> Thank you for walking through this past year with me. Did I just say "year"? What???!!!! Next week will be my surgiversary. I am tearing up right now thinking of all that I have accomplished this past year. I can hardly wait to go see my surgeon. Never would have been excited about a dr visit before. Lol <br> Have a blessed day, my friends!

Yes very much so. I love what I have accomplished in a year (6/19/13) everyone's post on here i could relate too and its help me get through things. I been using fitness pal to log my walks and my bike rides, and i looked at the month and i was impressed with 138 miles walking with a few bike rides for the month, and i posted on Facebook that my goal was 200 miles in a month both walking/bike riding, 3 months past and i wasn't even close, so someone commented on it how was i doing on my goal, my reply was i think i raised the bar too high. Well this month i got in 202 miles in for the month, I'am so happy that i accomplished it. My prize was beside me patting myself on the back was i got my health back, at one time my heart refraction rate was less than 24%.. Its now 68%.. Im a tall person of 6'5 and always thought of my self on being tough but i cried with happiness after the test done from my cardiologist told me, i think he cried too after seeing me so happy with tears , for 10 yrs i lived thinking there was no hope, i came a long way from only able to walk 50yards. Now my Doctors support group batriatics Nurse said i been a big inspiration to everyone and they want me to come to the office the would like to ask me something and not to wait after our next support group meeting (once a month) I said would. I love everyone of you we mostly walk the same path in our life's struggle with weight. Things got better..... Life is good.. Peace

I am right there with you. scale is stuck at 137 or 138. I am in a size 6 or 8 and also have the skin issues on my tummy, but my arms are also REALLY bad and much more noticeable. Son starts college next year, surgery might need to be put off for a while!

I think we must be built alike! You are petite too right? I'm only 5'2". I am ok with my arms tho. It is my stomach that is ssd,sad,sad. I will likely hsve to wait but I'd love to do it this year.

Yep, I am also 5'2". I know my clinic recommends one year after you weight becomes stable - no gain or loss. I think next summer would be the soonest I would qualify. Plastic surgery and college tuition are not going to happen at the same time in our budget!

You made me chuckle, "my stomach is sad,sad,sad" too. I need a boob lift and a Tummy Tuck. I love you Juneies!!

Had my one year jabs done and my Iron is low. The supplements cause me to be horribly constipated. Anybody have any suggestions on how to boost iron a different way?

      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.
