Phoenix Countdown I love this!! She's going on one of my thighs hopefully for my birthday next month. Instead of a simple phoenix to signify rebirth and new life' date=' an actual woman. I'm so excited! =)) HW- 290, SW (4/8/13) - 270.6, CW - 187[/quote']

Very cool! I'm a wussy.... I don't think I could sit through a tattoo. Lol

I would get a tattoo of something that is special to you. I had my surgery on 9/9 and on November 1st I will be getting a tattoo of some poppies and 2 baby birds. I spent months trying to figure out what I wanted. I found an artist that is amazing and she was able to draw what I ebvisioned. You don't always have to have words. You will know what it means and why it is special. Good luck :-)

My favorite aunt has told me my whole life to "spread my wings" and live my life for me and I look at this step of getting the RNY as one of those HUGE steps. So I'm getting the words "Spread Your Wings" with the date of my surgery underneath

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
