I have some on my arms, stomach and upper thighs but it is nothing compared to what i thought it would be. It has mostly bounced back. My biggest problem so far has been lack of energy. I don't get enough Protein so i am constantly tired. Also I bruise EXTREMELY easily. There are a hundred little problems but it is nothing compared to my fat problems.. if ya know what i mean. :)

No I dont think so. Maybe much later in life but right now i am pretty okay with it. Plus I don't have insurance so i paid out of pocket for my vsg. There is nothing left at all for plastic surgery

Do you by any chance have a recliner? I thought it was SO much easier to sleep there than the bed. Even the couch felt better to me than my bed because i could arrange the pillows to support me almost upright.

      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.
