I have this new small body body and am having trouble finding cute summer dresses to buy. I wear size 4 in pants but need smaller in dresses. Went shopping only to find very limited supply of size 2 dresses. And the ones I found were low cut of v neck, not flattering for my A cup.

Yup. I might taser you first. :D

@@rayanne, are your stats updated in your profile? I was just checking it out and it says you are pre-surgery, yet you have a surgery date and I was curious if your other stats were updated?

I'm sick and tire of being on my back (insert dirty joke here) ! When can I sleep on my stomach or side????

Two weeks post for me. You'll know when you are ready and your body will tell you when it's not! My wife made an embankment of pillows for me which allowed me to transition nicely.

I would love to unload on this topic with all my craziness, but I will keep it on www.deviantart.com instead.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I made a cloud of pillows after surgery, with my head a lot higher to counteract the acid, and I have gotten used to it. I still sleep with 4-6 pillows at 8 months, I like it :P

How about stinky running shoes? Trying on too many clothes because you have so many choices now and spending money you shouldn't? LOL.

I was told my face & neck look like Tales of the Crypt and that I needed to gain 30 pounds back.

To hell with them. I'd rather look like it than be dead in a crypt. I got a panni. I'm done with plastics. And done giving a damn about who thinks they have a right to an opinion about my weight or my looks

how rude some people can be! I'd try to think of some snappy comeback but they just don't deserve the energy that would take.RJ just keep on standing out in the sunshine... To hell with them!

      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. 🤞
