I'm 4 weeks post op from an extended TT, breast lift and Lipo. I'm starting to get a little mojo back but couldn't be more thrilled with my results. I don't think I've dared to wear a bikini since I was a toddler.

Starting weight 252 current weight 144 and 5' 1". VSG done December 2012. I'd like to see myself get to between 130-135lbs when all said and done.

I can't wait to get back to the gym so I can work on these cottage cheese thighs. It's the only thing I think needs some work yet. I sure miss my Zumba!!

This journey has been life changing. I'm so blessed to have the opportunity to focus on me!!

Me too! Not working out is driving me crazy. I love to exercise and it's my stress relief so not being able to do so is hard. I also can't start light exercise until 6 weeks. Every day I feel myself losing muscle tone but I know it will come back quickly.

You look wonderful!! And I agree, it is very important to focus on yourself. I can't wait to get back to the gym either, however I am 9 weeks post op from thighs and arms. Just taking my time and doing slow walking.

I hope you continue to recover beautifully.

Happy Healing:)

Had my 4 week checkup today. I asked PS when I could resume activity. He said go ahead you can have sex. I said no no that's not what I meant. What about walking and Water aerobics? Got the green light. Yeah!! A step towards being myself again. He said the exercise will help with some of the residual Fluid as well.

No follow up needed for another 4 weeks. At that time he will be checking my scars and be sure the tape is working. What a process!

I'm loving my new body! Each day it looks better and my tummy is flatter. Can't wait to get out and see some friends and wear some real clothes.

You look wonderful! I'm seriously thinking about a TT. I haven't been on these boards for probably a year but am back to get advice on plastics! I feel like I just need to be taken in about an inch at the seams all over!

Congrats on your weight loss and now fantastic make-over!

      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.
