In what ways did surgery change y'all life?

Well, I got a new healthier body, a better job, my 1st real relationship.

I used to be a complete introvert, I'm now an extroverted introvert. :-P

You would have never caught me on camera pre-surgery.

AND best of all, I'm no longer going to be "one of the first to go" when the Zombie Apocalypse happens. (Watch the movie Zombieland to get the reference.)

Well, I'm not too far out yet, only two months, but yesterday I attended my first yoga class! I couldn't get into all the positions due to my bad knees, but I'm proud of how well I kept up. I'm also exercising on my own at least an hour each day. None of this would have been possible not too long ago.

Also I have this bean bag chair that I was always afraid to sit on in fear I wouldn't be able to get up from it unassisted. But now I can!

I think "can" has become my new favorite word! ????

Awesome awesome awesome, I'm nervous and excited to see the changes that come Iv always been overweight so it would be strange for me. Did your guys surgery boost your confidence and I'm currently on anti anxiety and depressant pills did it help at all emotionally! And yes zombie land is one of my favs!?!

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

      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.
