Wish I could see what I imagine is a giant smile on your face! What's your weight loss 6 weeks out? Are you feeling good? How long were you out of work or had lifting restrictions? I have a year old and that's my biggest worry is not being able to pick him up for so long.

thnx!! I will start taking better pics...I just never noticed until I did the side by side! I am pretty bottom heavy....so i am waiting to lose some "thigh weight"

tomorrow is my 6 week visit . I should be cleared to work on Monday I have a desk job so I could have went back weeks ago.

I felt pretty good right away. I think I did too much too soon. I was doing laundry and vacuuming a week out.

thanks for commenting....being a loser has never felt so good!

CONGRATULATIONS!! Your post gives me so much hope!! I do have a question. In your first post, you mentioned having an abdominal band with you at the hospital. Do you mind sharing more information about that? My doc called tonight to let me know he had an opening on 5/31 so that is now my surgery date and I just want to make sure I have everything in place with it being only a few short weeks away. Thank you in advance and again, CONGRATULATIONS!!

      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.

      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.
