I am also getting a tattoo when I lose 100 lbs even though it's not my final goal.





I'm getting a full peacock wrapping around my calf in color. I'm going to start this summer. I'll be 5 months post-op.

I started a plastic surgery savings account last week. I'm putting money in it that I'm not spending on food. I'd also like to get my teeth fixed. Porcelain veneers. :-)

That's what I'm doing, I first started squirreling money away each payday in case the insurance wouldn't cover the procedure, luckily they did so now that goes over to the plastic surgery fund. A co-worker was able to get some work covered, ( I started at such a high weight, fingers crossed I can do the same.

My reward for hitting 230 is skydiving (haven't done it yet, but it's coming!). I've always said I'd get a tattoo when I hit 200, and I went ahead and paid for the art a few weeks ago. It should be done sometime next month. Really stoked, it'll be my first! It's Hebrew calligraphy for "set apart". It'll be on the back of my neck/spine. I've got 18 lbs to my final goal of 159. Maybe I'll reward myself with a thigh lift?

I would like to be able to afford some plastics after all is finished. I lost my job almost 2 yr ago. Working in a doctors office and was laid off due to a significant illness-was coded in the hospital and had renal and respiratory failure. Her reasoning was that I was too much of a risk. Anyway, I'm over all that (can't you tell)? No paycheck, no plastics.

I'm going to copy you on this! I think I'll end up needing a small tuck, and definitely will need a breast lift. I need it now and I'm pre-op. Going to tell my husband that I'm putting away money every month towards this. What a great idea!

      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. 🤞
