I'm addicted to crossing my legs at the knee. It amazes me that I can do it, that I can do it comfortably, and that I can touch my calves together when my legs are crossed. I find myself constantly crossing my legs. Even under my desk at work!

LOL. I haven't seen much of my collar bones yet.

I like to lay in bed and pinch my belly roll and visulalize how much closer together my fingertips are getting. NurseAmys tummy photos are really inspiring me. I also like to touch my port as a reminder that it is working quietly at its job. I ask other people if they want to touch it, too. OMG.

LMAO!!! OMG Foofy, I was so glad to read your post, I am always asking someone if they want to feel my port....its great to know I am not the only one.

Heehee. The responses from various people are pretty interesting when I ask them if they want to feel it. I keep forgetting that it crosses into personal space issues for a lot of people. Ah well, I love to do it and it educates the masses....

Shoeaddict - you are almost in Onederland!! Yay!! I am jealous.

      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.
