Hey Jody,

Sounds great!!! Have fun shopping!!! I've been told that I really need to "chill" or I could cause myself problems with my incision and healing. I brought several movies and books with me, so I'll try my best. Therefore it's up to you to keep the economy going for the next few days :wub::tongue::tt1:

I'll call you when I can and big hugs to you too!!!

Have a great day everyone!!!

Hi everyone,

I just got off the phone with Frangi. Of course you know she is doing wonderfully!! She said this one is more painful than the last but she sounded terrific! She went into surgery at about 9AM and woke up in recovery at 3PM. It took a bit longer than estimated but I am sure the results will be well worth it!!

I will keep everyone updated the MINUTE I hear from her in a day or two.

Thank goodness she is alright. Didn't really want to hear that the pain was worse though!

You know Frangi though, she said the pain was worse but still sounded wonderful!! The woman truly amazes me. :w00t:

Becky: hair is very cute. I especially like the color and you, fringe (bangs) are very in this year!

Okay, I'm stuck on the pain thing. I can't remember, if Frangi had muscle repair with her TT. Does anyone know? Cause, I'm hear to tell you that that was extreme pain! My ps is not ordering a pain pump for me this next go around, because it won't involve muscle. I hope the pain meds are good!

On another subject; I got a new hair do - less blonde and more bangs. What do you think?

Hi Becky -

Personally....I love the way your hair looks!:cursing: It truly enhances how "thin" your face really is.:w00t: It is wonderful!! I also just got a new cut and color. It is a good time for change!!:cool2:

Karey - Frangi told me that the morphine is helping but never mentioned a drip. If you want to give me specifics I can ask her when she calls again. She justs sounds terrific!!

Please pass on my best wishes to Frangi as well.

Karey - I had minimal muscle repair and had almost NO pain. My PS said the pain from the TT is mostly caused from muscle repair. She said with out the MR a TT is one of the least painful surgeries and I would agree. My lapband surgery was much more painful than my TT.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
