Well, I'd be out from my surgery by now, it was scheduled for today, but unfortunatly I had to cancel. Things are just too hectic in my life right now to try and recover from all that surgery. I am pretty disappointed, but I know that the right time will come. Meanwhile, I have called and scheduled a fill with aka Dr. Cutiepie (Dr. Gomez), cause I am sure over due for one. Maybe I can lose the last 20 lbs I have to lose. And I have got to get motivated and start working out, I feel drained all the time and need to energize myself. So send some encouragement my way. So, I guess maybe I can shoot for another date at the end of summer or in the fall sometime. My girls have been gone to Texas w/ my mom for two weeks, so I am really missing them, I'm so glad they come back this week. Well, I'll keep you guys posted regarding my new date.

That is to Bad Estela but that is good that you were the one to make the decision to wait. Hopefully the time will be right the next time you make the date. In the mean time like you say you can work on the last of you Lbs and get out and enjoy the summer with your girls.

Estela,

I talked to you a while back about your upcoming surgery, why did you cancel it??? I was so excited for you, but hey it gives you a chance to lose the rest of your weight and you'll be even lighter after your surgery!!

Estela, everything happens for a reason is how I see it..it will happen when the time is right.

I have to aks you a question though..the few Dr.s' I have spoken with about a TT have told me it is better to wait until you have reached goal weight and have been there for a few months.

Well, I spoke w/ my surgeon and he said that in reality, it is best to be at goal for a while, but that if I was really ready to do it, since I was so close to goal, we could go ahead and do it. I didn't start at too high of a bmi, so I am about 19lbs from goal weight. He said w/ the tt and the Lipo, I would probably lose 10-15 lbs, so that would put me so close to goal and then I would probably be motivated more to work out and stay at goal. I haven't lost anymore weight, but I have maintained the loss now for about 2 1/2 months, so who knows. Initially I said the tt would be my reward for getting to my goal, but because of work, I had to schedule for today, but I wasn't able to go. We are getting the plans ready to build our dream home and w/ crap at work and trying to sell some investment property it has been just crazy. I also decided I was tired of the carpet in the girl's bedrooms and because their gone went ahead and pulled all the carpet out, and the floor installer has been ill and the rooms are all pulled apart and there is furniture all over my house and oh well, its just crazy. But hey, this isn't a set back, just an opportunity for me to keep my promise of getting to my goal weight and rewarding myself w/ the plastic surgery. Thanks for the encouragement and the right time will be here soon enough. My husband thinks that if I want this as bad as I say, I need to just hop on the plane and go for it. He is on my good side this week, who knows, maybe I will, run off and do it. My boss knows and she told me I can take the time off, but I don't know. I'll keep you guys posted, thanks for responding to me.

        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!

      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
