Vera, I had a hyst. 2.5 years ago my uterus was literally falling apart. My dr left my ovaries because I feel the same way you do, if they ain't broke leave them alone!!!

Life after surg is GREAT!!!! Sex was better, I felt better, I looked beter ( i had not realized how bad I did look) I was a much happier person all around. If you had c-sections you already know about the recovery. I had a hard time because they also did the bladder surg at the same time. 3 vaginal births kinda make you need that one.....

any way, I'll be thinking about you Wednesday. I hope you got to go sking!!!

Thanks again for all the well wishes….how much does a uterus weigh? I’ve had 2 C-sections, a colon removal/rectum reconstruction, gallbladder removal and 2 band surgeries also the tubing fix attempt. I've got a road map down south, what’s another scar.

I did all my pre-op testing yesterday and I’m all ready for tomorrow. Since I was at Good Sam Hospital I cruzed over to Dr. McKeen’s office and scheduled a fill for Aug. 1st, exactly 4 months since being re-banded. While I was there they let me jump on the “Real Scale” It read 177.1 lbs and BMI at 29.9...that just made my birthday the best! I haven’t weight 177 in 15 years!

Paula I didn’t get up on skis yet, that’s still a goal.

I’ll post when I get home…

      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. 🤞
