OH Juli's Plastic Surgery



Recommended Posts

Excellent news Juli (well except the paying part! Lol!)

My surgeon said I could start exercising slowly from 2 weeks post op too, building up to my normal regime by 6 weeks post op. And yeah, no more crunches for me ever again, he reckons!

Not long now for us! I'm super excited! I keep wobbling my jelly belly and saying to my DH, you better take one long last look, it's going to be gone soon!

I'll be happy to have my belly G O N E forever.

He said I'll be tiny.

I'm going to go to sleep with those words in my head.

Juli, I'm getting so excited for you! I think I would have died if my doctor said the word "tiny". You must be thrilled.

Me, I'm getting excited, but nervous more than anything. Keep us updated.

Well I'm 10 days away from surgery.

Today I finish my last assignment for school. I present with my team on line this evening. I started back for my undergraduate degree in 2005 and continued on to get my MBA. It's nearly, just hours away, completed!!!!

Then I fly to Las Vegas tomorrow morning for a long weekend to Celebrate.

I'll work a week, get my scrips filled, buy pillows, clean the house etc. then have surgery. SURGERY!!!

I'm so stoked. I'm not scared yet. I suppose that will come in time.

Woot!!!

Juli,

Today is my last day at work, and tomorrow I'm packing my hospital bags and cooking up some meals to freeze for DH and my sons. Thursday, as you know, I'll be going in for surgery (and coz I'm in Australia, it'll still be Wed night for you when they start working on me!)

If I don't get to speak to you again between now and when your turn comes, please know I'll be thinking of you on the 6th of April, and sending lots of good wishes your way.

Good luck, matey! You're going to look absolutely WONDERFUL!

      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.
