Hey, this is Danny, Allie's husband. She made it through surgery today and we are at the hotel now. She is doing great, but in pain, taking lots of pics. She will post when she is up to it. Can hardly wait to unwrap her.

Thanks for the update, Danny. Think of you, Allie, and these next few weeks as you recover. It will all be worth it in the end. You were a beautiful woman the way you were...but...a little more icing on the cake can only make it better. Take care and you are in my prayers for a speedy, painless (ya, right) recovery.

hi everyone.. well, today is the first day I have been able to be conscious. I ended up getting a terrible uti which made everything else 100 times worse. Not being able to pee really just about killed me. I am doing much better and can actually get out of bed by myself, getting back in is another story. I am walking around and love what my body is looking like.. the bruises are pretty bad but I can see a great result. I will take pics when hubby gives me shower tonight. Here is a pic of me day of surgery, I was really swollen in this pic, I have lost 11 pounds since day of surgery. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! I also did get quite a bit taken out the night before surgery. I was puking up Water my lapband doc said my nerves were closing it. He took out 1cc and I actually had 1/2 of a grilled cheese, I haven't had a grilled cheese in 18 months lol..

xoxo

Allie,

Sorry to hear about the UTI. Glad it's getting better. Keep healing and resting. Your surgery pic you are so tiny. You've been in my prayers. Can't wait to see more pics.

I'm still pretty swollen but flat. Not sure what i'll have to wear to work next week if swelling doesn't go down more this week.

Hi Allie:

You've been through a rough time so far. I hope you continue to feel better. Remember, rest and relax helps with the swelling. Another thing, be careful about losing too much while you're recuperating. You need good nutrition to help with the healing.

Your pic is fabulous. Can't wait to see updates.

Take care.

Sue

      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. 🤞
