There is nothing like trying on clothes that will remind you that you are fat!!! I needed to get a few dress pants...yeah lets just say it put a cramp in my day. In the dressing room i got really mad and was like " I can not wait to have this dang surgery" but I am trying not to let it ruin my day. I am going to try and not try on clothes again until after!

I know how you feel. But I will always be a "pear shape", bigger on bottom through my hips & thighs. Even though I have been losing, I still have my angry moments in the dressing rooms.

I know how you feel. I refuse to buy any new clothes until after the surgery!

Jess and sharie, just wait until AFTER surgery. You are constantly having to buy clothes. It is, however, a little more fun to buy smaller sizes each time. Prior to surgery, I was in a tight 26/28, so I dreaded trying things on. I was always worried that the biggest size wouldn't fit.:biggrin: I am also curvy, so I went from a right fit blue size 6T to a right fit blue size 1T. I started wearing the 1T about 9 months post op. It goes kind of quick, so put money aside to buy.

How long until your surgeries?

      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. 🤞

      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.
