I have a fat girl chair at work. It's funny because I was asked if I needed more room. This is a $700.00 chair. Since losing 56 lbs I get teased about how big my chair is now. Just two mths ago I was spread out nicely in the chair, I'm never giving up my fat girl chair even when two of me can fit in it.
I don't know how much you have to lose but don't cover yourself up because even when you lose weight you will still have some part of your body you will want to hide. (extra skin on arms, thighs etc) I say let it all be free fat rolls and extra skin. I honestly prefer my rolls to the skin but I was in pain with the rolls so I can handle some skin without pain.
Don't worry too much about the camper,

Me too! I already see it on my thighs so it's making me workout even harder. The less skin the better. I've on lost 33lbs so I can't imagine when I've lost the 200lbs. But I'm happy and will deal with whatever comes my way.

I appreciate your post and about sex after surgery, which helps me as I am almost two months out from my surgery. So having to wait another 30 days will be worth the wait. I have a great spouse as he says he wants me to bee healthy and wants my body to heal properly. Oh, by the way your post was not inappropriate at all and I can say I have already started better flexibility in her body as i was able to bend and reach diffrent items unlike before.

Awesome!!!!

Thanks for the realist view of the first days after surgery. I am having mine on Tuesday and am glad to read what it may be like those first days. Thanks again for helping me mentally prepare. I hope you continue to get better and better. You're right it will be worth it! Liz

I was sleeved on the 17th. This is how I kept my focus. I thought about all the pain I have been in etc; this was my fuel. I don't think it's no way to prepare ourselves. Everyone responds differently. The worst part post-op for me was the nausea, vomiting, retching and gas pains. I felt horrible. Each day I feel a little better. You will survive! Keep your focus.

I think the trick is following all the rules, never cheating, and really have your psyche set before the surgery. The oddest thing did happen to me though because I was so anxious before surgery. I was great in the room, but the second they started wheeling me to the surgery room I started crying and didn't stop until they put me to sleep. I remember thinking "How could I have let food take over my life to the point of having to have surgery?" It was then I decided that food was no longer my master, the Lord God was and I would, from this day forward treat my body as He wanted me to. To all of those who have not yet been sleeved, please feel free to email me and I will answer your questions. I was an outpatient and it was fine (another concern of mine was why do insurance people get extra medical care and private pay people sent home).

Good Luck! Keep us posted!

Congrats!!!... Getting sleeved was one of the best decisions I've ever made!!!

Good luck
