You look fabulous! Love the muscle.

I am so happy for you. congrats!

I pretty much told everyone who works directly with me that my surgery is scheduled. I really feel like this is something I need to do. I am not apologetic or embarrased about needing help and why should I be? I am not going to do a Starr Jones. Yes it none of their business but if someone asks I will tell them. Of course I haven't had the surgery yet so maybe I will feel differently after. I am proud to have made the decision. Besides the people I work with for the most part have responded pretty positively. I am new to the forum so I just want to add that I am in no way glorifying my weight gain but I have to be able to forgive myself before I can make any progress. Real talk

Congratulations! Here's to a speedy and pain free recovery.

You look fabulous! Congrats on your loss.

Congratulations! Please let us know how you are doing.

Congrats, I can't wait to be on the losers bench.

They are also sold at the vitamin shoppe.

This post scares me since i am pre-op. I have been doing a ton of research and it appears common to regret the procedure. The posts are all over youtube. The feeling will pass and you will only regret not doing it sooner. I hope you feel better. Sending positive energy your way.

I thought of the same thing about getting my BMI up but decided it would be too uncomfortable. For my local BCBS doesn't approve the sleeve unless your BMI is 50. I am self paying because I am afraid to go to Mexico.

I wish I lived near you. I would pick you up and drop you off at home. It doesn't sound right to have to go through the surgery and not have his support. I think you should tell him to pick you up. You need to be accompanied for safety purposes. Maybe you could join a local support group. I am sure someone would be willing to take you home.

Congratulations on your sleeve! I can hardly wait until my turn.

Congrats, you almost on the other side. You got this.
