It takes folks a while to get used to the new you. People, being the selfish, lazy slugs that they are, would rather do anything than adjust their thinking. So they attempt to adjust you regardless of how you feel or the improvement to your health.
Next time they offer their bologna ask them nicely, "How much over my doctor recommended weight would be good for you?"

Thank you susan... good luck and God bless

Hello everyone! I'm 32, 2 kiddos, military spouse, and will be sleeved on October 3. I start my 2 week liquid diet tomorrow and I'm super excited, but super nervous at the same time. Hubby doesn't want me to get this done, but still stands by me (I'm blessed to have such an awesome guy). My surgeon is Dr. Harnisch at BAMC at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. I'm ready to commit to this 2 week pre-op diet without hurting anyone. I hope to hear about everyones success stories as hopefully my future posts will be successful as well. Good luck everyone.

My husband isn't obese but now I want him to get the sleeve!

Cant wait until I'm able to look down and see ms kitty again...... It seems like nowadays I have to lift my stomach to catch a glance lol........

My surgeon knows how to do the single incision He told me that with the single incision he rarely puts in a drain, so more than likely I wont have a drain. I'm sure you will be fine and I'm also experiencing pre-surgery jitters.

Mine has been changed! I was October 24th now I got a call today and it is next Friday!!! So September 28th is my new date!

My husband has been very supportive so he was the first person to know that I was considering VSG. I told my mom who at the time seemed supportive, she in turn told my sister and I'm sure the whole family knows by now. I actually feel a huge relief because theres nothing to hide. I haven't really told anyone that I live around because it just never came up but if they ask me what I've done to lose the weight I will more than likely tell. I have made friends with others who are having wls and that's great because if we all go out to eat there wont be any pressure to finish our plate or order dessert.

So I have some large who ha's and wondering of there is anyway to get one incision. I didn't even think of that

My surgery date is Oct 3rd! I'm from west Monroe Louisiana

Hey my sexy husband you are going to do great!!!! I'll be right there with you every step of the way!

Getting Sleeved tomorrow @ 11am with Dr. Balette. Memorial Herman in The Woodlands Tx. Nervous but excited and can't wait to get back to work in a couple weeks. My coworkers at the chemical plant may not recognize me. My sexy Wife has her sleeve on the 26th. We are doing this together!

Skinnieminnie-I can't believe those people said that. I've also experienced the pain of words when it comes to my weight and it sucks so bad. My mom made a comment about my weight when I was about 17yrs old and it cut me to the core. People don't realize how hurtful words can be. I've been struggling with my weight for almost 10yrs. I'e cried on my husband shoulders many nights and I always hated being the fat wife in a group of friends. I'm really looking forward to this surgery also. I think my mom is a little jealous because she hasn't been texting me since I told her about me getting surgery and the one day that we did text she started unnecessary drama between me and my sister :/ I just know that I can't please everyone and I can no longer put my needs on the back burner

I also have tons of size 14s in my closet that I haven't worn in years lol. I'm currently a size 18. I'm looking forward to getting back into my skinny clothes and I'm praying even those will become big at some point. I would love to be a size 4/6.

Mine either! HA. I am excited by the possibles :ph34r:
at 16 days!

I'm nervous also lol but I'm just so ready to get it over with.
I'm wondering how much my sex life will change after the surgery, heck my husband can't keep his hands off of me now lol

I have 16 days! It is getting very real and very, very exciting!

Well it dos NOT get any easier as you age - as people like me will attest to. YES, you are pretty young but I'd rather see someone as young as you do this then subject themselves to decades of obesity. Had I known how miserable being fat was for 30+ years I would of JUMPED at the chance to do this at your age.
As Ugot2laff points out, you're a big girl now and this is YOUR decision. Weigh all the benefits and risks and make your decision.
