  1. I agree with the huge boobs thing. I wont miss not being able to sleep on my back cuz my huge boobs suffocate me. To not have to buy braws every six months because my heavy boobs and wide back wear them out. Oh does damn shirt buttons. I wont miss the gap i get when i wear a button up shirt. I wont miss looking like a potato sack tied by the middle. I wont miss the painful marks jeans leave on my waist because they are to tight when i sit. I wont miss the muffin top or the back rolls
  2. These are the buggies sizes i dont see much difference
  3. Give me some ideas please on wat to ask.. My appt. is on thursday hopefully i get my surgery date.
  4. So i just had me endoscopy done about 1 hr ago n it was a breeze. They laid me down put oxygen on my and gave me an iv, they told me to take 3 big breaths while i had a mouth piece on and they injected the anesthesia and before the 2nd breath i was out . They woke me up and i felt real dizzy. They sat me in a recliner and that was all. I had a lot of gas which hurts but slowly burped it out. Then i went home. The doctor told me everything looked great so im hoping on Thursday i when i go c her the h pylori is gone do i can go that afternoon to my surgeon n get a surgery date so they can summit. Im almost there!
  5. Not been able to wear high shoes because my feet will be killing be in 10 minutes. Not running around with my boys cuz i get winded
  6. The look people give u like if to say " she so big" Being disappointed when something don't fit or look horrible. Walking by a store that sells beautiful clothes u kno u would buy.
  7. Yes i agree and Not ever having a two piece swimming suit
  8. The aches and pains The plus size stores The tight shoes Dressing like an older lady The stressful a bath can be because the shower is to small How long it takes to dry yourself The folds and rash of the skin The hard it is to bend down and tie my shoes The rubbing of my legs Avoiding the mirror My lack of confidence What about u ?
  9. just like me! i was set for november 21' date=' then 2.12 and now for april...started the second set today. sigh. its not fun[/quote'] No no fun at all but it better this way. I got my endoscopy on friday i cant wait to hear negative. Im hoping for a mid march date. But god knows why we didn't have it in november maybe its better like this a month flys so just have patience
  10. I hope wont be awake if i am i wont do it. I hate to gag.
  11. In my case no symptoms or nothing. In the test that they did they found it.
  12. Im curious too. My endoscopy is friday the first. Since i have h pylori and was treated for it twice my gastroenterologist wants me to have one. Im scared of what i might say while waking up from surgery.
  13. I have h pylori and i did the med treatment and got the test and guess wat ... Positive again so i did a second stronger treatment and I'm having an endoscopy done. I suggest u do get the test because h pylori can really mess with your sleeve since it causes ulcers which can lead to stomage cancer. Better be safe than sorry. Good luck
  14. I cant wait to not feel so tired and in pain all the time
  15. Congrats girly.. I recommend to not over think it cuz most things u wont use specially the first day. Tooth brush, hair brush, phone and charger, Chapstick, slippers, a pillow sometimes they don't have enough pillows. N if you're like me a blanket cuz it gets cold in the hospitals. Ive had 3 surgeries and didn't really need a lot and for my vsg i don't plan to take much. Ps glasses if u use them. I hope everything goes great.
  16. So did u guys before surgery saw youre selfs as fat. Cuz even though the scale tells me in fat i dont feel like it. Ive always though of my self in a thin way even though ive never been.
  17. Thank you ladies if u dont mind how far post op are u guys
  18. I've heard a few thing but i wanna know how many of u guys really experience these things. Im still pre op but i wonder what might happen. Some people say that after loosing weight they still see that fat girl. Has that happened to you? Do u get mad because u cant eat as much? Do u have mood swings? How different is your energy level?
  19. I also know that u feel. I am still pre op but i have those dreams also. Im in a store and i order food but after a few bites i can eat no more. In other im in a store buying clothes and i pass by a mirror and can believe how thin i was or i would go to try on clothes ( 3x shirt) and it falls of and is huge . I cant wait for my dreams to become a reality. Funny cuz i might be getting sleeved end of feb too.
  20. Yeah same here. But im done with the secound treatment i hope im negative
  21. Dr. Belsley's office' date=' he's affiliated with St. Luke's Roosevelt.[/quote'] I go to dr. Koshy in st. Lukes also.
