Sweetybabs

Awesome! I am glad to hear that it was better than you anticipated! It makes me feel better about having mine in 4 weeks.

Thanks so much! It helps having friends who are in the same boat!

I am having the VGS on Nov. 2, 2011...so I can relate to a lot of your story! I had my thyroid removed about 10 yrs ago...since then I have gained over 150 lbs. I was always a little over weight after having 3 children...but after the thyroid surgery (and I am on Synthroid too) it piled on. To add more drama to it...I have a heart condition that limits exercise. I know this is the best decision for me at this point in my life. I just turned 44 yrs old... and the kids are all teenagers or grown. My husband is my biggest fan! I know what you mean about not feeling sexy...but...sexy comes within..we have to feel it first before we can expect someone else to see it! I wish you the best ...and look forward to following your journey too.. God bless!

I too am having the VGS...my surgery is scheduled for Nov.2, 2011. I watched several videos of the surgery and I am glad I did. I feel very good about the procedure and think the video answered a lot of my questions. Good luck on your surgery!
