Congrats and prayers for a speedy and healthy recovery! I hope we get to hear about your journey; highs and lows! Feel well

It's so funny that you said that. And thanks for your reply! I actually wanted to just buy some fun cute and cheap goal size pants while I was out today to remind myself what this is all about.

Buying clothes that I look cute in and feel comfortable in Being confidant and going out to date again Less knee and back pain Not having to keep making excuses Not always being the fat friend

Hey everyone. I wanted to post here because I feel like you all have a lot of experience and are very supportive. I have my NUT and psych appts as well as my pre op visit on Nov 8 and have financial arrangements all made for the facts that I am self pay. So far so good. But that fat person voice in my head keeps saying that this surgery won't work or that I will feel terrible afterwards. I even have moments where I start to think I can just diet! What a huge joke. I have never been able to do that in my life. The voice of denial is loud and clear. Anyone else have experience with this?

Congrats! You are a huge inspiration. I will Keep you in my thoughts for a speedy recovery. I will join you as a sleeve sister in December!
