Why thank you hun keep in touch

Hi July vsg's I am in July too!!! Looking to meet new ppl going through this journey too;-)

Oh my name is Crystal and I'm from Illinois near Chicago.

I'm July 22nd and feeling so anxious right now! Im even counting the days 53 to go! I wish it was here already !

I don't know how to find people by email address, that's why I'm asking you to find me lol

Thanks! I'm going in on June 3rd for my second surgeons appointment and hopefully look at his calendar and pick a date! SO excited!

Hi, are there any other July sleevers out there. Golly it feels like forever away... 10 weeks to go...

I'm July 3rd too! Where will you be having surgery?! Congrats on getting your date!

I am looking for people who are heavily tattooed...mainly on your arms. My arms are almost completely sleeved and then I also have a large upper back piece. My tattoos have been one of the only pretty things about me for years now and...they are a rather large investment. I just hope that my weight loss doesn't destroy them!

Nutritionist appointment

What does NUT appointment stand for?

I'm obsessed with it. All I want to do is shop!!!! For my future self. I keep looking at my face and thinking how I can't wait to have my face back on not all this fat

Hello there, I know exactly how you feel and my surgery is coming up this Wednesday. This emotional roller coaster is something we all go through I hear but you know every time I think of turning back something happens , like I see myself in a picture unexpectedly, and I am right back on track. So know that what you are experiencing is NORMAL.

I was a bit apprehensive but looking at the overall picture I was more concerned about what my continued obesity would do to me. It has been a year and 5 months since my surgery. If I hadn't gone through with it there is a good chance that I would be dead now. I was going down that fast.
Yesterday my wife came out to watch me run up "fat killer hill". It is a steep hill in my neighborhood here in Dade City, Florida. I have 2 1/2 pound weights on both feet and run with a 20 pound kettle bell held out in front and overhead. I run full speed up the hill for 30 seconds and walk down and do it again, 12 times.
Deb was smiling like a Cheshire Cat when I was done. She's seen me puffing and panting pre-surgery from just walking up the stairs. Before we got back to the house I was breathing normally.
I took a chance with this surgery. I won.

We all wonder just like you. It would be just soooo easy to just go on doing like we've always done... (Oh, but then we'll get what we've always got, ) Never mind. Scared on not, as Winston Churchill said... "When you find yourself in Hell, keep going!"

I'm 3 days post-op and feeling great! I did over do it tonight going to the store, but just needed to get liquids and rest. My pain was very minimal after surgery and had no nausea it truly felt like I had a pair of pants on 2 sizes too small. My throat hurt worse than my tummy did!
Just take a deep breathe and keep a positive attitude! My pain is almost all gone, if you would call it pain, feels like I had an amazing core work out yesterday.
Plan everything out and be prepared before going in having your next stage or two of good prepared!
The next few weeks are going to fly by!!

This is actually normal because of the fact that you did just have a Trach Tube down your throat. I'm a vet tech so sometimes the trach tube does bother patients. You can alway ask your Dr for a cough suppressant that should help Get better Soon!! I'm hoping to have my Surgery in end of Sept or Early Oct

Super normal after abdominal surgery. Squeeze a pillow tight to your belly... it helps.

I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be scheduled in July ... I meet my surgeon next month and I have my 3rd pre op class next month as well ... I'm trying my best to be patient ...

You are Hott! If he doesn't like how you look let me! Lol

The way he is behaving is very disrespectful and quite frankly it doesn't matter if she is hot or not OR if you are fat or thin. That was a really nasty and low thing for him to do.
Do you really want a man who has your permission to do whatever he wants with whomever will let him who will then come back to you and treat you like that? I wouldn't. People tend to get what they ask for. Aim higher.

I have some friends who are married and poly. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to have a healthy relationship with your spouse. Counseling is a great idea, and he does seem like a jerk.
