Hi my name is Tammy I had my first appointment on March 4th and got my surgery date fr June 3rd. I am so excited. I have even waiting to post until I had my date. I love reading all the stories from everyone. Can't wait to join you on te laser bench!

I am just starting out. I am going to the seminar on thursday evening. I met my surgeon while I was in respiratory therapy school. I have seen many of his patients and how they have turned out.

I can't wait until tomorrow... My surgery! LOL
*Surgery Scheduled 3/21/13*

I've been in the mood for dill pickle spears. How long after surgery did anyone eat pickles?

I eat pickles all the time. I think I was 6 months out when I started crunching on them

I went by my hospital weight. I honestly lost 3lbs while sleeping one night. I already feel so much better. I feel like I lost my neck. Lol

I couldnt agree more...except my surgery is next month and Im sooooo nauseus right now
I know if its needed its to help me have a healthy life its just i literally have the weakest stomach with stuff like this Im sick just reading about it lol

OMG now Im totally FREAKING out...I have the quesiest (sp?) stomach EVER and I KNOW i will not be able to stomach a drainage tube....my sister had one when she had a c-section and i couldnt even look at her and you couldnt even see anything ......oh man how the heck i am gonna do this OMG OMG OMG

Get me feeling nauseated thinking about it.

Starting weight 340 lbs morbidly obese
Today 159 lbs normal bmi

A thread like this should be a must read. Celebrations of farts & poops have not come up in my early stages. I have had just my initial appointment and it was over informative to read so many stories of people going through this stage of the journey in one thread. Lots of successes and struggles.

Can't wait to go to a ball game without stressing about the size of the seat.

I can't wait to throw anything on in the closet and not worry... Does this still fit? Or try to stretch my shirts some before putting them on so that you can't see how high my pants go up on my stomach.
I also can't wait to get more tattoos either. I have my whole right lower leg done as part on a leg sleeve but have not moved too my thigh because of being embarrassed of my weight. I also can't wait to show of my tattoos. I'm so shy about them now because I think people will say "look at that fat chicks tattoos." I love my tattoos but hide due to my weight. I can't wait to be free of my fears.

Some clever person started a thread a while ago about all the things they can't wait to do after surgery and start dropping the pounds. How fun, right!?
I meant to comment on it but got distracted doing god knows what. Needless to say, I cannot locate the original post. So lets start a new one!!
I can't wait to wear shorts and a tank top just because - and feel comfortable in them.
I can't wait to fit into a normal sized....well....anything!
I can't wait until my outside awesomeness matches my inside awesomeness.
I can't wait until painting my toes is not a series of contortionist moves that would rival Cirque Du Soilei routines.
I can't wait to be able to hug me knees.
I can't wait to weigh less than my husband.
I can't wait to share clothes with my sister - she's a size 4 :/
I can't wait to get my whole arm tattooed - not just my forearm because I HATE my upper arm largeness.
I can't wait to do a 10K, like for real.
I can't until a short haircut does not make me look like Rosie O'Donnell (sorry Rosie)
I can't until I am able to be "more adventurous" in the bedroom *wink*

Can't wait to... Be comfortable enough to let someone take a picture.
Can't wait to... Not be afraid I won't fit in an airplane seat. And other people not to be worried they have to sit next to the obese person.
Can't wait to ... Go to an amusement park and be able to ride every ride.
Can't wait to go sky diving. I got turned down last time for being 40 lbs over the max!

Yeah using a beach towel to wrap me up in is not cute. And the scale thing - totally!

I can't wait... To wrap a normal size bath towel all the way around me and tuck it in.
I can't wait... To shop at Forever 21
I can't wait... To run up a flight of stairs without being out of breath.
I can't wait... To look at the scale without leaning all the way forward to see what I weigh.
I can't wait... To be able to squat down to tie my shoes
I can't wait... To be done with my CPAP machine. Going to bed every night looking like Darth Vader is really messig up my sex life.
I can't wait... For my surgery on March 21 ... Sooooo freaking excited
