  1. Many on my list are repeats from what others have listed.

    I will not miss worrying that I won't fit in a booth at a restaurant, praying that they sit us at a table.

    I won't miss carrying a seat belt extender in my purse when I fly, hoping no one asks if I will fit. (that has happened several times and it's humiliating.)

    I will not miss having issues with personal hygiene

    I will not miss being worried what little kids are going to say when they see me. We all know how brutally honest kids can be.

    I will not miss not being able to be active with my family.

    I will not miss getting exhausted walking just a few feet.

    I will not miss not sleeping well because I constantly have to turn over because my weight is too much to lay in one position for too long. Even on a tempourpedic bed.

    I will not miss all the pills I have to take because of my weight.

    I will not miss thinking my husband should find someone else.

    I will not miss almost needing a crane to get me up out of our deep couch.

    I will not miss worrying if a chair is strong enough to hold me.

    I will not miss having to keep an empty seat between my husband and myself at the movies because I crowd him.

    Wow. That's a lot and I'm sure there is more. I have surgery in 10 days and I cannot wait to NOT miss all these things!

    I really got emotional reading your post. I feel the same exact way! I've forced myself to chaperone my kid's field trips because I know that I will never get that time back with them. Children can really be brutally honest and it's pretty hurtful!! I definitely won't miss that!!! Thanks for Sharon :)


  2. I'm in Ft Lauderdale. Had my surgery at memorial hospital in Hollywood with Dr Eckstein

    Hi Holly! We have the same doctor! I haven't been sleeved yet but I will very soon. Any pros or cons? I've only met him once and I feel that I know the nutritionist more than I know him
