Once you start losing weight you will become more confident in showing your body, don't worry. I'm 26 and I've been self conscious bout my body for as long as I can remember, even in front of my husband. But once the weight started coming off I didn't mind my body been seen anymore. Especially if your bf likes what he's sees and you feel confident ans sexyyy, he will eat you up girl! I'll be honest tho it took me getting to a size 12/14 to be in nothing but panties. It just depends on you ya know? As far as the excess skin, yes you're young and you have good elasticity BUT you need to work out to tone and tighten. Then you'll really feel like gettin. naked! Lol. I've lost 81lbs without exercising and I'm paying for it now that I've started working out, it makes me worry about my "squishy" skin and have to work twice as hard to tone. but it's my fault and I'm still workin on it. Don't worry so much @@emery_perkins you have your whole life ahead of you and you will be great! The only regret I have is I didn't do it sooner.

I feel completely the same. And my butt bones hurt after sitting a while. I miss the Club Lulu from Jimmy John's on wheat once or twice a week too. :'(

I had my surgery on Oct 15th, and I had diarrhea for about the first 5 weeks (same with my mom). Make sure you're taking a daily probiotic, it really helps believe it or not.. I notice when I don't take it because I'll either have diarrhea or I won't go at all, there's really no in between for me. Good luck though!

I had my surgery Oct 15th of this year and I've had 4 or 5 periods since, BUT I ran out of my birth control and then I switched to a lower hormone dose so that could be why. Vaginal secretions seem to be a little more than before. My mons pubis is MAYBE a little smaller but it's more noticeble to me because I don't have the big gut blocking my view anymore. And apparently anything under a size 16 is "low-rise" which seems to make mine more noticeble lol. And libido is back up, A LOT! I want it all the time now!! I think it's because I feel so good about myself now.

I had my surgery around 6:30 and I was back in my room by 8 and up walking around by 8:45. Still feeling gas in my chest at times and I've been burping a lot. My sleeve was the 15th so one week from today.

I didn't have a catheter or my mom either. They said with the procedure being so quick there's really no need for one. Just make sure you potty right before your surgery.

I got a $150 discount because my mom got it done at the same time so $4250. Reg is $4400 though.

My sleeve was done on Oct 15th and my incisions are still tender too. Just make sure you wash them with soap (I use the Dial antibacterial body wash already) everyday, dry them good and then doctor them how you were advised. For me I got antiseptic spray and I have to keep the little strips on til they fall off on their own. My drain site I'm supposed to keep covered til it stops oozing so I clean it and cover after my showers. Oh and no actual bath baths for 4 weeks! I know you weren't asking for anything but I just threw my 2 cents in. Hope you feel better soon!

I went thru Ready4AChange.com and Dr. Garcia performed my surgery in Tijuana for $4400. I'm 3 days out and feeling much better than I anticipated, but everyone's pain tolerance is different too. I feel a bit nauseaus here and there but overall pretty good. The nurses were good and attentive and good at bringing you pain and anti-nauseau medication often. Best of luck!

I got sleeved by Dr. Garcia at Florence on the 15th so that was 3 days ago. I'm a little bit sore and nauseas but other than that doing pretty good. Hope all is well with all of you too!

Cool! Thanks good luck to you too! I have to do a 10 day pre-op diet.

The 15th is coming so fast and I'm scared, nervous, excited, anxious.. People are trying to talk me out of it and I'm doubting but I want this so bad!
