Some pretty darn good answers to questions that people should have the common sense (and decency) not ask, thanks!

Thanks for all your help, I'll take it all on board. I too have seen that some woman have increased facial hair post sleeve (it dos'nt seem right that you can lose head hair and have increased facial hair growth!) I have been on meds in the past for tis issue and would really like to not have to take them. I have have tried electrolysis with minimal result and was told because it was hormonal electrolysis would have minimal effect.

Yes! Everyday! I usually have egg whites, turkey sausage and 1/4 of an avacado! I love them and they are a "superfood"!

The seatbelt extender on the airplane!
Buying ONLY pants with elastic waists (they're comfy so I'll still probably have some ????)
Being tired and out of breath when walking up a flight if stairs.
Knee and back pain.
My belly in the way (especially during sex ????????????????)
Hiding from cameras!

This is going to sound stupid but im excited to be able to,buy "sexy " underwear and feel good about wearing tgem

Hi!
It's great to see other people like me just starting out with this journey.
I'm very much like you, and for a very long time did not want to get surgery and thinking that I could do it all by myself, and I am able to lose weight by myself, but only so much before I slip up and the vicious cycle starts over.
I had been thinking about for awhile and then I had a couple of health scares which were the final push.
I need to wait until the end of October 2015 for my insurance to cover the surgery and then from what my surgeon said it'll only be a couple of month doing appointments before the surgery.
It's fantastic that hopefully you can have yours done at the beginning of next year! That's great!
Good luck to anyone with surgery coming up soon or anyone else just starting out!

Went to the movies last night and It was a packed house 3 hr movie that was awesome but I hurt on both sides I had no place for my arms and felt like I was crowding my boyfriend and daughter look over and a woman my age was curling up both feet in her chair. I almost cried!!!! That is what I will never miss that horrible feeling when I really see exactly how big I let myself get.

I think nearly everything that's already been mentioned I won't miss.
The looks from strangers, worrying about fitting into chairs, bumping into things, sweating and shortness of breath, being extremly limited in clothing choice, the list is endless!
The list of things I'm looking forward to is just as long I think, I have always wanted to skydive, even something as simple as going shopping with my mum and sister and being able to try things in "normal" clothing shops, going out dancing with my friends in a gorgeous dress and not feeling self conscience and judged. The number one thing I am looking forward to the most is being able to live a long and healthy life.

Hi!
I've only just joined this forum and its such a fantastic support system!
I too am just starting this journey, I've met with a surgeon who I liked instantly, but I need to wait until end of October 15 before my insurance waiting period is over and they'll cover it, so I go back to the surgeon early September for all the pre-op appointments and tests and all that.
So I completely understand the impatience of just wanting to get it done now!
On the upside of that I guess is that can do our research here and learn from people who have had the surgery and pick their brains.
Good luck to you!
