My last straw is not being able to play with my son, not being able to work because of being in so much pain, not bring able to give my husband kids because my body won't let me because I'm too big

Wow that is amazing I am so happy for you I am starting my journey at 370lbs and struggling to lose 30lbs required to get the surgery

@@Social Introvert I will be praying for you I hope you get approved soon so you can start feeling better

Thank you everyone for replying it really helps you guys are so great thanks

Hi Healthyamy, I am pre-op as well. Only I don't have a date yet! I'm waiting for my insurance through my husbands work to start next month and go form there! Although I'm not too confident that weight loss surgery will be covered. Boo! Anyway, I'm keeping my options open and staying prayerful that I'll have the surgery sooner rather than later. I am new to this forum and know that I'll need friends as well through this process. I'd be happy to chat with you and hopefully encourage you as well. I do feel your pain about not being able to get around comfortably. Knee , back and hip pain! The struggle is real girl! Good luck with everything that is coming your way. Here's to smaller clothes in the not so distant future.

Hey guys I'm also new to the forum. I am post-op. I was sleeved 6 weeks ago. The changes in my life are amazing. If there's anything that I can help you with I'm more than happy to. Wishing you both the best.

Hi, my surgery is jauary 5th, I'll be having gastric bypass. I am 31 years old and have an almost 8 year old as well. Feel free to send my a message if u want to chat or add me as a friend. :-) good luck with your surgery!

Con of the surgery I think is having ur inside rearranged. I am having the sleeve though. You could have dumping syndrome which could be a con or pro depending on how you look at it. Pro's you will lose weight and get healthy, feel better, have more energy ect I have not had the surgery yet so I hope I was able to help I am about a month away from getting it

Lmao omg I have not laughed that hard in a long time. I laughed so hard my tummy hurt and I started to cry lol

Yes. I carry almost all of my extra weight below my waist and have lymph edema in my legs.
Although my legs are still large and misshapen, especially my left leg, they have changed tremendously.
Immediately post-op I lost weight very rapidly. A lot of that was from the Fluid in my legs according to my PA.
I may never have normal shaped legs but who knows. I have seen so many physical changes since surgery I am starting to believe anything is possible.

everything especially loosing 60 pounds only to put back on 80 over the next year and a half.... then when I heard about the Sleeve, I knew it was for me. A couple years of looking into bypass and not being able to do that to myself. Talked to Sleevers and researched it and was ready to go.... while waiting the 6 months for surgery a 4yr old asked, "Why are your legs so big?" that sealed the deal for me.

hello noce to meet you i am 25 soon 26 in January and getting my date jan7th that i have an appointment with the surgeon i am self pay
