Dknal2

I'm just trying to lighten the mood with couple of jokes people. My surgery is dec 5 so I'm getting a little nervous and I'm not that vain until I will die if my butt goes down. I will live. I Just like my butt????

Great suggestion, but I don't know how to swim ????????, maybe pool therapy would be good pretend like I'm running in Water. I will certainly ask though.

I'm going to buy one of those butt lift spanx type shape wear and it will come off when I bathe. I'm going to make this butt behave ????????????

???????????? thank you @proudgrammy... I'm hoping it doesn't go because I have plenty...I'm not having a funeral for my butt I'm fighting to keep my butt alive ????????????.. I'm just being funny but I do thank you for chiming in. I have surgery Monday so keep me in your prayers. @@Dknal2 i don't think you can prevent the loss of your rear end after/during weight loss, exercise might help improve it if the loss is gonna happen anyways - make funeral plans no hurry on strenuous/any exercise immediately PO YOUR doc will advice you butttttt not every ones tushy is totally gone post WLS (mine went bye bye LOL) squats "sound" on the harder side right after WLS going down, lots of pressure some people get plastics to help give themselves a "lift" LOL good luck next month kathy

I'm hoping one of the Bariatric pal vets will chime in

I wanna keep some of my curvaceousness. ???? Lord let me have just a little butt left please . ????????????

I know this may sound silly to some. But I love my butt. I know she and I have to part ways after surgery somewhat ???? But I'm trying to keep some of her with me always. Squats improve this chance of having a nice bottom so I'm trying to figure out how long before one can do squats considering squats aren't a strenuous exercise. I know I'm gonna have to ask the doctor but I'm just wondering if my sleeve buddies out there can help me figure this one out.

My date is Dec 5 and that's Monday ... so I understand the anxiety and being overwhelmed. I have ordered my Multivitamin Patches and Protein Soups as well as drinks from Bariatric Advantage. I'm trying to be prepared but my nerves are getting bad ????

Dixiediva im praying for you... that's soon, My date is right next door on dec 5 ... by may we will be down at least 50 lbs n so proud of ourselves. Lets stay encouraged and motivated. quote name="dixiediva" post="4330502" timestamp="1480380829"] Just joined this group, my date is this Friday, 12/2/2016. Excited and nervous!

I'm right here with you yardsleever... but I keep telling myself it will be worth it in about 4-6 months when I look in the mirror and see maybe 40 or 50 pounds gone , never to return. We got this. My date is dec 5 and I'm shaking in my boots but ready as well.

Omg that's so great .. I finally meet someone that is having surgery with same surgeon. I will add you as a friend . Good luck to you let's connect I am having VGS with Dr. Frenzel on Dec 19th! Sent from my SM-N920P using the BariatricPal App

That is my date as well... really excited.. hospital just called me to say that my portion of deductible is 17 bucks... I have met all out of pocket expenses and 17 dollars short of my deductible...God is good.

I have sleep apnea as well. Everyone wants to know what's best for you and they know nothing of the sort. quote name="computercat" post="4330126" timestamp="1480354175"] I'm so tired of being told I'm not that fat to need surgery. My BMI is ~42 and I have SEVERE sleep apnea (AHI of 77! That means that if I didn't use my cpap I would not breathe for at least 1/3 of the night!).

Embrace the intimidation of your courage as THEIR problem, not your burden.... that is powerful. I appreciate that so much. Thank you.????

Thank you. I hope so too. Your husband sounds great and even though he didn't agree he was still supportive of your decision. That's a great man. My husband is really making me feel bad about my decision . Saying he likes my shape now but wverytine that I have lost weight he couldn't keep his hands off me . I hate that I have to go in alone but oh well I am moving forward.
