  1. Pam_2-07-2017 thats was an awesome viewpoint on things im really glad that you shared that with me. Im 28 and that is part of the reasons I really want to do this now. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  2. @AnneElliot Sounds like your at least satisfied with the weight loss. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  3. Thank you for that. Im still thinking but I don't wanna wait till I gain more weight and possibly have more issues.@Please [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  4. Don't feel bad at all...I don't see it as being judgmental, I see it as being honest. Life is precious and we all worry about our health but this surgery may not be a quick fix. Like you said even after the weight is lost you have to deal with long term complications its not something to be taken lightly. I appreciate your honesty. I just don't know if I can lose 100lbs on my own. Which is what I want to lose.@AnneElliot [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  5. I have hypertension and really don't want to start hypertensive meds at my age im 28@AnneElliot [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  6. Ol and that was before you met with the surgeon? Congrats by the way@Favor1223 [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  7. Does everyone gt their date at the second appt. With their surgeon if so I should be getting mine this month. Because my second appt. With my surgeon is this month. FutureFitGirl
  8. Oh really? Wow! Thats cool. I work Newborn Nursery and I used to do NICU. @1poundatatime I have no kids yet and I think it may be because of my weight issues. I only got pregnant twice and both times had miscarriages [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  9. Wow! Thats true! That is so inspiring and it feels like a relief to know that other people feel the same way as me. One day I feel really excited and the next I start thinking maybe I shouldn't do this. However, I feel like I need to write a list of pros and cons to keep me motivated. Im a nurse too only I work with neonates. Lol. Thank you for your response @1poundatatime [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  10. Wow! That sounds amazing! This definitely sounds like something I would like to do. Thank you for that. Hearing positive stories like these make me wanna do it more and more everyday @Torriliv87 [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  11. Thank you so much lisalisa5678 you are right and it is none of their business. I have tried a lot of diets too and all failed or I lost weight only to gain it back. Thats why I wanna do this surgery now. I feel like if I don't do it now I will just end up doing it later. Thank you for your advice. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  12. Thank you so much@Iwannabethin! [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  13. Thank you@Berry78 and@Amethyst Acinom you guys give amazing advice and have made me start thinking a little differently. My Father had high blood pressure and diabetes and now my blood pressure is starting to go high and im only 28. Im trying to stay off of anti-hypertensives and ear healthy. However, I do want a health me in the future. I think im letting what ppl think and have to say bother me too much. You are right they are not the ones who have to live i. My body or deal with the consequences. Thank you guys so much. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  14. No I haven't. Maybe I should tho. My nutritionist gave me a few. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  15. Guys Im so scared. Thinking of maybe even backing out after I had my mind set on this for so long. People are completely clueless about this procedure yet they have so many negative things to say. Im 5'4 250lb and 28yr old and everyone says you can do this on your own your young. Food is an addiction for me. Would you tell a drug addict no to get help from a doctor or that he could do it on his own. Nobody but people going through it understand that food is an addiction. If I don't do this I don't think I will ever be a Healthy weight. But im scared. My friend at work was like oh I know someone who did surgery to lose weight and died but maybe everyone is different and that wont be the outcome for everyone. [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  16. Don't be scared. Im not having surgery tomorrow but just be strong you will be ok. [emoji3] [emoji106] FutureFitGirl
  17. Guys im getting super scared the closer I get to getting this surgery. So scared that Im starting to think maybe I should back out. I don't know what to think. Everyone I talk to says negative thinks about the surgery. I don't know what to do anymore. Please help tell me some pros and cons of getting this surgery. Thanks. FutureFitGirl

  22. Guys I am a professional Singer anout to start school to train as an Opera Singer and I just wanted to know if anyone who sings has had any issues after the sleeve. Even if you don't sing if you have any information please let me know. Thank you. FutureFitGirl
