Weirdest things you are looking forward to after surgery

I feel the same way. I'm 324 lbs (16 pounds so far on diet before surgery!) And my husband is 122lbs soaking wet. I've seen people laugh at us together. Or flirt shamelessly with him in front of me because I'm fat and not competition for his affection. It was really bad when we first started dating. It's not as bad now 7 years later. I look forward to not feeling like clumsy elephant walking next to a clumsy giraffe lol. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

I am completely in the same boat. I should get my surgery in September or October. I'm just doing my 6 months physician period required by my insurance. I am just so ready to do things I couldn't do before. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi everyone! I am new here as I mentioned in the subject. I made the decision to seek out Gastric bypass in April. I decided to get it because I have a huge list if medical issues and I'm only 32. I want to see my daughter grow up. I've been dieting and going to the gym and I only have 3 more months before my insurance will approve the surgery. I'm here to learn what I can and any help with the abbreviations used on this site would be appreciated. I'm nervous about surgery but I'm very ready for a real life change.
