I want to kayaking and ride a seadoo. I want to ride a horse and stop having so much anxiety on whether people like me or not because I'm so big.

Because I am having trouble with dieting during this preop I wanted to add a few things:

Bending down to tie my shoes and not experiencing horrible side cramps

Not worrying about if I can fit into an uber or someone else's car

Wearing athletic shoes, in school the kids always said my shoes were leaning over

Walking on campus at a regular pace with coworkers and not sweating or being winded

Being able to fit on rides, go to concerts and not have to shimmy walk at the theaters

Working on a core that's strong enough where I can get up off of the floor without flailing around

Good for you!

That's awesome!

I am in the same boat, after doing more research it looks like my insurance will only pay for banding or gastric bypass. I thought wanted the sleeve...but I'm so tired of this weight that I'm thinking just going with what I can get paid for.
