Hello everyone! I am SO thankful to have found this app on my iPad! I am 25 years old, with a wonderful, amazing daughter who just had her first birthday yesterday! I am in the middle of this process here, already have had my evaluation, done the pre op support groups, am losing my 15 lbs for my surgery and do the endoscopy on June 8th! I am totally nervous, but then again so excited to finally get the help I need to be comfortable in my own skin! Now I know when you get the surgery, the nurse told me I will t be able to lift for 2 to 3 weeks...... I'm having an issue with this.... How can I not hold my baby? How was the pain? I'm nervous about my skin too! I hope to lose at least 100 to 120 lbs... Am I going to be saggy? Any help would be appreciated! I also recently quit smoking, (for the 3rd time!!!) how do they test your nicotine levels? I was told as long as I quit a month before my surgery I will be all set. Thanks everyone!

I had a major knee surgery when my dd was 17 months and thank god she just started walking I would sit down and have her come to me when she wanted to be help it was the only way I could do it. It works she is fine. She is now 2 1/2 and normal.

You will find things to help you with you child after surgery stick with what works for you. I was very soar and tired for 3 weeks. I learned not to over do it if I was having a good day as I would pay big time the next day. Your skin will depend on your genetics I have had stretch marks since I hit puberty so I know I will need surgery. With my fist baby being 9 lbs I could have had it done after her. lol

Tekara I was sleeved may 30th it'll be a week tomorrow

Congrats!! 12 lbs. in a week? I cannnnnnnnooottttt wait! Keep in touch!!!!
