Ok so i just have to complain and i hope someone can relate..... i sweat like a pig. All the time. Im out pf breath. Cant breathe when lean over to tie my shoes. Ugh!!!!! Just get so irritated! Can barely buckle my seatbelt in my car.......anyone have the same problems??

I use to. And soon you will be able to say the same.

Yes and you will be surprised at how quickly things change once you get the surgery done. Of course it wont be immediate, but I am only a little over a month sleeved and am surprised at how many things in my body/life have improved. Be encouraged! Things will get better!

Oh do I hear you Racoon! I am out of breath. Tired and grumpy. Clothes that I can find that are comfortable are ugly as sin. I put the shoulder strap of the seat belt behind me so I don't strangle to death. I will NOT buy an extender!!! So I just live with it. Sometimes I forget it is behind me and get out of the car all wrapped up in the belt. I'm sure I look like a lunatic! Can't wait to have a normal life, normal clothes and normal seat belt wearing!

Used to sweat, huff and puff all the time. Couldn't walk through WalMart. Hubby let me out at doors then parked the car. No more. All reversed.

You will be there soon!

Wow i am so grateful for the encouraging words.... i seriously feel like you guys are my family that understands this journey. My family is mostly thin and pretty much all supportive of surgery but they dont GET IT. The embarrassing things we deal with..... seems like such a long journey thru all the appts before hand but im trying to keep my eye on the prize! Thank you all!!
