Has anyone else started thinking about what it would be like to be thin before surgery. I'm thinking, is this really going to happen and, is the insurance going to approve me. Am I really going to be able to tell u guys, I had my surgery?

I thought surgery will fail for me to be honest. Once the weight started melting I was like damn! This surgery works & adding exercise & eating healthly is important.

I didn't think I would be thinner. I didn't know I could go back 15 years ago. Lmbo

I guess my nerves are getting the best of.

your not alone, I've been looking at clothing in smaller sizes and just wonderig with it's going to be like to walk in any store and find something that actualy looks good to wear, and cost much less that where we shop now. Exciting!

I knowmu right, I just pray this happen for me.

As long as you follow your surgeons plan it will work. But it will take some time for your brain to catch up to the weight loss. I still go into the plus size section looking for clothes, forgetting that I can now wear regular sizes.. even JUNIORS!!! So it will happen. Just believe in yourself and how much you want this and you'll do great!

I guess I just want this so much

I hear and feel you. I am also waiting insurance approval, but already dream about my surgery date and being the new thin me. I can't wait to shop for regular sizes and actually buy something I like and not jut buy because I have to!!

I got approved today I'm so happy

Congratulations and good luck.

I know how you feel!! I keep thinking that when is the ball going to drop!! I know I am getting closer but I can't help feel something somewhere is going to throw a wrench in it. I go today for final weigh in and then off to the waiting game...

I've been doing the same exact thing! Can't wait to purchase my new much smaller wardrobe!!

I think all of us have struggled in many ways, I think it's safe to say that, we are tired of trying diets that don't work, we lose 20 pounds and gain 40 back. Ultimately this surgery would end all the struggles. If we use this tool right we can finally put the over weight person behind us. Our new journey, our new life begins. It's worth it, if we work it.
