What are your expectations of having WLS, both short term and long term?

I expect to grow into a confidence that I've never had. I expect to appreciate the little changes. I expect to take a pic weekly. I expect to feel as if a.daily burden I've lived with is gone. I expect to be able to cross my legs and wear shorter skirts (not stank...lol). I expect to be a little more fashionable. I expect to LOVE myself in my skin

I expect numerous body parts stop hurting when in use and to start working properly without the added weight. I expect my jeans will last a lot longer now that my thighs will not try to escape the material on the inside lol. Good question!

We must be twins, those are my expectations also. .lol

It's tough to teach an ole dog new tricks.......my expectations from WLS is keeping the head in check. My mind has always won out with eating. Head hunger was the reason I ate so much so often. I want the sleeve's restriction to keep my head hunger in check. I know I will develop new habits and eat better food, but I also know the head will still want that cake and those Cookies. (and not just one). So I need that restriction to be there to remind me of the discomfort if I try to eat to excess.

A healthier me! Six weeks out and have already stopped 4 medications..Was able to cross my legs two days ago (shocked me and I almost cried)..To be able to run and play with my grandson this summer...To walk up stairs without panting and to not hurt all over!!

My short term goals are to able to walk and enjoy myself with my son and family, to cross my legs lol. My long term goals is to be able to shop wherever I PLEASE!

Long term, I expect to be able to keep excess weight off, something I was never able to do before. I expect this tool to give me the edge in keeping a healthy lifestyle, eating right, and maintaining my weight. I know I have to do my part, too, but in the past it was never good enough and I always failed and regained. I expect WLS to be the difference.
