I'm always a big sweaty mess. I hope that changes when I lose weight!

Smaller LESS EXPENSIVE bras.

Not being so hot and winded all the time.

Most importantly, being off my meds and better health.

Being able to buy clothes from regular stores, instead of ordering things online, which always end up being too big or too small.

I colored my hair yesterday, and I realized that next year at this time, I will be able to use the plastic gloves that come with the kit! Right now they always tear when I put them on because they are so small.

Oh my goodness, yes on the bras! If men love big boobs so much, we should have our larger bras subsidized IMO. Ha!

Bras would be nice for me too!!!! I carry my weight in my back and arms like a mini line backer but I don't have big boobs so who carries a 40 B?? And btw, what is going to happen to my boobs after all the weight loss? I will have to curl them up and put them in my bra that I can finally buy at victoria secret! LOL

My back, Oh Lord, how I hope my back hurts less as I lose weight.

Less meds, better health, I don't want to be a walking stroke any longer.

I hope my feet hurt less. Although, some of that if from neuropathy and I realize it can't be reversed.

Putting my wedding ring back on.

This is really vain and my reasons for the sleeve are not really out of vanity but more medical but it will be nice not be embarrassed about being in family pictures. Last Christmas photos I looked like a blueberry, so round and blue/purple clothes. lol

Yes! And I notice that I always hide behind other people in pictures. I'd like to not have to feel like I need to do that.

All the reasons listed here and more. I was banded in 2009 and it worked remarkably well for me. I lost all the excess weight very fast and felt fantastic. No one could believe I formally obese. My band failed and I am starting to gain weight now. I'm having the band remove and getting the sleeve. I've been obese before, and never want to go back to that place.

How about the blood pressure cuff? Anyone else have that problem? It is embarrassing. And I can't use the home blood pressure cuff at all.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
