No Problems after WLS? - Page 2 - ThinnerTimes

Two months out here and not a single problem. I think your fear is from the unknown as was mine. But believe me, if I knew then what I know now, I would have done this years ago. I spent yesterday trying on size 16 pants for hours and it was such a rush to feel them slide up my hips so easily. (A friend of mine had lost down to size 10 and has been sending me all her bigger clothes.) So close your eyes and just imagine what it would be like to wear that "little outfit" you have always wanted. If you are now smiling, then you will make the right decision.

I just want to say thanks to everyone for the information! It has been so very helpful! I am really glad to see that some haven't had any real problems!

I made the decision, did the research, have friends and family member that have been VERY successful, did the psych eval, and was SOOOOOOO excited.

but then it got close....the last 2 days before my surgery are pretty much a blur to me because I was so scared.

the night before my mother pleaded with me not to have the surgery..... that was horrible.

but I put my thinking cap on and my badge of bravery and just went for it!! I had done my research and all the work leading up to it and was so done being MISERABLE about my weight. It was my time to truly LIVE!!

I was nervous all the way until they wheeled me into the operating room... the anesthesiologist said "I have a REALLY nice margarita for you here!!" and I said to all the people in the operating room "do a good job you guys ok?" and they said "ABSOLUTELY"
then I heard Bob Marley playing in the operating room (this was odd to me but for some reason relaxing) and that's all I remember.... I was out..

fast forward-- I am 5 days out and feeling great about what I did FOR ME

If you have done the research and decided this is what you want don't be clouded by the anxiety and fear at the last minute.. it's normal.

At 9 months out, I have not had any complications from the surgery. Of course there were the normal post-op recovery things (had a bit more pain than some, and I pulled a muscle around one of my incisions from trying to do too much too soon) and adjusting to a tiny, healing pouch...but I haven't even vomited since 2 months post-op. I feel awesome! I bought a pair of size 12 pants today. Size 12!!

Best wishes to you on your journey.
