102 pounds GONE!!!!!



Recommended Posts

I have lost 102 pounds since May 1, 2009! I have been on a very frustrating plateau since a little after Christmas. I also just had to have an unfill due to acid reflux issues but Feb. 2nd I'll be getting filled again and be back on the loosers bench once again! I'm really looking forward to it! 36 more pounds to go!

Congrats!!

You look great and I wouldn't worry about the plateau unless you start gaining weight.

Thanks! I feel great!

I know once I get my fill, I'll start loosing again...it's hard to wait though, I REALLY like seeing that scale move down at least a little bit everyday. Guess I've been pretty spoiled up to now. I am very thankful for what I've lost so far, I love my band! :thumbup:

Hi

I had my lap band done on July 12 last year. But, I am not losing, I can still eat everything. And as much as I want. I have had 3 fills, but I am not tight enough. How do you know if you are full enough? How tight do you feel?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
