I am only 30 pounds down and I can tell that my wedding rings are getting loose!

I don't want to resize till goal.. How did you deal with this? Will a jeweler put a guard on them?

Weird questions I know.. But.. just one of those things that can annoy a person :thumbup:

I'm down 35 and the rings are spinning and I'm careful when my hands are wet. I'm going to go to Walmart and buy a 3mm white gold band that is smaller than my current rings and slip that on till I get to goal and have them sized.

Congratulations - what a good "problem" to have!

I just got back IN to my wedding ring and my husband plans on recreating a whole new ring for me when I hit my goal weight. <---maybe you can work out a deal with YOUR hubby? :thumbup:

carolwright.com sells ring guards really cheap that might work for you. :thumbup:

look into getting "ring snuggies" (roughly $3.00 and you can buy them online) they are basically sizers that will help you wear your rings if they are getting too loose. The only problem I've come across is that my fingers are even too small to fit into my rings WITH the snuggies on... So I just wear my ring as a necklace and when I get to goal (close to the time I'm getting married) my guy is just going to buy me a new set of rings.

I stopped wearing my wedding ring because I didn't want to chance losing it. I have several different bands that I trade out or I wear the first ring that hubby ever bought me.

I have the same issue. the ring guards were awesome the first week they were on the rings but as I worked they flattened out and were just uncomfortable.. I went online and bought a really nice looking cubic and silver wedding band set.. you can get them cheap enough now and they are surprisingly real looking; my co=workers thought I got an upgrade from my hubby.... this is just until I reach goal then I'll have my real ones re-sized.. Good luck!!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
