It's been 16 months since I had the Gov'ner installed and I have lost 100 pounds! Woo Hoo! From 344 to 244, from 56" waist to a 42", from knee pain to running steps, to a completely new wardrobe. I have 44 more pounds to lose to reach my goal but the finish line is in sight!

Ya'll have a Merry Christmas.

Coming from a pre-surgery patient your weight loss is inspiring. It reassures me I'm making the right choice and that this can be done. Congratulations on your hard work and good luck on reaching your goal.

Sparky!!!!

Thank you and congratulations!!!

I'm 9 days away from "Roscoe" being installed and your post got me excited once again.

i was sitting here thinking I shouldnt go somewhere because of this pre-op diet and your words just encouraged me so much. There is NOT a food that can deter me now!!

Five pounds in two weeks and I have over 6cc's in my band. I have restriction so why now am I losing so slow?!please help

Patience is the key. 5 pounds in three weeks is good. I my journey I had weeks where I did not lose any weight some weeks I'd lose 5 pounds(but I'm a guy). It is a distance race, go the distance and you will get your reward. It has been frustrating at times but looking back over the last 16 months it's been pretty quick. Remember it's taken a lot of years to put the weight on, it's going to take a while to get it off. Maybe not the answer you are looking for but it is the best answer I can give you. Hang in there.

      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.

      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.
