Hi Everyone! Today was my first follow up appointment with my Dr. My surgery was on Nov.16th and with the holiday, this was the first time my doctor was in my area. Y'all, I have lost 40lbs. This includes my 1 week of liquids pre-op. I am thrilled, and awed, and thankful! I was too excited not to share.

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Thank you all very much! I'm so excited. I was released to start exercising today as well, so I'm hoping the loss just continues from here. :)

Do you mind me asking how much you lost during the one week of pre op dieting? I only had to do clears for 3 days so I only lost a few lbs. My one week check up is this Wednesday. I'm not going to be anywhere near 40 lbs down! I Have been hoping to be down 15 lbs. at my one week check up. Congrats for you though! That's awesome!

Sorry.. premature send button.. lol I too was banded on the 16th and down 32 from the start of liquids. Love the weight loss and learning how to use this tool! One question I do have for everyone is can you feel your port? Mine is still very prominent and feels like some liquid is around it. Anyone else? Congrats to everyone!

      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. 🤞
