The change in your body is amazing...CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I know it took a lot of determination and hard work. I have to say tho, what really impressed me as I looked at your pictures is that as you appear to have lost the weight you seem to have gained the confidence....from refusing to look at the camera to posing!!! I think that is awesome!!! You have every reason to be proud. I can't wait to join you! I get my band on the 24th!

Now get out there and strut your stuff!!

Thanks everyone....Traceylou...I can only speak for myself, I really dont think I will ever get past the "fat" mentality. I still have a fair bit to lose to not be considered overweight. I am still obese according to BMI.

Its a hard question to answer but I really dont think I will think of myself as anything other than fat, or someone that needs to lose weight. I have lived with it all my life so if it is going to change I think it will take a long time.

Hugs and good luck with your surgery.

      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.
