The Dr. said he wasn't going to fill me until I hit a plateau. He said that every once in a while he has a patient who is in the green zone with just the little bit he filled during surgery. He told me that if I stopped losing my 2-3 pounds a week, I could call and he would get me in to do a fill. I'm telling you that I feel the real reason I'm losing weight because I have my head in it. I have never had my head in the game before and I'm happier than I have ever been. Weight has been the only thing in my life that has been out of control and it feels so good to be in control of it, finally.

You are doing super! My doctor bases fills on what I am eating, and how hungry I am. To be honest, I think it's wrong for doctors to say they will only fill when your not loosing weight. As you said, you have your head in the game. It is certainly possible to be loosing weight because your sticking to a program, but have lots of hunger. Just a thought. Best wishes!

Well, the good thing is that I'm not having too much hunger. Because I have my head in the game now, I know that the hunger is not a bad thing, I'm not going to die, it's just a signal.

      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.
