Just turned 31 two weeks ago, and my initial consultation with the surgeon is next week.

I feel like I wasted my 20's being overweight, and limited.. looking forward to spending my 30s enjoying life instead :)

Hello! I'm 31, Class of '98. No surgery date yet. I'm still going though all the pre-op stuff. I hope to have surgery by the end of the year.

I remember the day last year when my "Scene" son came blaring through the doors excited about a buffalo plaid shirt to wear over his Ts. Oh, it was the biggest thing.. I about died laughing.. I think he thought Fall Out Boys invented it! Haha

I turned thirty-eight this month.. People tell me that I don't look it, and I always reply, "well, no... it's because I am CUTE!" Ha! ;p

Hi! :P Not 30 yet....but I will be next month, so I figured I better go ahead and claim this room!

Welcome! Nice to have you here. I am on the other end of the 30s and I guarantee I will not be entering the 40s room until the day after I turn it. ;)

HI everyone im 32 and ready to change my life. I was thin thru my teens until I had my 1st daughter and decided to get the depo shot forbirth control at age 20. Ever simce then Ive been battling with my worst enemy FAT !!!!! I had my last child 7 yrs ago and even gained more. I recently broke my ankle about 5 months ago and that was hell. A broken ankle hurts more than child birth and i tell you girls I had both my girls natural with no main meds at all. I blame the break on my weight. I was in a wheelchair for 3 months and even gained more weight :(. SO im definitely ready for a life change.

      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. 🤞
