My One Year Surgerversary-



Recommended Posts

Wow, congratulations! You look great. I see you've lost 172 pounds, did you lose that all in a year? I have 165 to lose, and I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed, but you have inspired me!

Chancie,

You are my hero lady!!! Sometimes when I see the success of others and I compare it to what I have to do and the thing that is always hard is that I have to lose soooooo much weight and I can't imagine being able to do it, but you are my role model!!!! Keep on loving life and know that you have been an inspiration.

Thanks!

I have to say thank you all for the kind words!!

I also wanted to comment that I never thought of myself as a "role model"... but wantd to share my experience with you all.

Losing 50 pounds and 100 pounds seems daunting when we first start out... but I can understand some of your fears when you think of losing 150 to 200 pounds.

I had all those fears... I thought maybe this surgery won't work for me...thats ALOT of weight to lose!

But it did!!

I didn't make "goal".. but thats ok.. I am still working my tool...... it's slow going now, but I am healthier and feel better than I ever have.

It can be done, and if I can help anyone in anyway. feel free to message me!

Big HUGS to all of you for such great support!!!

      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.
