Thank you all so very much. I honestly believe this is the 3rd best thing to ever happen to me. Obviously the kiddo and husband take priority, but this is something I did for myself and my future health.

I have zero doubts that this was the best decision. I would do it all over again, complications and all, I would do it again without hesitation.

Thank you all for sharing this journey with me. I absolutely love the sleeve and believe it is an extraordinary tool that saved me a lifetime of health hardships.

Tiff,

I noticed that even in your "fat" photos, you look like such a lively, jovial and happy person. That is beautiful to see...

Now as I lose weight and gradually become more happy with how I look I have been thinking about how different people look at me now than when I was fat. (I am still obese, but at the lower edge of that BMI classification, and I don't "feel" fat any more. ) I have become aware of my own feelings about obese people that I see now, compared to how I felt when I was obese myself. It is an interesting dynamic to ponder. I wish I were a multi billionare and could offer to pay for free VSG's to every obese person who wanted one...it is such a life changing gift.

      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. 🤞
