I've had an amazing week, just wanted to share. First, I bought a size 6 pair of pants (down from a 22 last July). Secondly, I took my resting heart rate Tues. and it was 60 (down from 80-85 a year ago). Then I had my measurements done at Curves today and have lost a total of 72.5 inches!

And my most exciting news was that I got a new job this week. One that I would have never had the confidence to even apply for a year ago. There's travel involved and a lot of interaction with people. Before I was always so tired and did everything to avoid being around people because I was so ashamed of how I looked. I love my sleeve and just want to thank God for this opportunity to live life to it's fullest!

Congratulations! I'm a year behind you and looking forward to similar victories. I have my eye on some possible career changes that I just don't have the balls to go for at my current weight. But in about a year, IT'S ON!!!! :tongue_smilie:

      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.
