I had my sleeve surgery one year ago today!

It's just been the best year I could imagine. I love not being fat and I have been maintaining at goal for over 6 months.

My last pair of jeans that I bought is a size 6 and the top I bought was a small. I've gone from a 3 X to a SMALL!

I am so glad somebody invented sleeve surgery!:thumbup1::thumbup::biggrin0:

Congrats!!

I am anxious to get to "your stage", but at least now I know I actually have a realistic chance of doing it!

I hope more people learn about the sleeve and have the opportunity to get it. It is an amazing tool!

A 6????!!!! And from a 3x????!!!! Wow! What an inspiration to all of us! It's great to hear that you've had a good year. It's only been 4 weeks for me, and I'm just beginning to get a little energy back--so it's very encouraging to hear your story. Keep up the great work!

Thank you everyone! I hope everyone reaches their goals and is always as happy as I am with their decision to permanently remove the majority of their stomach.

I really envy all those that are getting sleeved so much earlier in their lives but even at 57 years old, I am thrilled not to spend one more year obese.

Yay Sleeve!

      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.
