I celebrated when I dropped under 200 lbs, too! I had despaired of ever being able to lose that weight before the surgery! Congratulations! I know how good it feels.

ONEDERFUL!!! I can't wait to join you...For me, there has always been something particularly humiliating about being over 200 pounds. I know that fat is fat...and there isn't a lot of difference between 199 and 201--but in our hearts and minds, there is a huge difference. Congratulations that you won't ever have to see those numbers again!

Isn't that the truth! I can still remember the sinking sadness and shame I felt when I first saw a scale show me a number over 200. It has been so long since I was south of 200 I genuinely cannot recall if it has been 11 or 13 years. It has been 15 years since I wasn't fat though.

Congratulations to you!!!!! Great job! How exciting that must feel . . . I can't wait to hit 199! that seems like a really far away place for me, I'm losing really slowly, but heck look how much i've already lost in 8 months! Can't beat that so i'm happy. . . it'll eventually get there, like i preach all over this forum, "Rome wasn't built in a day either"!

      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.
