I feel BLESSED!!!!



Recommended Posts

4 weeks ago today I was being checked into the hospital. I was apprehensive, but confident in my decision to have the sleeve. I knew this was what had to happen in order for me to get my life back. I was tired

of dieting and pretty much resigned myself to being OVERWEIGHT,OBESE, MORBIDLY OBESE. Then I found this tool and I am working it to the fullest.

At the present time I have lost a total of 46 pounds which started on Aug. 3rd {pre op diet for 2 weeks}. So that's like a little more than 1 pound a day. WOO HOO!!!! :thumbup::w00t:

I love this tool, I LOVE MY SLEEVE!!!!! One of the best things to happen to me ever. I FEEL TOTALLY ABSOLUTELY BLESSED. GOD IS GOOD!!!! PEACE.

It is truly a blessing to be able to feel so good about the sleeve, your body, the changes, the whole process! I understand what you are feeling, things that you probably never felt prior to the surgery. It is like being given a second chance to have a life you should have had all along. Grats on your weight loss as well.

Amen! Isn't he? I remember the first things out of my moms mouth after she watched me stop breathing during my first pre op, they led her back into the room and she says praise god, god is good she said she was down the hall pacing and thanking god for what he was already doing for me.

I went back I had the surgery I have hit some mental rough spots but now I know things are exactly how they were meant to be.

Amen is right! I am so happy for you and can't help but think of the people who aren't able to have this surgery. It is certainly a blessing for those who benefit from it!

      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.
