So in the last couple of days I've had some WOW monents, I wanted to share with you all........before surgery I was wearing a 4x pants to work this morning I put on a pair of 2x pants. Yesterday I walked to the grocery store up the street from my job which is up a hill and I had to walk up about 30 steps. I'm so proud of myself and happy as well.

Awesome!!!

I've gotta tell ya, with the whole weight loss journey - it's the NSV's that keep me moving along more than checking the scale. Keep up the excellent work!! :) Keep sharing your successes with us too! It keeps me even more motivated!

My insurance didn't cover my operation, but due to where I live, I was able to have the sleeve done in Lima, Peru for $5,000. Losing weight has bought me my freedom back. Freedom to smile again and feel good about getting out. I had my surgery last month and down 35 pounds, BMI was 40, now it is 34, so I am on my way. I say WOW every day. Great job everyone. Your stories inspired me my first two weeks, when post-op wasn't so much fun as now!

      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.
