Thanks guys -- there are a lot of VSGers out there on YouTube including me -- for me, it's another way to make myself accountable and to kinda capture how I'm doing *that* day . . . speaking of which, I gotta do one today, I'm a day late! yikes! blink.gif

biggrin.gif Julie - I love your videos and as since I am pre-surgery It has helped me understand a bit about the emotions, challenges etc that I have ahead for me. You have been a mentor to me (and you may not even know that!). So thank you for sharing your personal journey with us!

Thanks so much Kim -- you really don't know how much that means to me -- so many people have been so helpful to me that I thought that I might be able to give back in a small way. Thanks and big hugs!

Just watched your latest Julie! I always enjoy watching your videos!

I admit to being a bit dense when it comes to youtube, but I didn't see the makeup link. I'm sure it's there and my brain and eyes are not connecting to see it. I used to never wear makeup, but a few years ago I went back to work part-time and decided it was worth it on work days. Then I decided I'm worth it all the time (there are still days however, when I go au natural.) So I don't consider myself a makeup junkie (my routine is about 5 minutes in front of the mirror) but I'm always interested in new tips and techinques!

Hey there Julie! I sat and watched all of your videos about 3 weeks ago (when I was 1 week post op and needing inspiration) and loved every one of them.

I will be catching up on all of your new videos a little later today.

Thank you so much for being so open and discussing even the minor things. Most people skip over so much and I truly enjoy how you talk about little details.

There have been a few other people that I have followed on You tube but your videos are BY FAR my favorite. :-)

Again I just want to say thank you and I look forward to catching up later today.

(I need a little inspiration again as I want to start my own Vlog but haven't gotten up the nerve to to it yet... haha)

I wish I could watch vlogs, but my stupid netbook just buffers...it's very frustrating..(doesn't help that I am technology illiterate). :(

I've become somewhat of a "youtube stalker" for VSG patients. I swear it's not as creepy as it sounds. I've just found that whenever I'm lacking confidence about my upcoming surgery it helps to watch other people who have been there!" One of my favorites is Maryposa1978. She's been really informative and updates every week as well. I recently started my pre-op blog, but I really feel self conscious because my face looks so fat in my laptops webcam...lol.

      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.
