Recommended Posts

Hello,

I love all my rainbow sleeves, but we know different races experience different issues. I was sleeve October 1. Started at the highest 260, surgery day 250 and currently 222. I did not have Major issues. Normal but my 2 month anniversary is December 1. The only thing I notice so far,hiccups when I'm full. My skin is looking great, hair cannot tell u cause I keep it braided and sewin(lol) I don't do beef or pork, chicken and turkey has been my friend. I stay on my period longer cuz I suffer from fibros. I will keep u guys updates.

Hello, I also suffer from Fibroids, I will be sleeved on Dec 16 2013. I wonder will the fibroids slow down my weight lost or will i have a hard time losing belly fat?

Hello All, can anyone recommend which brand of chewable vitamins that they are taking?

I'm taking optisource. They're $28 at Walgreens for a one month supply, however, you may be able to download a coupon for like $5 off from their website. You have to take four of them but they're orange flavored and actually taste ok.

Hi all! I've got my psych appt tomorrow morning! I'm ready to get it over with. Been going through some strong emotions anticipating how to handle the folks that will "change up" on me after I lose the weight. Did anyone treat you "nicer" or more like a lady when you lost? I really don't want to hold any grudges, but it's difficult to go from invisible to visible just bc of loosing weight. This does not include everyone of course. Is this the kind of stuff I should share at my appt tomorrow or is the focus more about if I'm mentally ready to change my eating habits?

People will treat you different. People will smile and speak to you. Last night I saw it. I have not nearly gotten down, I'm only two moths and notice. You cannot get wrapped up in other people when u going through this. You should concentrate on reason u are mentally ready to Change for a better healthy life just my opinion. Good luck!

      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. 🤞
