Congrats. I had the laser eye treatment for short sight and astigmatism nearly 15 years ago now and I still don't need glasses. I don't have 20/20 vision because of the astigmatism that gradually comes back to some extent but it's good enough. Sometimes I feel like a marvel of late 20th/early 21st century medicine!!! That and the VSG. No cosmetics yet and I am not sure I will bother as I am alrerady nearly 53 and whatever I do I will still be wrinkly. Luckily I don't have major problems with excess skin.

Congratuations. What an accomplishment. Reading what your worries were at the beginning reminds me of my own insecurities. I'm looking forward to one year. I was sleeved January 5th. I've lost 25.5 lbs since surgery. I'm stuck at 184 now. Sometimes when I am in a stall, I worry that that is IT! And that I won't lose anymore. You give me hope.

Congratulations - what a wonderful year it's been! Great job! Also, I had lasik surgery several years ago - LOVE IT! Second best thing I've ever done for myself. ;)

      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. 🤞
