How are all the Middle East sleevers doing? I'm happy to say my weight is still dropping slowly but steadily, am down 24kgs now. My main problem now is the darn hair loss has started- I feel like I'm shedding like a dog. Aaaargh!

Are you not working?hehehe!

Im stalling but am down 105.3 now.Still drinking too much milk every day,in the tea.Playing squash twice a week,pilates reformer twice a week and still wobble like a jelly fish!

My hair seems to have stopped falling out,or less at least but I cannot see new growth.Am looking with a magnifier and no,there's nothing!What's up with that?

I wish i did my surgery with dr.Faruq so I could have gone to his support group.Need more contact with fellow losers..lol

Hows the eating going at work?

Am scheduled for surgery on December 13 with Dr. Al Taie (decided to change surgeons after meeting with Smoggy and, then, consulting with him directly. Three incisions and one drain tube are a lot better than five and two respectively, and, besides, he doesn't require a preoperative diet B) ).

Congratulations on the continued weight loss Smoggy. I thought you looked great when we met three weeks ago.

Lol - I was off school with a bug!

Wow you are going GREAT! I would love to see you!

Eating at work is fine - I wangled it so I don't have duties over lunch. Only problem is the kids must think I need fattening up or something- they keep bringing me treats like cupcakes and donuts. Mostly I pass them on but occasionally they do get past my lips!

Will call soon :)

Hi Mason, well I'm still not quite there- an inspector at work asked me if I was pregnant today! Lol - she was horrified when I said no!

I'm sure all will go well on the 13th, will pass that onto our mutual friend who has now decided on Al Noor too. ...

      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. 🤞
