Fellow twin mamas with sleeves, awesome!

My DD is 17 and was 10 lbs at birth, my belly never recovered and my weight went up and down and up. Had twins June 12,2010. 120 kgs? ~ 250lbs?

Lost some weight on my own, 98 kgs at sleeve time so had lost just over 40 lbs with 8 months of 1200 calories a day and exercise 6 + hours a week.

sleeve was offered to me as a tool to help me make some real progress and maintain.

Sleeved june26, 10 days ago.. Can't wait to share some before and afters with u all!!

Okay I decided since I've been basically the same weight for the last 6 months, I might be "done" losing scary thought, BUT I'm not going to change my ticker yet, as I still have an aspirational goal that I would like to someday achieve.

But I finally am putting up my before/after shots...It truly is astounding to see the difference!! (Click on them to see them larger)

The rest are about a year post-op.

Wow. What a transformation!

I just have to say that everyone in this thread is amazing. I am getting sleeved soon and being ehre reading all these success stories are so encouraging to me. I take in all the advice and hints so that my loss will be successful post-op. I do have one question for those of you that have done so great.......what do you do to prefent all the gastly sagging skin? Is there a secret to help avoid it after surgery? I feel it is inevitible and I think God I have an awesome husband, but sure would like to not have to go through an additional surgery when all is said and done if there is something I can do to keep it from being so horrible. I expect some, but if I can help I want to do it with dedication. Another problem I have is I am 61 so that doesn't help I am sure, but I love to work out. After winning Atlanta's Biggest Loser in 2010 I learned how to work out effectively so I am not afraid of work. I weighed 269 when I started that competition and lost to 235. It was awesome, but I have gained 15 back since then, hense decided it is time to take drastic measures with the sleeve.

Any helps and hints are an added bonus to me.

      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.
