your look great, keep up the good work.. glad to see it..

Hi everyone! I'm a little over 6 months out and down 75lbs so I thought I'd post some pictures :) I'm really happy with my VSG. My weight loss has been creeping along the last few months so I have been doing low carb and it's going great. I feel much better on it! Just last week I started rowing! I have NEVER EVER done a sport. I even wear spandex <choke>. I went to Dollywood two weeks ago and rode the rides. Sex is great, life is great, I look great (in my opinion)! I'm loving my VSG!!!

/blush Thanks everyone. I started out at 276 and then loss 5lbs before surgery so 271 on day of surgery. 70lbs lost since surgery and I'm a couple weeks ahead of you Mommy2girls so we are about the same. I'm 5'6" too :) My weight loss is about 8lbs a month now hopefully I'll boost that up with rowing and I'm going to start working out. I have .8 to get to 199...I was 199 when I was in the 8th grade. I can't wait to be in onederland!

Wow I never realized how similar in stats you and I are. Same height, same BMI - I only have one pound to Onederland, you tiny less than. I was 272 on surgery day, you were 271... and our surgeries are about 3 weeks apart. Though I was 281 at the start of my pre op diet.

So funny because when I see how well you've done I don't even put it into perspective that we are so similar. It just always seems like everyone's far above me. I don't compare for the most part, but it's just funny that I don't give myself the credit... ya know?

That's crazy!! Anyway, just thought I'd mentione this. ;)

Thanks everyone! It's so odd to put that I weigh 198. One anything is crazy!

@Diva- I did notice how simular we are :) I can't help but compare myself. Unintentionally I set the same July 4th goal as you. I look at your pictures and I think, man she's skinny. It's odd how we don't see ourselves clearly.

      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.
