Do you know what's almost better then "Onderland"??



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone!

I have been overweight nearly my whole life. About a year ago, I hit all time high of 325 lbs. I looked at my son, and thought I have to do something! On September 16, 2010, I was sleeved by Dr. Morton in Nashville, TN. It was the best thing I have done for myself! I absolutely love my sleeve!

Now for the fun part!! I know everyone gets excited about being under 200! Don't get me wrong, I will be too, BUT I'm thrilled to be in the "200-teens"!! I'm down to 218 as of this morning!!! Yay! Only 19 lbs to "onderland"! I'll probably just pass out when I hit under 200!!

Stay tune!!!

      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. 🤞
