7 Months and Feeling Like a Success



Recommended Posts

Wow, you look fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing photos. I am the same height, and I can't even imagine being that tiny. Congrats on the amazing weight loss!

Same height here and have NEVER, even in high school, been able to wear smaller than a size 7. Some women are just so DAGNABITALL lucky! FANTASTIC job on your success!!!!!!!!!

Okay.. I wanna be you right now.. I can't wait to be tiny!! Very inspirational.. so how much did you lose in total in the 7mths??

55 lbs, but I lost most of it in the first 4 months. These last few months, I've probably only lost 10 lbs, but have gone down several sizes.

It was a tough decision - especially since I revised only 9 months after having my band installed. But once I got it in, and wasn't losing weight (and having such difficulty with fills and restriciton), I started researching other options. When I found the success that everyone had with the sleeve, I was blown away.

I went to MX for both surgeries, but with different doctors. I thought I was crazy paying so much money for surgery in one year, but guess what? I'm SO happy I did it. If I hadn't, I'd still be exactly like I was in my before picture .

Hi there,

You look wonderful!!! I too had surgery with Dr Rod, I am 6 months post and have lost 72 pounds and im very happy as well.

How much weight have you lost with the sleeve??? My weight loss seems to be taking forever!

I lose maybe 2 pounds a week and not sure why, I exercise but just slow weight loss. what are you doing to make the weight come off???

How much can you eat now in one setting???

I've lost 55 lbs in 7 months, but most of it came off in the first 4. I'm still getting smaller each month even though I'm not really losing weight. it's odd how that works, but I'm not complaining.

      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.
