So I had my 3 month check up and surprisingly my labs looked pretty good! I totally expected them to look funky, I am the queen of forgetting to take my Vitamins. My Vit D was low but I am getting a prescription for someone I need to take once a week for 12 weeks to deal with that. My good cholesterol was a little low and my bad cholesterol a little high but I was assured it would look better as I get more energy to start exercising more. Also they did a parathyroid intact and it was high but he said everything else looked good so he is not worried.

The decision was made to go ahead with one more scope, I am still getting that stuck feeling daily and usually once a day I get the intense pain feeling that landed me in the hospital last time *sigh* Hopefully it is just a stricture that can be easily ballooned open.

All in all he said I was doing really good and the weight is still coming off pretty good to so that is exciting :) Nothing fits anymore, Im down from a very tight size 20 to 12/14 and a 1X to a Large, sometimes a medium :) I am almost all the way through my "skinny" clothes that have not even fit me in who knows how many years so off to the thrift stores I shall go this week to find some to get me through ;)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
