I am going to visit family in another state this weekend. When I got sleeved in May, I set a goal of being in the 170's by the time I went on this trip. I made it!!!! I am SOOOO happy and excited! This will be my first time flying since surgery. I am looking forward to not spilling over into the seat next to me!

Living the dream!,

Wow Laura, you are rockin that sleeve! Enjoy your vacation - you've earned it!

We are really close in surgery dates and weights. My surgery was 5/17 and my surgery weight was 222. I'm currently 186.7. I hope to catch you in the 170s soon! One goal I've set for myself is to to lose 10% of my body weight in months 2-3 post-surgery. I lost 10% in the first month (From 222 to 200) and now I need to get to 180 by August 17 to reach my next goal. You've inspired me!

I am SO looking forward to everyone's reactions. I lost 17 before my surgery so I am actually down 57 since they have seen me. I feel so good. Thanks for the encouragement everyone. My heart is overflowing with goodness today!!

Living the dream,

Laura

      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.
