Good question Pasquini...why ARE you holding on to it? This is not like before when you lost weight and then needed those bigger sizes because you gained it back again. Our sleeves are like FAT insurance. They won't let us eat like we used to and all that weight you have lost is truly lost this time. Lost ...as in...not going to EVER find it again! Getting rid of all those too big clothes made room in my closet for the skinny clothes I had been saving! I did save 1 pair of size 20 pants...just as a reminder of how far I have come. But being a seasoned thrift shopper, I know it can be hard to find those bigger sizes in decent shape. All the best to whomever gives my too big clothes a new home. Moving on and not looking back!rolleyes.gif

YAY! I've taken a few myself. In fact, my husband was just standing in our closet looking at my side. He made a comment about how I've taken 3 bags full and my closet is STILL busting at the seams. My excuse is that I have to be "creative" with the combinations since I don't particularly like a lot of it...but refuse to go buy new stuff in this "temporary" size. :P

      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. 🤞
