7 months post-op With Pics



Recommended Posts

Good Morning all of my Sleeve family. I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know that today is my 7 month post op and I wanted to share some before and after with you. This ride has been a crazy one and I am grateful for this forum and all of the people that have given me support when I needed it. You are all family to me and I am so incredibly blessed to have the support and encouragement. So lets start with the stats...

March 7 2011

I entered a cold hospital scared out of my mind and I was seriously having second thoughts at 245 pounds. Dr. David Kim came to meet with me in pre-op and assured me that he would take care of me. That was the last moment in my life as a obese person. I awoke from surgery and had a panic attack. I think that we all have a rocky start. This is when my new life began.

7 months I am proud to say I am currently at 175 and still walking the vsg journey. My health is much better and my confidence in myself and my body image has changed considerably. I am currently wearing size 12 to size 10 jeans and walk with a bit of pep in my step...you guys know that walk I am talking about...

So on with the photo whoring....

Wow! Congratulations, you look amazing!

Your sleeve surgery day is the same as my husbands (it also happens to be his birthday...hey he knew what he was doing when he picked his day...his gift to himself!) but anyway, I wanted to say he has lost the same amount of weight as you have! And they say men lose faster...ha! Great job...keep up the good work!

      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
