Hi Everyone!!!

I know I have been a bit MIA for awhile but a lot has happened in the last 2 months since I've been on VST. So for those of you who do not know me, I am the group creator, Sarah. I had my sleeve done on 8/26 and as exactly 3 months later I am down a total of 56lbs. In September I started working, then 2 weeks later we got orders saying we were leaving in Nov so I quit lol. Well most of you know how fickle the Army likes to be, my hubby went for training the whole month of October and while he was out there his orders got cancelled and pushed back till January. So Lord only knows when we will actually be moving, but I do know that we are going to Fort Bliss. I know we have been a bit inactive in the group for awhile but I would really like to get some more activity in here. Also I am looking for someone else to co-own the group, so if you are interested send me a PM and we can get you on board! I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and you all remembered to nibble nibble, rather than gobble gobble!!! Onward to Christmas (or Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or whatever fantastic winter holiday you prefer ;) I hope everyone is having a safe time, and didn't get trampled too hard on Black Friday :)

Happy Holidays!!

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

I am also at Fort Lewis. Thanks for the post it has been a little quiet here but I just joined two weeks ago. I'm still waiting for my surgery date, the process is so long but well worth the wait. Take care and happy packing to Fort Bliss, TX.

Thanks! I know the pathways program can be a little frustrating, but if you're anything like me, it will seem like it's d....rrraaaaagggginnnnngggg by lol. But once you're actually in that hospital bed, you're like OMG it's finally happening!!! Lol! Best of luck to you!!! Do you have a surgeon yet, or have you just been to the seminar?

      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.
