I'm getting ready to run a couple of errands close to the house and depending on the roads will determine if I would make it tomorrow or not :). But I could use the break from the house and kids lol

KC SLEEVERS....please let me know if you would rather keep tomorrow or reschedule for a week from tomorrow.

My street has not been cleared well due or stupid people leaving their cars on both sides of the street:( I would rather go next week, that's just my vote. of course I am a wimp when it comes to driving in snow. So I may not be able to come tomorrow but I hope I can make the next one. How often to you all meet up?

I wish I could come but it is my son's birthday party tomorrow. I am a Mexico sleever so it would be fantastic to meet up with other vsg-ers in my neck of the woods. I had surgery 10 months ago and have lost 186 lbs and am just a about 6 lbs to goal. It would be great to talk to people who understand and who have been through the same thing. How far out is everyone? Anyone in maintenance? Cant wait for the next meet up!

Holli,

You are an amazing success story!! An inspiration. Husband and I are a year out. He lost 100 and me 65. Then....hernia surgery and total shoulder replacement for him, and losing stopped. I quit going to the gym due to chronic reinjury.I have 25 more to go, he has 40-50. Now we are back in the swing. But I struggle mentally. My hunger never left, his did. This surgery is awesome and you have kicked butt! Bikerchick comes to meetings and she is in maintenance and looks/feels great. Please come to the next one. I will post date. Lisa

Lisa, Thanks so much for your reply. You and your husband are quite a success as well! How cool, a husband and wife team. I bet your grocery bill is next to nothing! It would be great to meet everyone.. and for me, especially those out a little further.

      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. 🤞
