I Had Vsg _____ Ago, And I've Lost _____ Lbs.



Recommended Posts

Please complete these statements:

I had VSG _____ (days, weeks, months, years ) ago, and I've lost _____ lbs.

When I started, my goal was to lose ______ lbs, and I am ____ tall.

I know a thread like this has been done in the past, but it's sort of buried these days. Plus, I'd rather see how far away you are from surgery (rather than knowing the date of your surgery), so I don't have to calculate the duration myself. :)

I'd also like you to complete the second portion, as I think that will help put it all into perspective.

I'm not comparing myself to you, I know, I know, but there's got to be an average or something out there, right?

I'll start:

I had VSG -7 days ago (March 27th) , and I've lost 2 lbs (on pre-op diet).

When I started, my goal was to lose 40 lbs, and I am 5'6" tall.

Thanks everyone!

I had VSG 3 years (days, weeks, months, years ) ago, and I've lost 150 lbs.

When I started, my goal was to lose 190 lbs, and I am 6-0 tall.

Also, that 190 lbs was my own personal goal, (would have brought my weight to 170lbs) my doctors goal for me was to weigh 212 lbs, which i surpassed by 12 lbs. . now i am maintaining beautifully between 200 - 215lbs. . . very proud of myself

      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. 🤞
