Another 21kg loser here! I saw my surgeon yesterday' date=' 10 weeks post op. 21kg includes my 2 weeks pre surgery.

Last time I lost that much, it took me a year.

This is awesome.

Everyday is still a learning process as to what I can and can't eat. I still need to train myself to eat slowly and chew thoroughly.[/quote']

We done Nessa. I am finding eating more slowly and chewing the most challenging aspect.

Yes, eating slowly and chewing is really a challenge. I hope it will eventually become second nature but I feel it is going to take a looooong time!

This is so weird, I have been trying to call my surgeons office for 3 days and no answer! I'm trying to make final payment for my surgery and book it in formally for the 11th September but have now missed the cut off! The receptionist I spoke to last week said she was away this week- however they still had the other receptionist on so call back on te Monday an we will book u in. Guess maybe not!!

      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.
