Hello Everyone ,

I was sleeved on August 21, 2012 . My start weight was 243 and I'm now done to 188. I am so disappointed with myself as I have not lost weight in 2 months. I'm so frustrated and don't know if this is normal to go this long with out losing. Any one out there in the same situation ??

Hi!! We are almost identical!! I started at 253, had surgery August 21, AND am now at 196. I was losing very slowly and i was ok w that, and then 2 months ago I stalled. Came to a grinding halt. About a week and a half ago it started to move again.

I refuse to be disappointed in myself. I am eating right and exercising. There's not much else that I CAN do.

My advice to you is don't give up. If you are following the program then eventually it has to work. It just has to!! Good luck.

Well I hope this weight starts coming off. I have to admit there's days were I don't get to drink as much Water and I have not started excising. So I will work on that and see what happens. I set a goal of 80 pounds when I got sleeved , I hope I would at least get to achieve it. I would like to hear back from the August sleevers what is your typical diet ? Perhaps I'm eating the wrong things or not enough of the right things ????

Hey, when I decided to do weight loss surgery I weighed 442 pounds, my first visit with Dr. Korn I weighed 435. My insurance required a six month supervised diet, at the end of that and the day of the surgery I weighed 370 Pounds. Today I weighed 235 pounds for a loss of 200 pounds since I started with Dr. Korn 135 pound since surgery and an overall loss of 207 pounds! I feel great! My goal was 220 pounds but the doctor thinks 202. I am starting to think he is right! :)

      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.
