I always use the same "before" picture because I never really photographed myself when I was at my heaviest weights; which at times fluctuated up and down between 313 lbs. and 295 lbs. I never thought I would get out of that slump and thanks to my sleeve I have been able to accomplish so much in a little over a year.

Last year, before my surgery, I wondered if I would ever get out of the 200's. My surgeon told me that the sleeve surgery didn't guarantee 100% weight loss of my excess weight, and I was o.k with that because I figured any weight loss is better than none!. However, I did wonder if I would even make it below 200 lbs.

It's finally happened for me!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooooooo hoooooooooooo! I am so happy for myself.

Here are my before and after pics! :)

In the after picture I am actually 202 pounds but I look pretty much the same at 198 lbs. hehehe

Thanks MinaT. I just realized the first "after" picture didn't show my entire body. I have just modified it to show the actual photo size. hehe

      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. 🤞
