4 Months Out, Still Have A Lot To Lose But I Feel Awesome!



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to give an update on my progress. Its been 4 months and I went from 247 on surgery day

to 194 (finally under 200!). I have been lucky to not have any complications, and I feel like a completely different person with more energy and more self esteem. I can finally shop in the little trendy stores instead of the special plus sized stores, and have more energy to keep up with my little boys (3 and 5). If anyone out there is contemplating having this surgery or not, all I have to say is this surgery is one of the best things that I have ever done, absolutely no regrets. Feeling great!!

I'm so glad you posted this today! I'm 3 weeks pre op and nervous I'm making a selfish decision because I'm a single mom of a 4 yr old, and the cost and recovery of this surgery is intimidating. I truly want to believe if I'm happy and healthy I will only be a better mom in the long run. Congrats and keep us updated!

      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.
