Mmmm cheesecake.. lol my downfall though is chips! I don't discriminate.. I love them all.. lol but I'm assuming I won't be able to eat those for a while or ever again... I go into a crazy zone when I'm eating my chips.. and nobody better throw off my groove.. I'll hurt ya! hahaha :P

Omg I was just thinking that chips and dips is what I'm gonna miss the most!

I'm glad to know it is possible. I'm 5'1" and started at 279. I want to be between 130-140, and my doctor said 160 was more reasonable.

Boy, my body stuck at 160 exactly for nine stinking weeks! It didn't want to move past what had been a previous low weight. But I hung in there and kept on and eventually broke through it. I think I blew through the 150s in only four weeks. So what I'm saying is keep going and it happens. There's absolutely no reason you can't keep going as long as you like, until 100% of your excess weight is gone. Once your sleeve is a year old, it's as big as it's getting.

Good luck! I'm sure you'll blow past your doctor's more conservative goal if you work at it.

So I am 6'3 and started at 431. I am currently at 343. I picked 230 but would be ok at 250. When I was 22 y/o and running I weighed 210 and could count all my ribs. I am pleased so far. Hopefully some more guys will chime in.

      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. 🤞
