Boy have I been excited for this day to come! Tomorrow is my one year surgiversary. I have lost a total of 115 lbs from my highest weight, and 95 lbs since the day of surgery. I went from a size 22 to a size 6 (actually I'm wearing size 4 pants right now, but they're cut pretty big). I don't exercise as much as I should, and I have the flab to prove it, but overall, I have to say, I look DAMN GOOD!! My self-esteem has improved by about a thousand times, and I finally look like the person I feel like inside. I don't count calories or carbs, but I don't eat fast food either. I try to eat like a "normal" person, cooking at home more, choosing light things when I feel like it, but not depriving myself of the good things in life. Life is good, y'all.

Good luck to everyone out there.

      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. 🤞
