I was sleeved on August 24th. I wanted to share a video that a local TV station did about me. I am a singer/songwriter and they wanted to do a piece about my music. We started talking about my surgery and the impact it had on me. Hope you enjoy it!!!

I've been reading everyone comments and isn't it wonderful!!! I was sleeved 8/21/12, I'm down 93lbs!!! Went from a size 18/20 3x to a small/6 I feel fantastic, sometimes I can't belive it, my daughter weighs 58lbs and when I pick her up and try to walk with her I think to my self I walked around with this weight in me!! Good luck to everyone and keep up the good work! It truly is worth it!!!

my surgery was 8/30... started at 272... I hit normal BMI (160pounds) at 10 months, 1 week.... Im aiming for my 2nd goal of 140 pounds now.

I had a platic srgery consult recently... was told between my thoughs & belly, I have 5-10 pounds of excess skin. so getting rid of that should help some towards my final goal...

I don't know what I want to do. My surgiversary is August 17th... It is amazing how fast the year went by. I know I should have lost more but 100+# feels pretty good today! Hope my doc feels the same on my year visit;-)

I haven't figured out what I'm going to do. I was hoping to be down 100 by then but I am so happy with the 92 so far. I'm not ready for new clothes yet. I'm thinking maybe I'll try to walk/jog a 5k next month.

I am going to put myself on a strict Protein Shake diet until the 24th.thats my one year surgiversary. So I will be starting as soon as I'm able to grocery shop and buy my shakes. Which will be in a couple days. I've been ranging between134-138lbs with Water weight. I want to get down to 130 now so I won't die every time I get close to 140 because of water weight.

I was sleeved on 8/5 . I haven't lost too much and I know I have been eating too much and the wrong foods. I was going out to eat like before surgery . Not eating as much but would have egg drop Soup 4 shrimp a bite of an egg roll ect. Another day 4 spare ribs and 3 waffle fries. Now I see iv only lost 21 pds and 4 weeks out. In my mind I was saying if I chew it really well it is considered mushy food. -Not - Starting tomorrow I will be back on track and had this for a reason. Not sure why I do this to myself. Tomorrow will be a better day.

      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.
