yes, its true!

i was sleeved december 20th, 2011.

i went through hell and back.

starting weight: 273lbs.

starting bmi: 51.6 (extremely obese)

jeans: 18-22.

todays weight: 156lbs.

todays bmi: 29.5 (overweight)

jeans: 4-8.

my ultimate goal is 135lbs.

since im 156lbs, my goals are:

155lbs.

149lbs.

145lbs.

139lbs.

135lbs.

this keeps me going and keeps me feeling accomplished! even though, every pound feels like a victory at this point!!!

after my experience with my leak, would i have this surgery again if i had to? F*** NO!

but am i happy that im sleeved and healthy? YES!

for those who are wondering about my leak... heres the story!!

i was sleeved dec 20th, 2011. had a swallow test the 21st, showed no leak. i was sick until able to eat soft foods in my 4th & 5th week. those 2wks, i felt amazing besides the fact i threw up bile 2x within those 2wks. nurse practioner scheduled another swallow test & i had a leak. i was hospitalized for over 2wks & was HORRIBLY sick! didnt eat for over a month & would throw up bile about 6-12x per day. i had 3 emergency procedures that month & i thought i was going to die as the drs kept using the F word... FATAL!

long story short, after removing the stent, i was so much better that instant! like god saved my life!!! and he did.

so overall, im down 117lbs & looking good. :)

      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. 🤞
