You look amazing! Tell how did you get those arms so toned? I have large arms and that is one of my concerns

I do have some excess skin on my arms, belly, and thighs, which is why my arms are covered in the second to last photo because I don't like the way it looks in pictures. My dr said that my excess skin is not as bad as it could be because I do a lot of exercising, weight training and always getting in all of my liquids and Protein in everyday. He says that I may not end up with much excess skin at all if I keep doing what I'm doing because it takes up to 2 years before the skin is done shrinking. I'm just really good at hiding my excess skin. I have noticed here lately that I don't have as much as I did a couple months ago. I also use a high moisturizing lotion everyday, sometimes twice a day if I remember. Hope this helps.

Great Job! How many days a week do you exercise?

Thank you, I try to workout at least 5 days a week. Most of the time I do, but sometimes I don't. Just depends what I got going on. I'm fixing to start training to do a half marathon in April.

You look amazing! It gives me such hope. I would be happy just to get down to 185. I'm at 331 right now, haven't been sleeved yet. Your photos give me hope that I'll make it.

      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. 🤞
