Recommended Posts

I ask how much you have to lose because you have to remember that a person who is 230 pounds is probably NOT going to lose as fast as a person who is 330 pounds.

I had a BMI of 53 was 297# before surgery. I lost some prior to surgery and now after 9 months I am only 235-238#. It's so very frustrating and I moved to Tn and now no longer have support I had in Boston. I just feel like such a failure! And lookn at all the people I knew that had the surgery just like me around same time...ugghhh I'm once again "the ugly ducklin" in the bunch. Everyone has lost massive weight. I now have gotten so depressed that I no linger care...I have started back on sodas last week and just decided that maybe I'm meant to just be FAT!!

don't give up! you have come too far to stop now. surround yourself with "positive"! watch some positive movies and read some positive books. pray and read your bible. put on some music that fires you up. (like the Rocky movie songs) Now go kick some but and show the world that you CAN do 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. 🤞
