I had my surgery at Fresno Heart and Surgery Center. Lately I have been falling into bad habits again and would like to team up with someone around 6 months out and get back on track. Can anyone help me? I did great for the first 4 months and have lost like 55#. But nothing since.????

Hi there! I'm from California too. I got my surgery in San Jose with Jossart almost a year ago. Sorry were so far away but you can reach out to me if you need anything. Congrats on surgery and good luck. It is an adventure.

Hi! Thank you! That's awesome! I hadn't been able to find anyone else who had/is used/using him!

How was your surgery recovery? How did your sleeve hold up? Have you lost much? Did he have you do the milk of magnesia and Prilosec OTC before surgery too? He says that they will really help with how I feel afterwards. Thank so much!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
