Thank you so much!! Its was an Awesome decision for me. I lost my 19 year old sister in an automobile accident 3 years ago and really packed the weight on. I am happy and she would be very happy for me also. Good Luck to you!!

I would do it again! I've lost 28lbs since sleeved 11/16. That's the most I've lost in the past 7 years& I'm under 200lbs for the 1st time in 8 yrs. those are major victory for me. I had internal bleeding, fell, ruptured a lap site& lost half my blood. Big whoop. That's a relatively small complications ( take it from me the surgical nurse). I feel fantastic. Even though I did not have the optimal experience everyone else described, I didn't lose 40lbs in a month. I still have to work for it, but I would never have kept these pounds off or had Portion Control or satiety without the surgery.

Absolutely I would, no questions asked. I have zero regrets, other than not doing it sooner. I actually was going to do it this time last year and I chickened out and decided I needed more time to think about it. I wish I hadn't have waited but I'm so glad I finally did it.

The hardest thing for me has been the head hunger. The sleeve fixes your tummy, but it does not fix your head and that to me has been the absolute hardest part of this and something I know I will always have to work at.

Yes I can it was not negative just what does not listen to so many other people and compare myself to them everybody is different and also I had to realize that I was addicted to food not that I didn't know I had a problem but I didn't know how serious it was

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
