I knew that having the sleeve would help to loose weight but at 3 weeks out labs I am SHOCKED!!! From the first day my blood sugars have been between 70 and 80. (Very normal) I was boarder line diabetic at 140 before surgery. My blood pressure from day one has been 117 over 70 so I stopped my bp Meds until I saw the dr again. My cholesterol before surgery was 270 (high) but I had stop taking Meds 3 months before surgery b/c I ran out.

I went in for my 3week labs and was shocked in a great amazing way! I have lost 20# with 80# more to go. Dr said no Meds needed for high blood pressure or cholesterol. And I am no longer borderline diabetic. All my labs were NORMAL. I haven't seen normal labs in years! I wanted to loose weight with the sleeve but my main goal was to get my health back normal. I knew it would happen but instantly after surgery was a shock. I am so happy and feel so blessed right now! I just had to share.

      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.
