Congratulations! I'm new to this site. I had my surgery in 2011 so happy I did it but sometimes wonder why I waited.

Congratulations! I does really depend on your build. I am just a little over 5'2" and at 138 lbs and feel great. I wear a size 4 or 6 depending on brand and wouldn't want to lose anymore as I am already boney in my shoulders and chest an wouldn't want to look any more boney!

I had surgery June 30' date=' 2012 in Mexicali by dr Aceves my stats are 5'0 & starting weight 200lbs as of jan 30, 2013 I met my goal of 130lbs. I feel amazing so all of you slow low Bmi'ers don't give up hope. My only regret is not doing this sooner.

I just started my journey a few months ago after a long year of deciding if I should do it. I kind of wish I decided sooner! Congrats!!

      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.
