You said it! What are your stats (age, height, weight)? I am 28, @ about 250, and 5'5". I've had 4 kids (one set of twins and a singleton in the past 2 years!). Have been big my whole life but lost down to about 150 twice in my life. It never lasted longer than a yr or so though and I was miserable (starving and exercising like crazy, throwing up and all tht bs)

Okay lol I thought so but then you saying 6'1' kind of threw me. Not that there aren't tall women, but I don't know a ton of 6'1" women. Well, im babbling. Haha! So where do you live? Im in georgia.

And yeah...weight creeps on. People always say you don't wake up fat...but you kind of do. You kno you're gaining weight, but it doesn't really hit you until one day. You wake up and its like "holy ****, I weight -______ amount. My clothes don't fit. What have I done?!"

Hey! Have you got your plane ticket yet? If so what airline do you pick. I'm flying out of ATL and can't find any "cheap" flights

I do have tickets (2, one for hubby). They aren't cheap at all! I don't get sky miles or anything like that. I think I got them on expedia for like $580 ballpark figure. So about 1200 for two tix. Very expensive (to me).

Oh, and im going direct via delta. The only other options were insane layovers and it wasn't a whole lot more expensive direct.

      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. 🤞
