Good Grief! You look fantastic but I have to ask... how on earth did you lose almost 100 pounds in only four months? I know I've read other similar posts but' date=' man, my surgery was on Nov.23 (just a few days after yours) and I'm only down about 37 pounds. I know we all lose differently along with having different stats. I'm 47 years old, 5'9'' tall, and started at 250 pounds. Frustrating but I know it'll eventually come off.

Congrats again on your wonderful accomplishment.

I am similar... I am 50, 5'8" and started out at 241 lbs... I had surgery 2/18 and only lost 20lbs so far. I assume those of us who aren't so young will lose slower... We've had more time to damage our metabolism too!

I'm the same starting stats as you except I'm 44. My surgery is Monday and I will be thrilled if I loose 20 pound in the first month...that's amazing!

This may be too personal. But you look to be close to my age. I'm 24. And I have 20 more lbs til onederland. I'm wondering how bad excess skin is right now? I'm hoping because I'm still young it won't be too bad. Did start at a higher weight. 330 lbs and am at 220 today. I understand if this is a too personal question.

You're right, we're about the same age- I'm 23. And feel free to ask me any questions, I am always super honest and open. Excess skin hasn't been an issue for me. I do have a small amount of looser skin to my lower abdomen and arms, but I am confident that ill be able to tighten up a lot at the gym! You are also doing wonderfully with your weight loss!! 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. 🤞
