I know I'm personally at a loss. I feel like I just talked to him. He was doing great! Excited to start puréed foods! He was walking DAILY!!

We all know there are risks with having this surgery... And no one thinks it will happen to them....

No, we don't. We keep our eyes on the prize and are excited for our future thin selves. It sounds like he was doing everything right. This clot just happened suddenly to him? God, that's so sad.

We were all made aware of the risks associated with having wls, but kind of take them with a grain of salt. However, it is so very sad to hear that one of our vst family members succumbed to the risk. I say family because that is what we are. Although most of us have never met, this forum has in some cases been more supportive than some friends and family members. He like us all was looking forward to his new future with his new body. I don't know what to say, other than this is so tragic.

This is quite sad. Peace be with his family.

Is it customary for a member's presence to be deleted when they pass away? I wanted to read his past posts but can't find his profile.

I have no idea. I was checking Facebook and saw the news. I hope not, at least not for a while....

So heartbreaking! My prayers and thoughts for his family and friends. It is so easy to take this whole thing for granted if one has not had any complications! My heart is saddened at this news.

      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.
