Had surgery july 30th 2012



Recommended Posts

Just curious how people who had surgery 7 to 8 months out are doing? I lost 53 pounds since surgery. Before surgery I lost 38. Struggling now!

Around the 6 month mark I slowed down a lot. I was near goal but the weight kept coming off at a slower rate. You have done really good on your weight loss. CONGRATS! :)

I had surgery 8/31. Have lost about 55 lbs. only lost 6 since the new year. Still about 25 lbs from goal.

The scale isn't moving much these days but I can fit into as size 10 (started at 235 lbs sz 18/20) so I'm not too depressed about the scale.

Thanks! I'm at stall, haven't lost any more weight in a month. I trouble with head hunger! Going to a support group on it. Night time is a struggle!

I slowed way down too. I'm with you, struggling, but not giving up! Too close to give up!

It feels good to hear how others are doing that had surgery around same time. Not many sleeve people at hospital I had it done.

I agree with you! I'm not giving up, it just can be so frustrating. Really trying eat right, exercise, record what I eat and drink. All while trying to stop my self from eating when I'm not really hungry.

      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.
