I Had my first appointment with sleeve surgeon!



Recommended Posts

I broke down in tears during my appointment !

Doctor weighed me , measured my height and told me that I was 35 BMI .

My life came flashing back ... All those years of being self conscious of my weight .., embarrassed at school .. Dropped out of dancing classes ( because everyone was slim and perfect ) settled for looser boyfriends ext ..

My surgeon saw and felt my pain and told me that I am a good candidate .

Having surgery in October .

Booked in !

I know family , husband will question the safety of surgery but for once in my life I know that nobody will influence me to not go ahead!

I am always influenced by people ( softy) always scared to voice my words in fear I will be judged on my weight !

I want to be free .. I

I want to loose excess fat and have no concerns that people will comment on my weight ( as if it is my fault for being fat)

I just want to be fit and normal weight .

I have a right to be skinny and so do all other overweight people !

I am seeing past the fat and excess weight now !

I will conquer and claim my right to be fit !

Thank god for gastric sleeve !

Bless the surgeons !

Good for you. Several of my co workers have had vsg surgery. Their relationships didn't last. I was engaged until a few weeks before my surgery. We had not been getting along and I wanted a fresh start with my weight loss. Seems like this really tests a relationship!

      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.
