Thank you both! Its all so worth it! My starting weight was 333 and I am now 207. I would like to get down to 160 or 170. Im 5.9 so I am tall so idk 160 may be too small. No secret really lol...just working out...eating right and taking my Vitamins. One piece of advice I can give is I didn't really workout much the first 3 months because I was soo weak all the time which come to find out I was anemic but now the loose skin on my arms is pretty bad and drives me insane. Im small enough to wear cute tanks and dresses but don't want to because of my arms. So my advice would be to do just 5 pounds weights every single day if u can as soon as u can. Because once it gets bad its hard to get them to do back to normal. Goodluck with ur guy's journeys!

Thanks everyone! Yes I do feel great! I actually have no health insurance right now....my husband was let go from his job 4 days after my surgery so I haven't even been back to see my dieticians or surgeon. Which is horrible I know but so expsensive so pay out of pocket and only having my income it was impossible. So its been nothing but a struggle but he just got a call last week and is getting a job at a place he's been trying to get it for 6 months now and they offer really good insurance through there but we have to wait 90 days before getting it. Idk if they will cover skin removal or not but I think if I just keep working out it'll get better, hopefully. My stomach is kind of bad too...not horrible but I've also had one baby already so I have some loose skin from that plus plan on having more children so if I got it done it wouldn't be until im done having kids bc its just going to stretch out again. I don't mind it, and the only person seeing me naked is my hubby and he doesn't care lol haha. I don't plan to ever wear a bikini either lol.

      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.
