15 LBS FROM GOAL/SLOWER LOSER/NEW BOOBS!



Recommended Posts

Hi Everyone! Just wanted to check back in at 9 months post op to say life is FABULOUS! I had my sleeve in Aug 2012 and had a complication free experience. Aside from occasional nausea, I haven't experienced any real negative side effects. I work out 5 times a week with weights and cardio. I had a breast reduction and lift on Friday and I can't believe how amazing I feel. I started my journey at 5'6" 235 lbs. I'm now 160, with a goal weight of 145. I've attached updated pics, although they are pre breast reduction. So, now I look and feel slimmer. Anyhow, just wanted to share a positive, complication free experience. Dr. Mueller in San Diego is excellent! Good luck everyone! Oh and take your vitamins!!

What were the size of the girls before and after? I really want a reduction once I get closer to goal. Your body looks very well proportioned. Congratulations

Hi There! I was a 40 E before my sleeve, and a 36 DDD last month, before my reduction. They were also very saggy and lopsided. So, I'm guessing once swelling goes down I am a 36 C now. Dr said maybe a D until I lose my last 15 lbs but I doubt I'm a D. I'm SO thrilled!! If you go to realself.com you can see tons of people's journeys and pics.

I was going to wait too, by my Dr told me 20 lbs will hardly make a difference at all and that insurance may not cover it if I waited to lose even 5 more lbs, due to minimum tissue requirements.

You look amazing!! Great results from your hard work.

I too am 15 lbs from goal. I have a follow-up with my sleeve surgeon in 3 weeks - I will definitely ask for a recommendation to a plastic surgeon! Wouldn't hurt to go for a consult!

I'd like a TT & reduction/lift.

      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. 🤞
