Anyone with 180 pounds doing the sleeve?



Recommended Posts

average for a female at 5' is roughly 130ish. Figure out a weight YOU feel comfortable with and make that your goal. It is achievable if you do the work.. Don't expect the sleeve to be a fix it all.. it is a HUGE tool to help, but you have to work it for it to work for you.

You're 5 feet tall, 180 pounds, 35 BMI, and lost 7 pounds on a 10 day liquid diet, right?

I predict...65-70 pounds.

That'll be 20 dollars. :huh:

Kidding. :D

Thank you all for your feed back. I have a low back problem and I really need to lose those 50 pounds, i tried everything before. I have big confidence on myself that I will have the will power to do this change for life. Big day Monday so far ok with my 2 weeks liquid diet. Had many temptations not giving up!!

Don't panic about loosing a ton of weight on the liquid diet. You will lose some, but it's mostly to shrink your liver. Once you are sleeved, you will do great as long as you stick with it and make the best food choices you can..

I am 5'1" and 185 and I am getting sleeved on July 16th. I can't seem to loose more than 15pounds and I can't keep that off more than a few months at a time. I have lower back problems, SEVERE sleep apnea and hypertension.

My sister died at 24, she was 450+lbs, her sleep apnea caused her heart to enlarge and cause a heart attack in her sleep. Her autopsy showed all of that and the final cause of death was: morbid obesity.

I don't want to die and my family have to have an autopsy done because they don't know what caused my death, I don't want to die young, and I don't want my health to deteriorate sooner than it should. I am having this surgery and I believe it's the right thing to do!!!!

Wow, I am very sensitive and I am on tears right now...:-( I can relate totally with you, most of my family is obese too, I want to change that circle, and be able to move around ...my small son is only 9th and I don't play with him because of my back pain or take him to the park because my severe incontinence does not allow me to be outdoors I need a restroom every hour. Its so sad to be stock.. Hopefully this decision will help us to have a more enjoyable life..

      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.
