My 6 month checkup is Thursday. I'm a tad bit worried that my doctor will have expected me to lose so much more than I have:/ losing slow is good though

Well...as long as you have followed the guidlines he put forth and your body hasnt responded the way you thought it would you should be fine. Take a deep breath and smile and it will all be fine.

Remember the check up is a great opportunity to get the most out of your sleeve experience. Go in there offensively to ask as many questions to go forward the next 6 mos. to make a success for yourself. Your doc can be your best friend if you appreciate him/her in that way. The gifts will be to yourself. You are there for yourself and your self care, not for him so much.

I still have the surgery to go through. You and your doc have gotten this far together, Let your awesome journey continue.

I know that people who are more overweight, lose quicker. I started at 284 and I'm now at 223 or around that. I know Water weight can make it fluctuate also being on the monthly. I need to learn to only weigh once a week or even less lol I just can't!

      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.
