CONGRATS!!!! I hit 100lbs about 2 weeks ago! I started at 288 but was 277 the day I was sleeved!

Maybe 277 is lucky lol

Keep up the great work!! I hate running but I started kickboxing and I am about to start crossfit. Here is something crazy you need to do if you haven't already....in the gym, go pick up a 50lb dumbbell in each hand. You are now holding what you lost, and it feels so much heavier than it ever did on your body, but that is what we were carrying around! I can only imagine that all my bones and joints are cheering in relief :)

congrats again, such an accomplishment. What size clothes were you then/are you now? I have gone from 22 to a 10, although yesterday I tried on a skirt in a size 8...and it FIT!

Congrats on your achievement!! I am 100 lbs overweight and I often think how much easier walking up the stairs would be if I wasn't packing an extra 100 lbs. I'm sure you feel awesome!!

It's weird the way I look at myself now I still take pics of myself and send them to my friend to see if a outfit I want to buy looks ok. I see a smaller but still see a heavy me. I just went to a wedding and felt great! I wore a dress I never thought I would ever be able to wear and got many compliments but I was still self conscious about my stomach and arms. Tummy Tuck arm reduction and boob job in my future here!! Another 40 lbs and I will start with that. Here is the wedding pic. I don't have many pics of my whole body because I'm still that person that stands behind everyone in the pic.

I hear you...I am waiting till I lose the last 30 and then I will be looking into consultations myself. Luckily my Dr is pretty sure he will able to get insurance to pay to remove excess skin on my thighs b.c i already had a skin condition that warranted it. Now it will just be easier for them. I am definitely with you on the boob job and arm reduction/tummy tuck. My boyfriend thinks I'm crazy but it's like I've gotten this far I want to go all the way. I know it seems silly but I want to wear a bikini just once in my life!!!! I'm going to start calling the Dr each time my belly button gets irritated b/c of the lack of air due to the saggy skin. LOL get it on record and insurance may have to pay! Good luck!

      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. 🤞
