THANK YOU for this thread!! I've just begun my pre-op process, and so many of these threads are terrifying! I appreciate all of you "complication-free" folks chiming in. It's nice knowing there are people out there thriving post-surgery.

Weight lost as of today is only 23lbs. I am averaging 600 cals and have been doing Water aerobics and cardio every day but have completely stalled with weight loss. Very discouraging....how are you doing?

Hello, Well now that your telling me your down 23lbs that is great for you!! but now im discouraged because im only down 16lbs as of today :( but im sure it will pick up, as far as a stall are you loosing inches? because everyone is saying you may stall in loss but you loose in inches.

Yes, I'm down from a size 26 day of surgery to a 22 today. So I guess I've lost some inches! My daughter had the same surgery in April and is down 60 lbs. She stalled until about the 2 month mark, then it started falling off her!! She's stalled again but this time isn't worried about it. She keeps telling me not to weigh myself daily, but its really hard not to!

      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.
