Your results are awesome! I had my surgery with Dr. Almanza on 5/10/13. Hopefully I will have similar results at 6 months.

Wow!!! That is beyond wonderful progress. Congratulations to you for your hard work.

I have been looking on this site for a couple of weeks now but just joined today because I'm sitting here driving myself crazy thinking I'm making a rash decision and not believing in myself that I can do this on my own.

The thoughts going through my head

I've lost before-I can do it again? But why do I gain it back and then some? I'm gonna kill myself trying to lose weight via surgery. Would I rather die trying to lose weight or die because I'm obese? Why am I thinking about dying? I don't have any serious health problems! I'm gonna get a blood clot. I'm losing my mind!

This is all me talking to myself and no I have no mental disorders :o This is my internal conversation these days and I'm just being honest.

This gives me hope that I am making the right decision for my future. I'll still be driving myself crazy until the morning of Oct 7th. Just hope I don't give myself a heart attack from stress because they'll still try to blame it on obesity. Jerks :)

      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.
