Good morning all!

Does Dutchess count as close? :) Dr. Cepeda at Tri-State Bariatrics did my surgery for my sleeve on Feb.12, 2014. I went for my monthly follow up on Friday and was given my 75lb pin-down now 82lbs! I have had NO issues and keep asking him if he really did anything. I love how I feel and enjoying this ride so far. Although no matter what weight you are-swim suit shopping is the pits! :D

So have a great rest of the weekend and see ya all around here!

Congratulations on your awesome success!!! I know Dr. Cepeda very well but it was before he was a bariatric surgeon. He is the one who had to amputate my daddys leg back in 2008 when he was still a vascular surgeon & he did such a perfect job on my daddy!!! He really is such a wonderful surgeon no matter what type of surgery he is performing! He also has great bedside manners & truly cares abt his patients & their well being!!!

Thanks! Dr. Cepeda was very good about answering all my questions and he really helped ease my mind about the surgery. He is one of a kind that's for sure!

      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.
