Wow you look fabulous! This is inspiring! Glad to hear you are happy about your decision! I had

Surgery 3 weeks ago with 246 as my surgery weight. I hope I can do the same. Did you work out alot?

Yes I go to a bootcamp 3 nights a week. It has really helped define my arms.

I slowly shed those last fifteen (to my goal) after one year post op' date=' too, so it's definitely possible! It's much more painfully slow once you have less to lose (or was in my case) but it can happen if you keep working at it.

You look great, congrats on your one year and also on your success in that year!

Yes the weight loss has slowed down significantly at this point. But I'm so close to my goal and I know that eventually I will make it. I am looking into getting a Tummy Tuck in a couple of months also...my stomach is not pretty lol.

Feeling bad. I'm 4 and a half months out and I've lost only about 56 pounds. Several year prior I had the band lost 120 pounds. But four years later I had to take it out because I had hernia. Soon after my weight began creeping up then I got pregnant. 312 post gastric sleeve four plus months I'm down 56 pounds. I feel like unsuccessful and that my weight losd is on a slow progression:(

Don't feel bad you are doing great. My average is less than 10 lbs. a month. Just keep at it and you will eventually get to your goal. 56 pounds in 4 months is really awesome!!

Thanks for the update! I weigh 243lbs. right now. So it is kinda neat to see where you started, is where I am now. I am 5'3" inches tall. This pic was taken at my doctors office. I took my cardigan off to get a true look of what I looked like.

I can't wait to hit 150lbs.!!! Thanks again for your help!

      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.
