I feel fabulous! I have had such an easy time. Only issue I have is reflux. I still have to take Prilosec. But so long as I do I'm all good.

I feel good about myself in ways I never did before. And some days I even feel sexy. (Yes we men feel that stuff too)

Wowsers!!! You really look amazing. You oughta go on over to the thread about how it feels to be attractive to the opposite sex ALL THE TIME!!!! They probably wanted the feminine point of view but a man's view point would be refreshing to hear.

You look GREAT, trim and athletic! Congratulations on your new life! I wish I didn't want to eat anymore and didn't care about food but, alas that doesn't seem to be the case for me. However I am somewhat less food-obsessed than I was pre-surgery. Not sure how much of it is psychological vs physical in my case. Anyway, I am trying to become an exercise junkie instead of a foodaholic! LOL!

pre-surgery weight 325; surgery date 2/28/2013; surgery weight 307; 8 weeks past-op weight 281.4; 12 weeks post-op 274; 4 month post-op 266.2; 5 month post-op 262.6; 6 month post-op 253.2

Dude, you should feel sexy every day. You definitely are. Love how you are muscular but not "bulgy" like someone one on steroids. Very proportionate muscle mass. Congratulations!

What an inspiration you are!

I'm just starting this journey - had my consult last week. Sucking the marrow? I'm all over that one - got a tattoo a couple weeks ago to remind myself. Guess I'm ready then, huh?

      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.
