I was down 45 pounds from surgery day at my six month mark.... I also lost 50 pounds in the three months PRIOR to surgery so that my body had already had that initial big loss period prior to surgery... AND I'm eating a lot more calories than many sleevers so that contributes to my slow loss also... but as long as it's SLOW LOSS and not NO LOSS, I'm happy.

60lbs since surgery, 75lbs since the pre-op. I wanted to lose about 108lbs from my pre-op or 100lbs from surgery. So about 60% weight loss which is considered the average for this surgery in the final count. If I get to 80%, I will be happy and consider myself at goal as I will be under a BMI of 30 and that is the "goal" for my doctors.

      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. 🤞
