I can't believe the changes and how confident I feel. The top left is last week. The top right is two weeks ago and the bottom is when I started this journey to 3 months after surgery.

Hi all!

Haven't posted here in a while due to numerous family issues going on. I thank God every day that I had this procedure done when I did, because I'd probably never get around to doing it now. Being a part-time care-giver to both parents is exhausting and time-consuming, but I know they'd do it for me if they could.

I was 240 lbs. at my initial consult in November 2012; 233 lbs. pre-surgery in January (approximate size 18-20/XXL), and am now down to 170 (size 12/L). I'm about 10-15 pounds away from my goal weight, although to be honest... if my doctor told me that something went horribly wrong with my surgery, and this is all I would be able to lose, I'd be perfectly happy. This was truly a life-changing experience for me. I'd let myself go for so long, and it's nice to actually CARE about what I look like again. I'm even seriously considering an arm lift towards the end of the year (and I said I'd NEVER have another elective surgery for the rest of my life!). Already researching plastic surgeons and planning my 3 weeks off from work.

Like many of you, I've also experienced the dreaded hair fallout, and so this past weekend, I sucked it up and chopped my hair off into an oh-so-cute bob and I LOVE IT! It looks so much healthier now.

There have been a few tiny bumps in the road along the way, but nothing to ever make me say "Why the hell did I do this?" For the newbies just starting out - it's well worth it!

Thank you so much! I wasn't so enamored with the cut the first day, but once I came home and was able to style it MY way, I now love it.

      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. 🤞
