Hi my name is Summer and I just had my rny surgery on 01-11-12. I'm 26 years old and have been married for almost 9 years, we have 3 children two of which are twins (boy/girl) they are almost 7 and our youngest is almost 5. I haven't always been overweight my whole life I started gaining weight once I took birth control and then with each one of my children added more pounds on. At my heaviest I was 250 and at my 1st initial visit with my surgeon I was at 247. I'm a week out and I'm now at 227. I look forward to meeting others who have had the surgery as well to share things with me as I'm on this journey to a new me!

Hi Summer. I just had my surgery to on 2-22-12. I am a little over a week post op. i have been overweight starting in the 5th grade. Done every diet out there, finally decided to get the bypass after having my kids. How are you doing?? I have been having hunger issues but other than that things seem to be well.

Congrats Summer. Keep doing what the doc tells you regarding exercise and diet and you will be needing a whole new wardrobe soon.

      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. 🤞
