I am 38 and had surgery on Jan 29th I have lost 130 lbs. so far. Everyday is a new day and everyday is a struggle to do well. It's so much more manageable.

I am 40. Was never a healthy weight in my 30's so I look forward to being healthy as I was in my 20's.

I have been heavy since my 2nd child in 1998. I used to play sports and was always the athlete of the family.... Now I'm the one my dad uses as the example as to why my sisters need to "watch their weight so they don't end up like me". I can't wait to lose my weight, get my life and health bak, and really make em all eat their words! I really wanna play softball again! I miss that. It was what I did to relieve frustration.

I had Surgery March 25th. I'm 38,will be 39 next month. I wanted to do this now so I can be thin at 40. My highest weight was 250#. Currently at 233#. I suspect I'm still holding on to some post surgery Fluid. I'm excited about this journey. I'll be glad when my incisions stop hurting.

      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.
