4 Years Post-Op



Recommended Posts

Good Day fellow members.

I'm from Windsor' date=' Canada. I started my journey at 350lbs. I am almost 4 years post-op and RNY has been the best decision of my life.

FaceBook: Santino Pirrone

Check out my YouTube video here:

Wow!! You look amazing and I'm sure you feel it too!!! Congrats to you! Your video made me kick myself again for not keeping up with good progress pics as I go through this journey. I'm 5 1/2 months post-op and have lost 130 lbs....have about 60 left to get to goal weight. I've only really took weekly pics for the first few weeks :-( Congrats again!!

I started at 348....down to 216 now. I've eaten what I'm supposed to.....drank lots of fluids and exercised a lot. Just followed all the rules ALMOST all the time.

Thats the key... excercise. For some reason, when you excercise at 350 pounds, it does nothing but if you excercise at 200 pounds you actually see a difference. You can actually see the scale move and that motivates you to keep at it.

You will. Just remember to stay focused. Eventually you will re-teach yourself the proper way to eat and you will end up living a long and healthier life.

Best of luck

Wow you look fantastic!! What an inspiration you are to us all :D Did you start off exercising pretty soon after your surgery? I am pre-op and I have such a hard time motivating myself to exercise now.

      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.
