Jan 31st will be my 2 year surgiversary. I have lost a total of 130lbs and still working hard to lose more! I started out weighing 330 and as of this week I weight 199. My goal weight is 150 and it is soo much harder to lose now, but I started keeping a food journal and working out 6 days a week. The surgery has changed my life is so many ways. I am more confident in myself now. I can keep up with my 7 year old son and it feels good to be a good role model for him too. I no longer have diabetes. My high blood pressure still lingers around, but it is nowhere near what it use to be...before surgery I was on 12 different medications and now I am down to 3. It feels good to workout and be able to keep up with my skinny/healthy friends. I love being able to find clothes that fit when I go to any store instead of having to shop in plus size stores. I can cross my legs now and it is comfortable. The only problem I have with myself now is the saggy skin, but in comparison to all of the pros the skin is worth it!! When I get down to goal weight I am thinking of having plastics done. I am very blessed and glad that I had surgery and great job and good luck to everyone!! You can do it!!!

This surgery has changed my life so much. I am close to getting of my prednisone for my RA. It was the reason I gained so much weight and I will be glad to get rid of it. I am making major life changes as well. I have decided to become a police officer and I am working hard to gain muscle and tone up. My confidence is so high now. It is flattering to have men hit on me and even better when I try on smaller and smaller sizes. However one if the best things is that my husband and I are like newlyweds. He can not keep his hands off if me. It has rekindled a deep love and passion for my husband and our marriage.

I LOVE life!!!! Having this surgery has given me a second chance and I am taking full advantage of it. I did this to get healthy. I was on three prescription medications for high blood pressure a day and still was running high. Now I'm not on any bp meds and my blood pressure is perfect!!!! I go to the gym everyday and I'm challenging myself in ways I used to be scared of. I'm now a better wife and mother. I thank God for this amazing blessing.

It feels wonderful!!! I haven't been in the 100s since middle school!! A huge smile was brought to my face and I was jumping up and down! I am excited to get to my goal...it may take awhile.... and I may start researching some plastic surgery.

      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.
