So I am here at my surgeons office for follow up. Is it only me or is anyone else afraid to be weighed that they will be disappointed?

I just had my follow up yesterday and I had those same feelings....not to mention its the middle of winter so I had on layers of clothing...but it went well I had a total lost of 24 pounds...dont worry bc the numbers won't be the same as pre op!

I found out that surgeons goals are def not the same as ours! Ive lost 55 in 4 months and he says I will be at his goal in 5 more lbs! Wtf. They swear that 60 percent if excess weight is the norm. Im thinking my butt better lose another 45!

I go in for my year follow up on the 28th. Im excited to step on the scale in thier office. Hell, I hope they make me a spokesperson or something... lol. Michele... my surgeon wanted me at 175.. I dont really get it because I would have still been considered overweight on the BMI chart. How did everything else go othere then his lame goal... Let us know

Everything went great. I was just shocked that they were pleased with my loss. Most people have lost at least 60to70 by this point. I havent even been able to exercise at all until yesterday. Im hoping to really knock this out and get to a very healtjy weight

D level...I asked for a prescription for a bahama vacation for some sun so my health plan would pay for it...but couldnt get him to agree! gotta take a vit d pill once a week for 12 weeks.... bummer! Hope everyone elses visit came out ok too!

Did dr mention issue with your Water intake or something as to why?

No nothing just that I wasn't that big to start with so it will be slow. Which is totally different then what was said when I first started out. Was told I would lose 100 pounds in first 4 months.

      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. 🤞
