I just have to tell everyone that I LOVE my new life. My quality of life is outstanding. I work out, my marriage is healthy and I'm having a blast with my 14 month old daughter. Every struggle that I have gone through since my surgery has been completely worth it. Don't ever give up, you will accomplish so much!

This is what I like to read!!! I read through good and bad but this kind of stories really encourage the journey that I am about to start.. My surgery is scheduled for March 11 and all I can say is I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I am sure I will have difficult days but I am so looking forward to a new me. I've been on and off diets my whole life, losing as much as 110 lbs on diet and exercise but have never been able to keep it off, so reading success stories reaffirms this is the right way to go!

When was your surgery and how much have you lost?

My paperwork goes to insurance on Monday. I am so excited and have been dreaming about what life will be like thin. I want to get down to 110 and haven't weighed even close to that since I was in my early 20's! So excited to shop at Victoria's Secret and wear beautiful heels, have more energy and everything! I feel the same way, I have lost over 100 pounds on my own throughout my life and now it is time to stop the yo-yo!

I love this post!!!!! My life has changed a lot too. I was 225 and could not walk. I.was wheel chair bound. I could not wipe my own butt very well. Things were so bleak, but after 4 months and 3 weeks I am 160, & dont need the scooter ,exercise some , and wear a size 7 juniors and medium shirts. I want to be 115, but if the weight liss stopped today I would live a hapoy comfortable life

      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.
