Hi Danny! My name is Aimee. Congratulations on the weight loss! What an accomplishment! I am still pre op but I am close to getting scheduled, just need to get to my goal weight in order to have surgery. I can't believe you've lost that much weight in that amount of time! I just can't even imagine losing that much weight. I am so excited for this to begin! I was really struggling to stay on track with my weight loss but recently was put on Metformin and its really helping with the weight loss. I'm also on the liquid diet and not cheating like I was.

I have five lbs or less to lose to get scheduled. I am just so ready to have it and start this journey. So my highest weight was 321 and last week I was weighed at 307. Don't know what I weigh now but am hoping to get weighed tomorrow when I bring my daughter in to the doctor.

I am in MN. Where are you? Hope to meet people here and to hear from you soon!

      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.
