My surgiversery/birthday next year will consist of skydiving since I'll be under the weight limit!

Awesome! I'd like to go skydiving as well. Thanks, I think I will add to my list of things to do after my surgiversary! :-) sounds like fun.

I want to be able to be taken seriously again. Feel as if that sort of slipped away the bigger and bigger I grew. Younger girls at work in much sharper clothes. We may have the same bark' date=' but the smaller ones are often perceived to have the sharper bite..........oh, and crossing my legs without a struggle :)[/quote']

I love Chicos clothing but I only fit their shirts.. I will buy lots of their pants for work for the office. :-)

I'm just worried it won't work just like my sleeve has not worked I was self pay for that and will be for this and that's a lot of money. I still don't understand how I can eat so little workout and not loss weight I eat about 800-1000 cals a day I'm 7 months now with my sleeve. I so hope this works o.0 and I hope I drop more then the 35 lbs I did with the sleeve.

      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.
