I had my surgery in March of 2012. I must say its been a pretty easy ride for me. I did get sick a few times in the beginning from not chewing enough or eating something my pouch didn't like. But I wouldn't change a thing about this journey.

I still have about 10lbs to lose and they're fighting me every step of the way lol! But I'll get them off :)!

Hi Tammy.

Glad to see you on here for an update. I'm 11 months and I've lost 100 pounds. I'm struggling now to keep losing, so I'm going through a major stall. I'm still 30 to 50 pounds away from my goal.

I had my surgery March of 2011. I started at 289 and am at 162. I still see myself as heavy, and I am very very scared I am getting to relaxed and will go back to being heavy again. I am 39 yrs old and don't want to go back where I was.

      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.
