My new life after Surgery!



Recommended Posts

Hello, My name is NaNoska but everyone calls me NoNo. This is my very first post here and I am really excited! Almost all my life, I have been overweight and I tried everything under the sun to lose weight but was unable to do so. And so on March 25, 2013 is the day that forever changed my life. Before surgery I weighed at 236lbs and as of today I am at 190! I have lost 46lbs and 6 inches from sizes 22 to 16. I thanked God for giving me a second chance at life and health. I also want to thank my family and friends for their unconditional love and support throughout my journey. And last but not least, to my wonderful surgeon Dr. Michael Bono and staff of Hazelton General for doing such a fantatic job both pre and post op, they were amazing! I can't wait to read some more amazing stories from everyone on here!!!

It definitely will be faster than slower in the beginning. But will slow down. Enjoy it.

      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.
