I'm 45lbs down and feel so much better! I started this process at 242 lbs. I lost 20 lbs during my preop diet and am down 25 lbs post op. I had a 3 to 4 week stall at 3 weeks which was so frustrating but eventually the weight started coming off again. I'm 5'8 and have finally made it to onderland!! Current weight 197. My NUT set my goal as 153 in 10 months. I don't think I've weighed that since elementary school! Can't wait to see what I'll look like! I'm sure enjoying the journey! I don't post often but often read others posts which have been so helpful! Thanks for the support!!

Thanks!!! Don't give up! I remember taking off from work one day, crying as I completed the doctors survey for the sleeve. I felt so helpless and disappointed in myself. I've struggled with my weight my entire life. Now I feel like I have control back! I wish you the best in your journey!

      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.
