I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Las Vegas waiting for my hubs to get ready and I found these 2 pics. One is from an ugly sweater xmas party I had in 2011. I was probably around my heaviest of 332 give or take. The close ups are a year apart. Last October and today. Currently still 234. My goal is 165.

I just can't believe where I am today. This has been a ride. I know it's not all about looks however I have to say I'm Rockin this sleeve. Sitting here crying. Just can't believe it.

Love it! I love to see the face pictures because everyone's eyes and smiles are so much bigger. They are finally the standout features, not squished behind the cheeks! You look great!

You look great! I have to ask... Our stats are basically the same, but your shape looks way better than mine. How tall are you? I am 5'6 and at 230 I feel like I still have a huge belly, but you don't at all.

      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.
