I'm now 6 months out and have lost 63 pounds!

I'm 8 pounds from my original goal of 120 and it's still coming off!

This past month i have dropped quicker than the previous 2 months and the inches are REALLY showing.

I'm thinking of lowering my goal now.

I have a PS appointment in November, so i'll see what he tells me. If he takes off 5-10 pounds, I'm fine where i'm at because that will put me at 115-110 and will be getting rid of the excess skin that i would be trying to get rid of by lowering my goal anyhow!

(i'm only 4'11", so my 'ideal weight is between 91-123!)

I have lost 82 lbs in 6 months and I can honestly say that I have no flab in my face or arm hang. My legs are also toned:thumbup:. My only problem area is my inner thigh:scared2:. My Doctor is also very impressed with how toned my skin is I owe this to GOD. I think that walking has helped with toning and losing most of my belly fat. I know age and genetics plays a role also.

Walking is good for my heart and helps me stay toned :blush:.

Good Luck :blushing:

      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.
