9 Months Out- Before And After Pics



Recommended Posts

I know how everyone loves before and after/ during pictures, I sure do.

First off, I would like to say that I started this journey for a baby. My husband has an extremely low sperm count and the only way for us to have a child was through IVF. I was denied because my BMI was 42.3 and I weighed 278lbs at 5' 8. I needed to be a BMI of 30 or lower before my doctor would look at me for IVF, (Invitro Fertilsazation) I am now at 27.8 at 183lbs. I don't care how much more I lose. I had a goal of 145lbs but don't care at this point. I am soooo happy at where I am, at this point. I get to start IVF in March. Unfortunately they found a Fibroid Tumor the size of a softball which will be surgically taken out on November 20th. I also don't care at this point about that tiny little obstacle on my journey. I am seeing a healthier me and a child in my future. I am not a 5/6 but a 9/10 and can't be more excited! I am happy and confident in myself and my future. To hear the little pitter patters of baby feet in my future is what makes me smile. Knowing that I can possibly have a healthy pregnancy and see my grand babies and hopefully great grand babies makes me smile :) I took this journey for a child but recently realized it was for myself as well.

SD- 2/11/2013 5'8 278lbs

Today- 183lbs :)

      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. 🤞
