Hey guys wow i had long time without using this app. I'm so happy im back. I was sleeved on 4/23/2013 i was so depressed i wanted to die because i regretted the surgery. I use to think that I was not going to be able to eat or drink anything ever again but i was wrong. I was 200 pounds in April and now i weight 120 pounds yes 120 i cant belive im a size 1 in jeans and a xs in shirts it's unbelievable. 8 months ago i was so depressed and now I'm the happiest women alive. I give thanks to god for helping make this decision it was hard cause the first 2 months after the surgery i was really bad i got admitted like 3 times to the hospital and i had my gallbladder taken out. But i forgot everything already im so happy. Thanks to god and my doctor in mount sinai hospital in New York. I feel so happy and so healthy now i can do whatever I want with my two beautiful daughters. I love them thank you god for everything. Also i wanna give thanks to this forum because you guys helped me a lot the first few months. I am so proud of myself.

      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. 🤞
