First off, let me say, I love my post op-ers, they are great answering questions, eliminating pre op jitters and have great hints and tips and more BUT when you post answers filled with wisdom, helpful tips, funny responses or comments or even your own personal progress, I look to your page to see your personal details or "Your Story" and some don't fill out all the information and MOST OF ALL......

NOOOO PICS?!?!?!?!?!? :o :o :o -_- :angry: :P and in this order this is how I feel when I want to see post op updates and before and afters and progression pics and there are NONE!! You all know how us Pre Op-ers are...we wanna see!!!

Feel free to share here.....Thanks guys B)

Wow!!! Amazing transformations! I gotta say, both of you look so much younger in the after photos...one if my fears of losing weight is that I will look older (loose skin, more wrinkles)....y'all give me hope :)

Post-ee's...keep those photos coming! Such wonderful inspiration for those of us starting our journeys!

I FEEL younger! Almost immediately after surgery someone said I looked younger - that made me feel good.

Once I started working out (not just walking, but working out), I feel so much better, not as fatigued.

I've noticed a difference in my skin since surgery - especially my face. It looks so much healthier.

I'm far from a beauty queen, but I see improvement - most of all, I smile more.

You are so right. The problem is I literally can't find before pictures of myself. The few that I have I have strategically placed other people in front of me blocking everything but a sliver of my face. I made it a whole art form to avoid taking pictures of myself. I see some people here who actually took pictures of themselves literally right before surgery. I wish I had thought of that. I guess I was so preoccupied with the surgery it didn't even occur to me.

I am 65, wife is a kid of 62, these operations and using our heads with food and exercise took decades off of how we feel and put many years on to our lifespans, I am sure.

We are having a ball...we went from near stop to ludicrous speed! :D Yeehaw!

"I made it a whole art form to avoid taking pictures of myself. " lol that's funny and I think I took that class 101. I mostly only have face pics but I will definitely take some day before surgery pics...

maybe ask friends or a family member, you know they always catch you when you least expect it but they may have some just for your own personal tracking...

      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.
