First I'd like to say hello all my beautiful sleevers! Congrats on your victories small and large! This past year has been one of the most challenging years I've ever experienced. Add to that a life altering surgery (sleeve) and u have a powerful combination. It's had it's up and downs but thankfully my weight has been the major DOWN! I'm 10 pounds from goal and yes I've been a slow loser but slow and steady wins the race!!! I'm beyond thrilled my results and my confidence is higher than it's ever been! Yet I remain humbled by all my life experiences. I've been so inspired by so many of you and you have been my accountability partners in all that! For that I thank you dearly and sincerely! Stay focused and keep your eye on the prize! Love every piece of you flaws and all! Xoxo.

Congrats to you on taking a brave life saving step! You will do amazingly. First two days were hell. After that it's a breeze. At least for me it was. Incisions were painless I didn't have stitches just surgical glue.

      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.
