You guys will love it! Now that I'm past the hardest weeks, it's so nice seeing those numbers drop! It's not even the weightloss, I feel so much better in general. Walking is so much easier. I don't feel as weighed down as I did before, and the loose clothing is refreshing!

I'm excited starting to get nervous about the pain and everything now that I'm only a week away

the pain isn't bad at all. Mostly it was being sore for a week or so. I ended up with horrible bruising, but I believe had I not had that, I would have been fine after the first week. I had a reaction to the pain meds in the hospital which caused me to vomit everytime I received it. My biggest issue was nausea post op. I had to take zofran daily until last week.

The end result is definitely worth it. In my near 77 week journey, I've lost 35, two pant sizes, and two shirt sizes.

Nice to meet you! Where did you get it done?

Mexico lol my insurance doesn't cover it and it was too expensive to pay out of pocket at any hospitals in the area. I'm going to Abington for follow up care.

      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. 🤞
