Just bought a pair of 18P jeans. There no W anymore!!! 5 weeks and the W is gone!!! Everyday I find another reason to be thankful for this decision and this tool!!!

Amy,

Congrats! That is fantastic. Always good if we can find small victories not always related to just the scale. Keep up the good work!

(edited kind to can, can't type/think worth a damn)

I'm 6.5 weeks out. Went shopping with my mom and went up to the plus size section and she said "you can't wear that stuff anymore." I assured her I could. She told me I need to check the regular women's clothing- I still feel weird shopping there. Looked at an XL jean jacket and thought There's no way that's gonna fit...but it did! It's crazy! I look in a mirror and ask my mom- is that what I really look like or is the mirror distorted? I've lost about 50lbs but don't believe it yet in my head.

Congratulations!! What a great feeling!!! We've spent so long thinking of and feeling one way about ourselves that it is difficult to think or feel any other way! But slowly it is happening and it is awesome!!!

      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.
