Well today is my 2 year anniversary and I am so happy I did this!! It has been such a wonderful experience and I keep learning everyday.

All dreams have been possible and many have been achieved. My newest is to become a triathlete in October! I am so excited for the challenge.

If you are struggling or brand new - this is worth it and you can do it!!!

I started at 256 in a size 22. I currently weight 135 and a size 2.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have obviously been a star patient! I am approaching my first year anniversary on the 25th. I am so afraid I will wake up and I will be back to where I was a year ago. Your post gives me hope that the journey continues and that I can also do this! That old me is gone forever!!

Thanks for the encouragement. I will have RNY next month and have been really nervous lately.

For me I just made up my mind that I will NEVER go back to my old self. I never realized how miserable I was until I became so happy.

I never thought I would get this small, I was happy at being single digits in the clothe sizes, but my body had other ideas!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
