HI!! I am doing well. I had my surgery in Dec 2013, so I am well out...lol! I've had a bit of trouble losing the last 30lbs that I want to lose, but overall I am very happy with my results!

Hi, I'm 5 months out. How have things been for you?

So glad to see some activity on the "Burgh Board"! I hope everyone is doing well and will continue to update this thread. I am officially 3 years out and dealing with about 5lbs of regain. I will always be a work in progress.

Hey Lorie!!!!

Glad to know you are doing well. 5lbs regain is nothing when you think of the statistics of weight regain. Yes, I know 5 lbs can lead to 10lbs can lead to more, but don't be too hard on yourself. I'm proud of you! Now, if you can only tell me how to get rid of the last 30lbs I am holding on to! I guess I should be happy that I haven't lost. My PCP tells me that my body might just be telling me this is the weight I belong at, but I'm not buying that.

      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. 🤞
