Yesterday was my one year surgiversary of the sleeve. I was so nervous about it, but it was one of the best decisions I've made. I've lost 131 pounds and counting. My foot pain is gone, I'm active and feel great. I've gone from a size 22 to an 8 and actually enjoy shopping now. I'm able to do any activities my kids ask of me. I couldn't be happier!

My one year was on Wednesday. I've lost 88 pounds, which us exactly what all the info says I could expect to lose:). So happy with my decision. Not bad for a 60 year old!!!!

Awesome!!! Did you hit many stalls?? How many calories did you try to stay at? People keep telling me I'm eating too few calories and that's why I am in a stall?? Should I up my calories?? I'm so confused!! My doc said three meals a day and Protein first then veggies the carb if room ( there never is room) haha any advice? I go to the gym.. Was doing the circuit and treadmill but people tell me because I'm not eating enough my body is just feading off my muscle... Ugh!! I can't win!! I just want to hit onederland and wear a nice dress and look good for my sons wedding in October! Hah well... And be healthy!! So.... Ya..... So you have any advice!?? Anything will help! : ) did I say you look awesome? Haha Thanks for sharing!!

Hi there! I was in a stall for several weeks. I only eat between 600-850 daily and I'm usually on the lower end because I get full really quickly when I eat dense protein. I took everyone's advice and increased my Water and protein (I now drink 2 shakes a day) and it paid off. I lost 3 pounds this week. Yay me. So you may need to increase your protein and water intake. I hope this helps.

      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. 🤞
