I have heard so many different explanations such as the following:

Losing 100 pounds.

Being in the 100's.

Hitting one year post op.

Which of these is true?!

What Is Onederland?! Whatever it is...I want to be there!

What did it feel like getting to Onederland for you and how long did it take (if it isn't the 1 year post op thing)?

I arrived in Onederland yesterday. Finally out of the 200's. Sleeve surgery end of July. Since surgery down 59plus pounds and since starting, down about 70. Hoping to continue and loose another 50 at least. Not getting caught up on the number game just wanting to be healthy and feel good. Good luck to all of you. We are all different and experience a different unique journey. I have had a few problems along the way but still would do it all over again. Still have lots of arthritis pain but can move easier. Not so embarrassed to be seen at the gym and enjoying a great life with my awesome husband of 26 years. Don't compare yourself with anyone else. We are all unique and different. We each have different bodies and medical issues. It is nice to read others problems, weight loss etc. but we are not the same. Each of our doctors and dietitians have very different rules and criteria to follow. That is who you need to listen to for medical advice. This however is a great support group. Each of you will do great. I was scared to death and had lots of reservations but knew I needed to do this to improve my quality of life. I am 60 years old and feel sooo much younger now. It has been a blessing. I don't know what the future holds but know this part of my journey holds no regrets! Good luck to all of you. Remember we all play a big part after surgery to write our own destiny!!!! On to a new healthy life for each and every one of you! I truly wish you the best!

      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
