So I'm a year and almost 2 months out of surgery and I went for my annual fluoroscopy today, and everything looks great! they even made a video for me! I'm really excited that everything is ok, and happy to see how my band is working for the first time.

I'm a slow loser, but I'm still loosing! and I got a new fill today, and I'm so sure this is going to put me in the right happy place. I feel really hopefull today so I want it to share it with you guys! :)

I have only lost 22 pounds in a year, mostly in the last 6 months, because, gosh, I was so hungry right after the surgery and with no restriction at all. But after a couple of fills I started to loose weight and I got more energy and I started to swim about 2 months ago, so that's helping too! Maybe is not a huge weight lost, but this is the first time I'm been loosing weight ever! So if you are loosing, and not gaining, that's all you need! Now, I know I can do better, eat better and excercise more and seeing my band today for the very first time it kinda give me motivation to loose 22 more! hopefully in less than a year :)

You can do it! it might take a while, but you are on your way!

      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. 🤞
