Well, it's been 4 months now since my sleeve. So far absolutely no bad side effects from surgery. I've gotta say I must be one of the lucky few who had absolutely no issues not even gas pains after the surgery. So far I'm down 104lbs, and still going strong. That being said I've had to work my ass off to get there 3-5 days at the gym and 2 of those days are with a personal trainer. I kind of shifted the money I saved in groceries to my training. I've dropped from a 46 inch waist, almost a 48 down to a 40 now and those are getting loose. Shirts have went from 4x to 2x. I haven't had to get to the point of weighing my food or anything I am even able to get most my Protein from food and just have a Protein Shake after my workouts. Really I'm feeling like a million bucks now. I even do some running now, good thinks is I don't feel like I need a bra to do it now either! Lol My skin is shrinking up nicely too. I know not every one has as easy a time as me but I would definitely say this has easily been my best decision ever. For those havering a tough time, good luck with it all, just remember to keep your chin up and keep pushing and follow your diet and you will reach your goal.

Congrats!! That's so incredible! This post as motivated me so much! I had my sleeve on the 14th and aside from the gas pains I have felt phenomenal!! I told my husband I was scared they didn't do it right because I expected to feel miserable! I'm 25 lbs down now, which is amazing to see and I got cleared at my post opp yesterday, so I will be at the gym Monday -Friday! I don't have the money at the moment for a personal trainer but my sister has been a huge support! Good luck on the rest of your journey!

      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. 🤞
