I'm from Cornwall. Sorry it took so long to get back to you guys ... Work has been crazy lately. I went to high school in Rockland county . Only 5ish days left until I am sleeved. Totally can't wait... As of today I am now 18 lbs from July not much but hoping to lose 2 more before surgery.

I didn't really have to lose weight pre-op until it was discovered I gained so much weight in between visits with him. I had to work my butt off to get to at least 2 pounds less than I was at my first appointment (16 lbs all together). I DID IT! Today I am on Clear liquids. I go in for surgery at 7:30 in the morning.

How are you feeling? Is it what you expected? Are you in a lot of pain? How are you feeling emotionally?

I had band to sleeve revision on November 6 and the difference between the 2 is just mind blowing to me. THIS level of restriction is what I always was looking for in my band but NEVER had. I was 205 on the day of surgery and as of today am down to 181. I am more than happy with my decision and my results

      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. 🤞
