Going really well. 2 months and down almost 55 pounds. Feeling amazing. I had a really rough first 2 weeks but it wasn't the sleeve. I got really sick from antibiotics. Long story. Lol. How exciting. I'm here if you have any questions. Do you currently work out?

I wish I could make a walking group but I don't have a car. I need someone between Fairfield and Sacramento to be my support/walking buddy and to take me to my mandatory Bariatric support group. I still have not gotten the surgery because my dad cut me off and the insurance went with him. But soon I'll have money to buy my own insurance at least for a year and a half so this is my 3rd time trying I refuse to take no for an answer. I need gastric bypass asap because my health is getting worse due to my weight.

      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. 🤞
