Recommended Posts

Best decision I ever made 107 pounds and several sizes later I'm officially on maintenance. It wasn't easy and I'm trying to figure out how to maintain. I can honestly say the lifestyle change and the confidence and than realization that I am worth it and deserve it has been the most gratifying outcome of the surgery. I started at 254 on 1/30/14 and I'm at 146 today. The support from my husband, kids, family and friends has been amazing. I chose only to tell close family and friends. This site has been a life saver. I am on it daily although I don't post often. Thank you all for sharing your stories they truly help and continue to help me daily. post-204032-14146693094906_thumb.jpg post-204032-14146696534123_thumb.jpg

What an astonishing difference in your appearance. And your post is completely inspiring.

This journey is never over, is it? It just keeps going. WLS, weight loss and maintenance just seems to be a never-ending bit of yoga that teaches us so many more lessons than the ones about body size.

I'm so grateful for my sleeve and these endless opportunities to learn about life.

      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. 🤞
