I fit into my Abercrombie and Fitch jeans today and they fit perfect. Got some really cute shoes today at a Marshals. My husband bought me a new winter coat today. It's super cute and in normal people's size. I walk by the stores in the mall and see myself in the store windows and cannot believe it's me. Lol. ALL of my clothes fit from years ago. I have a whole new wardrobe and I have so many clothes. Everytime my husband and I go to the store he wants to buy everything for me. I have to rein him in. I am so incredibly happy. This sleeve thing works awesome! A few bumps in the beginning and YES I had regrets the first couple of days but it is a distant memory now, I am about 24 pounds to goal but I tell you if I didn't lose another pound I would be ecstatic. I am 13 weeks post op. My restriction is great. No nausea, slides and no stalls. Exercising and feeling great! A whole new me! Love that I look good for my husband again. Having the time of my life and we are leaving for vacation to Vegas and Californina in less that two weeks! Good luck everyone on your decisions to have this surgery, it works and even though some may have bumps in the road stick with it, best decision ever!

I am sorry I did lose 104 pounds but I should have said that is a total weight loss before and after surgery. Not just post op. I have lost 54 pounds since surgery. I lost 50 before surgery. I didn't mean to mislead anyone. I re read my post and should have said pre and post op. I started "dieting" three months before surgery and went to the gym everyday and walked at lunch times. I was walking between 5 and 10 miles a day. 3 months pre op I was drinking a Protein shake for Breakfast one for lunch and a sensible low cal dinner. No Snacks.

      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. 🤞
