Hey everyone! I'm 17 weeks post op and down 60 lbs. I was just wondering if this weight loss was a little slow considering that I have a friend who has lost about 100lbs in the same time frame. Regardless I am so so so happy with my sleeve and the decision I made to change my life. Please if anyone has tips or tricks let me know! Thank you ????

Congrats! 60 pounds in 4 months is great! Don't worry about about how fast it is happening, the important thing is that you are doing it! Everyone is different. Just focus on you!

I'm ten weeks out and have only lost 17 pounds so I'm thinking your doing well. The faster you lose weight the more loose skin you'll have.

You look like you've lost a hundred pounds. Fantastic progress! I would love to lose 60lbs in 4 months but my weight loss has been a little slower so it will probably take me a bit longer.

It also depends on how much fat u have to lose. So I may lose more than u based on those stats alone. People progress at different rates. I wouldn't worry about the numbers so much as the way I look and feel. And u look amazing! Keep it up!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
