I had the gastric bypass on Dec 31st 2014 and I'm now about almost 2 months out and I feel great. When I started my journey into a healthier lifestyle I weighed 410 lbs now I'm 316 lbs and still losing. Eating hasn't been bad at all of course like any normal human being I had my doubts and bad days but as time goes by it gets easier and I know I did the right thing for myself. Just sharing hoping to give some positive vibes to everyone out there going through this experience.

Good for you! That's a great loss! It isn't the easiest thing in the world, but WLS has been wonderful for me as well.

You are doing great and congrats on your choice on being healthy. You have to take each day one at a time and focus on making good choice, we already know what bad choices are and what they do to you, when you see how good you feel and the new doors that open up to you that you can engage in , you will be amaze. You can set small goals for yourself as well as rewards and achieve them , for example one goal may be crossing your legs. I have learned to reward myself for making good choices, such as since I go to the gym and work out 2 hours five days a week my reward to myself have been a new dress, new underwear even shopping at the consignment stores. My self esteem has improved greatly and the comments as well as how I am look upon in envy has been new but trust me I am adjusting. This surgery has also shown me people true colors and those people who were not good for me I drop. Good luck.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
