Heyy Heyy guys!! So it's my 8 week post op.. I'm down 51 pounds!! It feels amazing. I can honestly say this is the best decision I've EVER made in my life, besides marrying my best friend in da whole world who also is 5 weeks post op and has lost a total of 30 pounds. This is insane! Our skins are so dry, and my incisions still feel like their itchy, scaly and sometimes they leak a yellow Fluid. Is dat normal?? Besides that were doing GGGGREAT ! How's everyone feeling??

Congrats on amazing success! I'm 7 weeks post op and down 43lbs. Feels awesome! My incisions are completely healed and have momentary itchiness here and there. Yours are oozing??? I would def bring that to the attention of your Surgeon and make sure that's not cause for concern. Keep up the good work!

Congrats! Regarding the dry skin, try some coconut or body oil. It really helps. Put it on after a shower, before you dry yourself, then pat dry. As far as the incisions, I would have the Dr check them if I were you. Mine were completely healed on the outside by my 4 week check up. Another girl at the check up had yellowish discharge and she had an infection and had to get some antibiotics for it. Good luck to you both! I think it's awesome you guys are in this together!

      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
