June 29th Bypass Surgery



Recommended Posts

How is everyone doing? I'm down to 195 pounds and starting to feel comfortable in my own skin again. Thank God! I am noticing that my hair is falling out more than it used to, so I'm going to include Biotin in my daily regimen of Vitamins. I also need to drink mor water! My skin is so dry when I wear black pants it looks like the insides of the legs have snow on them because my skin is so dried out! Oh well, it's all fixable. I have no regrets about surgery. I would do it again in a heartbeat, but I'm not going to!

I'm actually at the weight my drivers license says, lol. Which for the record I never told them that weight, they just picked one and put it down. But I'm down from my highest weight right at 100 pounds, and from my surgery down 65 pounds about. At 250ish right now.

Oh and I never used to get hit on... happened 3 times this week, lol. I guess a different aura is emitted from me when I feel more comfortable.

Hey there!! I'm at my half way point! Down 56 lbs since surgery! My dr actually told me I should be losing more. I was shocked. He said because I am so short (4.11) it will fall off slower. Grrrreat. But honestly I am very happy! I have not bought new clothes yet, just wearing belts but I'm thinking about jean shopping. With losing this weight I actually had a breast cancer scare but thankfully just a benign cyst that has probably been there a while. I haven't bought new bras or anything. I'm honestly kind of scared. I think I am still a 0-1x and I'm so done shopping in the "women's" section so will wait a bit longer.

I haven't choked, but vibe gotten things stuck as they call it. Only option for instant relief is to make yourself vomit.

      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.
