Hello I am 28 years old. I have always been overweight. I have also tried every diet with no success. I married my husband 8 years ago. We have been trying to have children since with no luck, was always told my weight was the problem. I found out in June I had PCOS and was told I would not get pregnant at the weight I was. So my doctor suggested surgery. I started this journey in June and weighed in at 346. My surgery is set for September 16th. I am excited and nervous. I am 7 days into my pre op liquid diet. It is going good for me, was a little ruff at first, I have not cheated. When I started the liquid diet I weighed in at 326. I walk/jog at least 2 miles a day. Today weighed 316. 30 pounds total 10 pounds during the 7 days of liquid. I really want to be able to keep this motivation I have after surgery and see great results. I will not let my self fail. Good luck to all the September and future sleevers!!! Does anyone have suggestions on what I should take to the hospital during my stay?

Mine is Monday and I am so ready, just nervous about the pain. I have also been heavy all of my life, but I was able to get pregnant once...then nothing....now I am the opposite, I told my husband he is going to have to take care of it, because I'm 47 and we have a beautiful 2 year old granddaughter....I'm done trying for another...to old for that business. lol

      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

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
