Yes, I was sleeved April 20.

I am very happy with my recovery and progress but I have a long way to go. I am nowhere near maintenance but much closer than I would have ever dreamed possible before surgery.

Sounds like some hormonal issues. My hormones have been wacky my whole life...my weight before getting healthy threw things even more off kilter. The weight loss has dropped me into a second adolesence! Crazy periods after almost none for a couple years, with insane cramping and bloating, and breakouts! And then there's what it's done to my libido...

But did it interfere with your weight loss post sleeve?

I think it probably contributed to some of the stalls I've had...3 periods in less than 2 months this summer when I was stalled for quite a while...some more of the same early this fall.

How old are you? Where is your acne? Chin? Between eyes? That can be hormonal acne. I take Spironolactone and it keeps my skin clear.

Hi, acne is on the chin. And is not my useless breakout that happens before my peroid; those have been happening for years. And are tiny. And one or two. The are persistent and often.

I'm 32.

      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.
