Hi guys I'm deeply considering getting this surgery done. I am already approved and all I have to do is make the decision I just wanted to figure out a bit more first was reading these conversations and saw the word stall or stalling. What does it mean to stall?

Periods of time when you do not lose despite following the program. can vary from a few weeks to months.

Go ahead and compare to me.... You won't be disappointed.

5 days up 11 pounds from surgery day.

11 days Weighed the same as surgery day.

6 weeks postp lost 17 pounds

7 weeks gained 3 pounds

10 weeks back to 17 pounds lost

12 weeks lost 25 pounds postop.

As you can see, stalls and even gains are normal. Also notice that I only weighed myself 6 times in the first 3 months. scale numbers DO NOT MATTER. Just stay on plan, STAY OFF THE scale, embrace the NSVs and have fun!!!!

Hrtnsol10, 49 lbs in 2 months is amazing! !! Does it feel odd inside your body, or in your brain, to lose that much that fast?

I had mine done Oct 15, 2015 and hit 60 pounds lost.But like others have said, don't compare your loss to others, It'll make you crazy. The are too many varibles from person to person and certainly male or female.

I am still working on NOT worrying about losing more or less from week to week. It's going, that is the important thing.

Please don't compare ur lost with others. I started in February 24 with 220 now I weight 130 . Everyone is not the same. This is the best decision I had made. No more diabetic and high blood pressure.

Just keep in mind as you get answers that there are many, many factors that determine how much weight people lose. Comparing your potential losses to others can be a slippery slope. I know. I was a very slow loser compared to many. It was only when I stopped comparing and just did my own thing was it easier for me to just keep moving forward until I finally made my goal weight.

Looking back, how quickly or slowly I lost weight doesn't matter one bit anymore! The fact that I lost it and am now maintaining it does.

@@Babbs thanks for highlighting this. I agree 100%. And also, congrats on losing and maintaining.

As I typed before, there is no comparison to other. I haven't met anyone who has had surgery so I just wanted to hear from others. I started working out and will amp that up after surgery. I am just in the waiting game now. In 2 weeks,if I get insurance approval, I would be home recovering!

      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. 🤞
