Falecha: How are you doing? till on liquids? It gets better everyday, and the pounds do come off. I will be a year in Aug. 2016 from surgery. Still losing. In that amount of time, as of today I have lost over 100 lbs. It makes such a huge difference in my life. If you would like me as a buddy that would be cool. I have gone down 3 clothes sizes , on the verge of going down another one. ou ever need someone just email me.

How are you feeling? Was it bad? I'm nervous!!!

I wouldn't say bad but it's everything that was described to me by medical staff going in. I'm having to push myself to walk and drink... It feels like it would just be so much easier to lay down and sleep through this first week or so but so much ground can be lost in doing so PLUS the risk of blood clots and dehydration... Keep moving and sipping.

      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. 🤞
