Isnt that the truth? Still want one every day at 3 years doesnt give me a lot of hope, but the fact that youre still quit is great.

hardest thing we ever did

NO new profound, genius statement

just worth repeating the obvious

smoking, caffeine, alcohol, eating

any one or combination, are our worst enemies

i continually work with/against my demon of poor eating habits/over eating

in my case help/answer to addiction......

"one day at a time"

works for me

I switched to a vape. My surgeon said that's ok, and that it's much better than smoking. I use low nicotine, but get none of the carbon monoxide or any of the particulate matter created by smoke. It helps me to have the feeling of smoking without the health risk and awful smell

Congrats to all the smokers who have taken action to quit.

I've lost track of how long I've not smoked.....12 years....15 years? Not sure.

I do remember how I felt progressively better each week that I was smoke free and that it became easier as time passed.

Heeey! Thats awesome, i quit smoking 2 months ago! When I started to seriously think about going trough gastric sleeve surgery one of my really good friends told me that It could be a lower risk during the surgery if i quited smoking, so i did! Now im trying to start the diet before surgery, but i need to decide whos going to be my surgeon... Any recommendations?

I did my surgery in Tijuana Mexico. If you want to know the info let me know. Good job quitting. Your new life is getting closer!

      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.
