You guys, I just had a doctor's appointment, the first big post-op appointment with my GP, and it left me joyous!! In twenty five years I've never readings like this. Let me just put it this way. I came home in a cloud and threw into the garbage:
Metformin, Glypizide (diabetes) Losartan, amlodipine (high blood pressure), flexerile, meloxicam (terrible back and joint pain), lipitor (high cholestrol) .... I have NONE of those things anymore. I literally let out a huge holler in the parking lot walking to my car.... Thank God and this RNY gastric Bypass surgery. Thank you for letting me share that with you all, I'm moved beyond words

Hi friends and thanks again! That was quite a day learning that good news, I rode that high for a day or so.

Now I tell you, at my age (and single) the idea of being more attractive was still appealing, just less so than it would have been when I was 40, and I won't lie- I'm having a blast bringing big bags of clothes to Goodwill etc. I'm loving wearing clothes off the rack and get this: tucking my shirts in...!! That's right, no more dashikis...

Gimme a couple more months and we'll be talking swimming this summer, and not only at night with a t-shirt on..

And we might even dance once again, I used to love it when I was young before the pain in my legs became too great.

Yes, this is much better, thank you very much!!

      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. 🤞
