Recommended Posts

Ok, it's 2:30 am, just got back in from a great night seeing people I have not been with in 3+ years. But wanted to say today I found my cheekbones! I'm 6 weeks post op bypass.

First pic take a couple years ago when I last saw this group post-284996-14620019924606_thumb.jpg

This pic I just now took. Sorry for the bags under my eyes. It's late!post-284996-14620020406954_thumb.jpg post-284996-14620020587678_thumb.jpg

It's like "BAM". There it is! Lol. I used to walk past mirrors and store fronts and not know who the reflection was because my face was so distorted. I'm sure many of you have had that horrid experience where you don't recognize yourself. And with this blessing of surgery and the tool it gives us, we get to actually "see" ourselves again! Not to mention all of the wonderful things about ourselves that aren't visible!!!

So true. I hated mirrors, glass fronts ect. I would see myself and say, who is that? I was still me on the inside, but no one saw that, or maybe just I didn't see me. I went into a cave and only came out if necessary.

      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. 🤞
