Before & after photo request.



Recommended Posts

I'm still pre-op. And recently have been pretty curious to what my body might look like. I know a lot of factors play apart in what your skin and body will look like after a large amount of weight is lost.

I am an apple shaped. Which means I carry most if not all of my weight in my abdomen. So I have fairly thin legs and arms. So I'm looking for other Apples.

I will be around 310 when I have surgery. I started at my highest weight ever of 347. I am 5'7 3/4. ( yes that 3/4 matters! Lol) and I'm 31.

So if you had similar stats and Apple ID love to see them before and after pics!

Same here, almost! 5'8" 32 years old, and started at a size 24 and 339 pounds. Out of control!

      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.
