I am off to a reunion this weekend with people I haven't seen for years (some of them for 30+ years). This is something I would NEVER have had the confidence to do last year. I will probably look a lot more wrinkly than some people there (I'm 63) but I simple don't care. Having lost weight I just can't describe how good I feel! Happy days! I feel there is nothing I can't do - I am just coming to the end of the C25K and can now run for 25 minutes!

For anyone considering the sleeve I really can't think of any down sides - just DO IT!

I've lost just over 100lbs - not totally accurate as I only weigh once a month,so probably a bit more than that. I used to be obsessed with both food and scales, but now have new interests!

Had a brilliant time away and only just got home, having stayed a few extra days. Funnily enough I weighed the same as I did when I last saw a lot of the people there! I've just had a very fat 20 years in between!

I didn't take my running gear and wouldn't really have had time, but I was back out this morning and don't have any plans to stop!

Hope things are good with you - are you home yet?

Don't worry RosieCheeks, it won't be long until you are traipsing around with an idiot grin permanently on your face due to the fact that you are feeling how us veterans are. I'm going to be locked up soon for walking around looking like a complete ditz! My life now compared to this time last year? No contest!

Hahaha that's me - the crazy lady who is always laughing. I knew it would be good to lose weight, but NEVER thought I would feel this good!

      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.
