Come One Come All! - I received a message from a non- sleever wondering if they could join when this was posted on VSG- the answer is YES! bypass, balloon, sleeve, band, pre- and post surgery! Everyone is welcome to join..

Please remember to post BOTH a STARTING weight (5/30ish) and a GOAL weight (7/11). If I do not receive a goal weight by June 2, I will put in a goal weight -15 from your starting weight so that the calculations work and will update once I receive the actual value.

Also, as an incentive, I will be donating 2 (to be determined) prizes:

  • Actively Losing Weight Phase: 1 for the person who loses the highest percentage of weight at the end of the challenge - This category is for those actively in weight loss mode (like me) that are working towards their end goal weight
  • Maintenance Phase:1 for the person who is in maintenance phase who's goal is to lose a few pounds or to maintain their current weight at the end of the challenge (which in my opinion is also very difficult)

In the event of ties, I will randomly select a winner from those meeting the criteria. The prizes are just for fun and to hopefully motivate everyone to post their numbers..

When posting your weight either for 5/30 or the following week - just let me know which category you fall into :D

Good luck!

      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. 🤞
