I had my 3 month check in on Friday. They said I am right on track! Starting weight was 240 pre surgery diet start. 225 day of surgery and 185 at the weigh In Friday. I am 5'5. I would like it to be more but I am happy! The big news was my Bp was 112/83 which pre surgery on meds even would hit an all time low of 149/99. So I will take that value being off meds! I was 18w pre surgery highest and now I am solidly in a 14 and large instead of a 1x.

My next milestone is 20 lbs more lost by my 6 month and feeling good enough to take a picture and post it!

If my lazy butt can lose the weight and also exercise I believe anyone can!

Just thought I would share for those pre surgery wondering if it is worth it. To me, it was well worth it and I feel great!

Your stats are very close to mine....I'm also 5'5"....my starting weight was 252....but surgery weight was 225. My surgery was 5/16 so just a little less than 3 weeks for me now and I've lost 15 lbs since surgery for a total of 40 overall!...I can't wait to see where I am at 3 months!

I have a photo phobia but I took 3 selfies and sent them to my friend to hold. I will have her take a 3 month and hold those as well. I need to talk to a therapist about my inability to look in mirrors or take pictures. I have been this way since 2005 (when I weighed in the 140's) I have peeked at my face every once in awhile and up close I can tell a difference.

But putting me out there for the world to see is another matter.

Nothing strikes fear in me more than seeing an email from Facebook that says "you have been pinned in a photo"

Baby steps!!

      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.
