On my own, several years ago I was able to lose 70 lbs on my own. I didn't do it in a healthy way. I basically stopped eating. I might have gotten in 300 cals a day and was a gym junkie. My hair fell out and I was so malnourished that when I stood up in my sisters wedding, I fainted mid ceremony.

I then met the love of my life and got happy and ate again and gained it all back. 10 years later I had gained a lot more and was at my heaviest.

I got sleeved 4/20 and I'm officially down to the max I was able to lose before! 70 down and counting! I've lost a lot less hair, I feel so much better, and my quality of life has improved greatly! Every pound from here on out is a new highest weight lost!

Best decision I've ever made and I can't wait to see where I'm at by this time next year! Thank you all for the help, encouragement, and tips throughout this process! Love you guys!

      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.
