@jenn1. Thanks for the words of encouragement. I'm excited, but also anxious. I think I need to get back to work.

I'm 48 and worried that will affect my progress

I'm 48 as well and don't think that'll impact anything other than maybe my skin won't bounce back like a 20 year olds. There's alot of people older who are extremely successful - in fact - I bet it helps to be older in some aspects.

I hope so. Skin will definitely be different than the youngsters. I guess my worry is our metabolism compared to a younger persons metabolism.

@@lizardqueen I am 50 and I was sleeved a month ago. I've lost 24 lbs so far. Things have been going great for me. Do I wish I had done it sooner? Sure, but not because I think it would have been easier to lose then, but more because I could have enjoyed more time being thin and really living my life!

Great video! Very inspiring. I need to see these as although I'm pretty heavy (about what you were and your height - but NOT your slender legs ever I'm sure!) - I am still scared of the surgery. I struggle with the humiliation. I know it's better for me to get my weight in control, but I still need to know more about life after surgery I guess. Good for you - you look amazing :-)

So I thought I would update this thread. It's crazy that I'm wearing the same dress. I thought I looked great in the 1st photo. But this journey continues to amaze me! 28lbs less than when I first posted this.

Total loss 94lbs at 10 1/2 months hoping to reach 100lbs by 3/16/17 my 1 year!

How tall are you? You look amazing. I get my sleeve in a day and a half and I'm about 20 pounds down from your start weight, but also shorter. My basic figure looks exactly like yours in your before picture.

Hoping to lose about 90 pounds total, and look like you do in your latest pic! I also have a busty/curvy shape and I don't want to lose that!!

      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. 🤞
