Hi Debbie,

I am similar. 5'5", HRW was 240. I had VSG on 7/29 and am down to 207.5, but I developed a gastric leak and that is being treated now, so I am not typical. Had there been no complications for me I would weigh much less than that by now. Good Luck!

Debbie .... Good Luck! Looks like today is your surgery day, so it'll be rough for a couple of days, but it get better fast. I wish you the best and please keep us up to date on your progress.

Bissara ... How are you doing 7 days out? I found it hard to get in the Water and Protein needed in the first days. And then I ended up in hospital with a leak. Please keep posting here if you so desire so that we can follow your success.

My update is that I am doing well. Down a total of 51 pounds as of this morning!!! Clothes that no longer fit are going into a bag to be given away, and as I kept a lot of clothes from when I was slimmer, I have 'new' clothes to wear now. It's hard not to shop for new clothes, but I received some good advice that I should try not to buy new clothes as long as I am continuing to lose weight. My goal weight is 140 lbs, so 49 to go.

Good Luck to you both!

My appetite is coming back -- I do feel hungry in the morning when I get up. I try to make sure I have something to eat (a sliced apple, some string cheese, etc.) at all times and I drink two Protein shakes a day so that I am getting in enough Protein. I also take Multivitamins (Bariatric Pal Fusion) and Iron and B12.

      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. 🤞
