Recommended Posts

Absolutely. It has been lfechanging. I hope you don't wait until you have serious health issues like we did. It is the best thing we have ever done for ourselves. Good luck!

I would do it again several times a year (not kidding) if that was what was required to maintain my weight loss. Thankfully, it isn't, but yeah I would do it again and again and again if needed.

I am a peaceful person but if a medical team showed up and said they planned to do a takeback on my surgery (not medically possible ofc) I would beat them to death with my clawhammer and not regret it.

Sleeve surgery 10/19. BMI is on the lower end at 36. Lost 50lbs 5years ago and have put it all back on. Starting to feel anxious and second guess the decision. Would you do it again?

Absolutely. I started at a much higher BMI than you and am still at a higher BMI than you and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

My sleeve surgery was a freaking cakewalk.

Not thing to it.

I'd do it again tomorrow without a second thought.

I would do it again. Only 6 weeks out - hunger gone, down 40 pounds and more energy than I've had in years.

I wish I could go back and not do it. Just not a good choice for me.

I am sincerely sorry to hear that and hope whatever problems you have get resolved. For me and my husband, it really was lifesaving with the severe health problems. Big hug.

No regrets. No complications. All excess weight gone. Maintaining loss for 7 months now. I changed my eating habits and like the way I eat now. I love that I will always have this restriction. I feel like I eat reasonably sized meals, I just can't overeat which is such a blessing.

      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. 🤞
