I was 481 when I started in June of this year. On B-Day (bariatric operation day), Oct 11, I was 414. Today as I sit here typing, I am 372. All has gone very well for me.

I had my first consult this time last year at 442lbs (BMI of 76). Had sleeve surgery in June at a weight of 364lbs BMI~66). Today I'm 282lbs. It takes work but it has been amazing! My overall health is better than it has been in decades!

I started my journey (with my PCP appointment for referral on February 2) at 397 pounds. At my first of six appointments with the surgeon's staff (March 3), I weighed 392 pounds. I lost 99 pounds during my six month pre-op diet program, and weighed 298 pounds on the day of surgery (September 28). Today (Day 64 post-op), I weighed 259 pounds.

It is an amazing journey, and if you commit yourself to it fully, you will be successful.

Good luck!

That's pretty awesome. Especially losing that much weight before surgery.

The pre-op diet was the best thing that ever happened to me. I am convinced that it is largely responsible for the easy time I had during surgery, my near seamless recovery, and my continued success post-op. I re-established with my relationship with food long before the surgery, so I didn't have to do that as I was healing and generally felt yucky in the days and weeks right after the procedure. I would never have had the mindset I had on surgery day had I not lost all of that pre-op weight, and when that first stall hit at week 3 post-op, it was MUCH easier to handle having lost 120 pounds rather than just 20 pounds!!

Yeah that is pretty awesome. I followed my doctor's pre-op orders to the Sea as I wanted my healing time to be minimum and he was quite clear that following it it would make it easier. So I went from 406 to 372 in late June hand surgery was September 6th. Sounds like you got a great attitude. And I know I feel so much better.

Wow my insurance stipulated that I could not gain any weight after initial weigh-in I didn't have to lose but I could not gain or they said it would show I didn't have commitment to losing weight

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
