WOW! What a wonderful transformation!! If it wasn't for the fact that you are wearing the same glasses I could have sworn I was looking at a totally different person in the after pictures. I know you have come to realize you were not as happy as you thought you were in the before pictures. However I have no doubt of your happiness in the after pictures. I know what it takes to lose such a huge amount of weight and know you have a much better life from this loss. You look wonderful and know you will get to your goal if you haven't already gotten there.

I am almost 11 months post op and my weight loss has slowed down. I will not settle for where I am now as I still have 40 pounds to go. However it is getting harder and I have begun to struggle.Did you encounter any stalls along the way and if so what did you do to get through those times? Any suggestions on what you did it get through the difficult times would be appreciated.

Thank you so much.. Slowing down is normal as you start eating more and your body just adjusts itself to stable state. I have not lost a single kg for about 4 months now but I am past goal weight and have a lot of excess skin to take off...do you move more now that you are significantly lighter?

      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. 🤞
