5 year surgiversary - say what?!



Recommended Posts

yep

that's right, you heard me :rolleyes:

it's been 5 years since i took that stretcher down the long hallway!!

hard to believe!!

life is soooo different before and after being sleeved

too many NSV's to shake a stick at

newbies et al, you'll be amazed with changes in your life

health issues improved, or are gone

that's the main reason i had WLS

the fact that i look like a hot sexy grammy doesn't hurt!!

losing weight has been one of the highlights of my life

i can't imagine my life today or tomorrow as a "heavier"" person

life didn't start once i reached GOAL

life began the first day at GOAL

also called MAINTENANCE !!!

one of the few things i still can't do??

leap tall building

i still can not touch my tongue to my nose

rub my new tummy , pat my head clockwise

chew gum standing on one foot

but.... still working on it!!!

most anything else i can do LOL

i have good, better, and a couple of "not so good times!!

life can't be fixed as a "thinner" person

comes pretty darn close!!

i used to be 5"3' - now i am 6" tall!!!

i was turning 58 years OLD DOS

5 years later - almost 63 years YOUNG!!

i continue to work with my sleeve daily

bringing me health, happiness, and success

life is good

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
