Wow, such a difference!!

Do you find that you spend more time "investing" in your looks now, like hair, makeup, etc?

Hi White sale. Thanks. Yea I spend more time on my hair now because I feel better about self but also because it is as really thinned out more. Hoping I stop losing hair more soon. I had a lot of really thick hair to start but has thinned so do spend more time on that. Dont normally wear makeup still that much but I have been if go out with friends more (plus cause single now). I don't have any on in my pics. I think it is all about making yourself feel good about new you inside (how healthy feel) & out (appearance). I find myself too spending more time picking out clothes to wear too because it is more fun now.

Yes. I thought we had around the same stats judging by your photo. I was sleeved a couple weeks before you

Surgery date 8/25/16

Starting weight 250

Current weight 179

Height 5'4"

How tall are you?

I've basically found my surgery twin

Wish there was a way to "friend" people on here. Would love to follow your progress.

You look great! Awesome progress

      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. 🤞
