94 lbs. down and over 6 feet of inches gone!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I haven't been on here for a long time. I thought I'd just update my photos and info and decided to share my photos with you. I had Gastric Bypass Feb. 2nd, 2016. I have lost 94 lbs. so far. I hit my surgeon's original goal weight of 151 on Dec. 28th but I have lost a little muscle mass and now my goal is 143. So I have a little ways to go still. I have had no issues other than getting my gallbladder removed a couple months after my WLS. I have lost over 6 feet of inches. I went from 244 lbs. to 150 today. I've gone from a 2X shirt and 18 pants to a S/M shirt and size 7/8 pants. I went snow skiing for the first time yesterday. I never would have been able to do that before losing this weight. I am so Thankful that I had this surgery. It has changed my life and also how I want to live it! Here's a few pictures for ya.

Thanks Everyone! I remember thinking what the heck have I done right after surgery. When my hair started falling out, I wondered if I'd have any left. I struggled getting everything required in. Now, I'm almost 100 lbs. lighter, my hairs growing back and I've mastered my diet to succeed! :)

      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. 🤞
