If u do and eat wt ur supposed too and wrk out u will do great! Hope u reach your goal soon. They had my goal to be at 130lb and told me that after the 1yr everyone usually gains 10 lbs but that had not been the case. I wanna say that for the holidays I went up 4lbs but now I'm back to same weight of 111lb. So I know u will do great! keep it up hope to see progress pics soon.

I am a little nervous that I will lose too much but with my health I would rather be too small than too big. I'm 51 and I have had 4 heart ❤️ attacks due to high cholesterol. My BP has been staying too high. I am also only 4/8 so from 198, I need to be at 110. I did the surgery to guarantee I could successfully lose 88 lbs. if by chance I lose too much I will try to address that situation at the time but for now, I just need to lose 60 more lbs

Hey luv u should look in to all the surgery options. Maybe another surgery would be different with the situation ur going through. My sis in law had the sleeve and she no longer has diabetes. So there's lots of options but u have to be sure..

      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. 🤞
