I was nervous too as was everyone. I had a great experience so that helped. I will give you one tip ask your surgeon if they plan on using a tap block and if not why not.. easier to look it up on internet if you are not sure what it is. On a pain scale I was expecting a 10/10 I think it was about a 3/10 and that's +2pts feeling guilty it did not hurt. No pain medication after day 2. You will be so happy when it's over..

Cool.
My wife is looking at getting sleeved in May and then mine in August.
I have always been a big guy, big frame and tall.
But I have really packed on the pounds since getting married.
I currently weigh about 420

Awesome.....you look amazing....
I am just 3 months out, lost 50 pounds so far. I hope I lose as much as you... did it all come off quickly? Any loose skin? I sometimes feel like I am moving slow.

I felt like I was losing slow as well but it just kept coming off. You will stall every so often as your body adjusts. I thought I would have a ton of loose skin and I do not. I have a little but I am thrilled with the result. I felt like the slower it came off the more my body had time to snap back. Who knows if that is how it works but it will keep coming off. Good luck with the rest of the way. Stay healthy..

Wow !! You did awesome !! I was wondering if you could help me ? I started at a similar weight. My high weight was 315, my surgery weight was 299 and now 6 weeks after Sleeve surgery I'm at 260, I don't want lose skin ! I have been walking but I want to go to the gym and do more rigorous exercise, when did you start exercising ? What type of exercise did you do ?

      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. 🤞
