Rather than long winded responses, I feel that long winded videos explain stuff better.

Amazing my friend
I'm 8 weeks post op and everything you have said on your videos are correct
Keep it up

Thanks man,

I try to keep it real honest. This is a major life choice and you need to go into it well informed and educated and dont need anyone blowing smoke up your ass.. Too many less than moral doctors out there.

Hey Man, love the videos, I can relate to you in so many ways. Good luck with everything! I am 4 months out and very happy I had the surgery. It is hard work, but I am up for the challenge. Dr. Bertha really is the best, he is also my surgeon..... he did my lap band back in 2008 and my sleeve last year. I will keep an eye out for more video updates.

Good Luck!

Your vlogs are inspirational! I'm just three days post-op. Is there any way within this app to make sure I don't miss the next episode?

Omg I love your videos and even though I'm a woman can relate . I too worked out ferociously last ten years running half marathons , cf etc only to either lose minimal weight and gain it back ot lose nothing . It was so hard for me to justify surgery as well because all my blood work was normal . Bounce ad around up and down between a Bmi of 32 to 37. Broke my ankle last May and instantly gained 30lbd just from lack of exercise and knew something had to be done . I was sleeved March 2 just few days after you ! lol you did scare me in our video though about the post op food . Ten days post op my food plan goes to stage 1 soft foods . I did eat a soft banana which is on at and went down fine but then watched your video and got nervous and rechecked my list lol. Thank you for your candidness ! Huge fan of your videos !

Thank you so much. I can assure you making the decision to get surgery was no easy task for me. It took tons of soul searching to realize it was my end game and only move left. Im glad you're doing well and so jealous your surgeon lets you progress that fast, mine has me on liquids for 21 days post op...After that I can progress to tuna and soft fish and what not. I was drinking a ton but the PA in my surgeons office keeps scaring the crap out of me and telling me to slow down, cause I can pop a staple. I dont think its as easy as she makes it out to seem..But Im better off just listening to them. My freind's mom didn't listen to her doctors and died as a result of complications from the surgery and that has always been in the back of my mind..

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
