Recommended Posts

It's been 8 months since I decided to have the sleeve done and 7 months since surgery.

It's the the best thing I could ever have done. I have my life back!

I've added my B4 and images taken yesterday.

If your on the journey or feel you want to get on it.... I can't begin to tell you how it will change your life IF you embrace it!

You look great! I'm scheduled for June 14. I'm so scared! But I know if I DON'T do it, I will NEVER get my life back! I'm mostly afraid of complications!!!

Sorry I'm all new to this. I thought it took about five months from decision to surgery date because of all the appointments with a psychiatrist, nutritionist, etc. You look great, btw!

Hi Lori
I live in the UK, following some direct talking from my Dr. I decided to self pay and I made my decision to have the sleeve on 10 August following meeting the surgeon, had a two week holiday then went on my pre-op diet and into theatre 13 September. I had and still have full support from my surgical team.

As you can imagine it won't be as easy in the good old USA. I do have a couple of co-morbidities. I need my knees replaced because of arthritis and the ortho suggested the weight loss surgery. I'm hoping insurance will pay for the knees and the weight loss sx.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
