Recommended Posts

Hey peeps, Well I'm officially down 100 pounds before surgery. I just had my last info class for my insurance. So my surgery date is getting closer!

I was just wondering how much weight I'm looking to lose with someone at my weight which is 479 now. Anyone on her still around that started there sleeve journey around my weight?

I started my journey in October of 2015. At my first appointment I weighed 540 pounds. At surgery on 5/29/16 I was 480. I am now a year and a month out and I weigh 265! I have now lost more than I weigh. I've lost 275 pounds. Even though I'm not at goal I just had a panniculectomy on June 5th. Insurance covered it. I had to get it off now because it was so large it was giving me a lot of trouble. They removed over 15 pounds of skin. It was the most my surgeon has removed. Good luck to you!

      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. 🤞
