Dec 13th- 1 year Surgiversary!!



Recommended Posts

BEFORE & AFTER PICS!

100 pds down!!

Dec 13th 2016, I was heading to the hospital to undergo one of the biggest changes of my life and I felt nervous, scared and excited all at the same time. Not having a lot of support to do the surgery didn’t concern me as much as disappoint, I was doing it for me not others so in the end only what I wanted truly mattered.

I came out of surgery with the worst nausea of my life and wondered if I did the right thing.

Out of the hospital 3 days later and started trying out this new way of life.

3 months in and 30 pounds down, I still slightly struggled with finding my perfect balance.

6 months out and 60 pounds down I felt way more in control and confidence in my new self.

12 months out and 95 pounds down I can’t remember what it’s like to live any differently. I’m sooo happy and I’m glad I made the decision to do this.

It’s definitely not the easy way out as some people feel. It’s hard work and dedication and absolutely worth every moment spent on becoming the best me!

I still feel insecure at times, due to others negativity, but that’s a work in progress and I’ll never give up.

      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. 🤞
