Thought I would pop back in to say hey. I started at 308 and my surgery was 4/17/17. This week I hit 198 pounds! Good luck in your journeys! I don’t have a lot of early pics but I’m in the black and white dress Image1517664946.057396.thumb.jpg.5d5b6d70705b31ff9c1684b8ec3b0e7f.jpg Image1517664973.665042.thumb.jpg.96f0f6920366ec616807ed0b0bd5fc8e.jpg Image1517664883.463754.thumb.jpg.b82b3309ed9cf7b5dd75a007c7288291.jpg

They had the nutritionist come in the lobby and speak to everyone. Then I went to the back to get a weigh in and then saw the surgeon to confirm everything. I asked for the soonest date possible and that was his first available date. Then I saw the coordinator. She made an appointment for me to go to the hospital on Feb 20th for my blood work and to speak with the financial advisor. I got a sheet with the dates and when to start my liver shrink diet and that was it

      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.
