Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.In 2015 I weighed 380 pounds and I’m 5’5.I was in constant pain from my feet,I had sciatica,and sleep apnea.I couldn’t play with my son or run if there was an emergency.That little guy made something come alive in me and I knew I wanted to live!I had surgery January 2016,and the day of surgery I weighed 340 pounds after losing 40 pounds in 2 weeks on my liquid diet.Fast forward 9 months later I had dropped a massive 225 pounds!My gastric team showed me the metric and they said they have never had a patient drop weight that fast,they actually said I was too small!😂 My ENTIRE life I had waited to hear that!My nickname is no longer big George!My gastric team also said I would feel hunger again after about a year to a year and a half.In a weird twist I’m almost 3 years out and have NO hunger!It’s strange I can go the entire day and night without eating.I actually have to look at the clock so I remember to eat😂I feel amazing and I can shop for clothes anywhere!You might be asking are those the same size 54 jeans that you were wearing when you were big.My answer would be yes I saved them just for that pic!Keep pushing and never give up!23866ACB-D74F-4145-8C2D-A04AE820D68F.thumb.jpeg.e617f5c45ee460d609157ca2bfb8f07c.jpeg

      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.
