My surgery was 2/7/19. I am down 55 pounds. I am 3 pounds away from my original goal weight of 160. I may aim for a goal of 150.

congrats on your success. One year out? how does it feel?

I feel pretty good been walk on my incline treadmill a lot. I brought it into the living room before surgery. I do still have some soreness on my right side, I will get tired some times and sometimes I will stand up and get dizzy. Thhinking that’s from three 3grams of sugar I’m my shakes and still taking a medication for high sugar twice a day.

pain on the right side is something I remember. I went bowling the day after my surgery (kind of dumb) and pulled something.

you really need to take it easy for a while after surgery, think about how few calories you are eating.

dont get up to quick.

Has your weight loss been steady?

I think to be really successful here (surgery) you need to follow the rules.

I had a cousin who couldn't follow the rules and has only lost 30 pounds.

Please don't eat earlier than suggested.

Yes I feel good watching the scale go in a different direction. Something I notice now is that every other commercial is food. While I’m drinking all liquids

      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.
