Shanza, it looks like you're losing at around the same pace. I guess we started around the same surgery weight and you're a week a head of me and already in onederland. :-) I hope a I can say the same thing a week from now!!! 9 pounds in one week might be a stretch though, but ya never know.

Well, there's pluses and minuses. Although I am sure I had a little excess fat all over (definitely my face), most of it was in my abdomen (a lot of if the bad visceral fat). That's the sign of insulin resistance and T2DM. So, while it's all coming off in one place (and I may be looking a lot thinner faster), having T2DM, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, triglycerides and generally being a high risk for stroke and cardiac disease is not cool at all!! Hence, the reason I got this surgery. Women may carry the weight in their arms, legs, thighs, butt and some subcutaneous fat in their stomach--they usually don't get that bad visceral fat that is so dangerous. So, it may take women longer to see the results of their weigh loss (since it's coming from all over their bodies), it's still a better way to carry your weight than they way I am/was. I still have 40 pounds to go to reach my goal (although 30 would still put my at the weight I was when I was a trainer in college 22 years ago).

That's my short-term goal too. However, I have been dropping pretty quickly the last ten days, so I am kind of expecting to hit a stall sometime soon.

      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.
