The first picture is at my friend's wedding in August (about 3 weeks before surgery - I was at my high of 313). The second picture was taken a couple days ago - I am now at 265. Almost 50 lbs gone!!

The 3rd & 4th pictures are face comparisons... the 3rd one was taken some time in the summer before surgery and the 4th picture was taken a couple weeks ago.

Hi, this is my husband and me on New Years Eve overlooking Sydney Harbour (which is where we live). I hadn't worn this outfit for 5 years (couldn't bear to get rid of it) so I was happy and we had a great night.

7 months and counting. 61 pounds down so far and so happy. It's recently that most people have noticed. I get comments like "you're withering away" "hey slim" etc. I love it! :tongue:

Pre band- May 2008 :biggrin:

Hi. To clarify. I've lost the 70 lbs since I went to my very first appointment the third week of September 08. I go in tomorrow the 5th for my first fill. Was banded on Dec 4th. I feel like a new man already. Getting this tool is the very best thing that I have ever done in my life. Except for getting married to the most wonderful woman in the world 21years ago!!:)

      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. 🤞
