Because it's been a while. Coming up on 2 years post-op now.

Before, in the white with 46-48" jeans, at my highest @ ~300 lbs. I had the surgery 6 months later.

Now, in the 34-36" jeans :thumbup:

This is my husband. aka Mr. Skeeterbait.

There isn't that huge of a change..... but it has only been three weeks exactly in these photos. I think it is amazing how well he's doing. Really proud of him.

What the heck.... Just for fun here is me at my first visit to the surgeon and then a current one from a few days ago. I am almost 11 months post op. My scale broke a while back and I haven't set the new one up. Last I knew I was down 90lbs. :lol:

Ok, I don't really have a true before, because I only had one and the jump drive it was on is not working properly. So, my before is actually 25 lbs down and my grandchild is 1 month old. The during is today and she is 7 months old. I am down an additional 50 lbs from the first picture and 3 jean sizes.

      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.
