Can I share my 1 month photo of my face??? There's not too much different anywhere else, so my face will have to suffice...

The first pic is the day of my surgery and the second is today...exactly 4 weeks since my surgery. I'm down 32 pounds and am feeling great...so much more energy and I am starting to feel prettier.

Excuse my hair and the plant growing out of the second one....it was 1am and I look pretty bad by 1am...

Thanks for looking!!!

My gross self back a few days prior to surgery and then Me a year later celebrating with my friends on a pontoon on a beautiful lake. What a difference a year made. A year ago I would have taken that whole seat I think!

me in pink at 255 on august 10th 2006

HOLYCRAP025.jpg

me at 190, august 2007 (surgery day was sept 5th, 06)

hey all, i got that "youve been gone too long email" from lapbandtalk. and although im not to my final weight right now, i thought id share that i went from 255 above, to 190. I only have one fill, but the first 30lbs of weight loss really took the pressure off of my ankles and allowed me to move again (I have rheumatoid arthritis).. i went from a size 20 to a size 14, and i can shop and etc for a long time.

i am thinking about getting a third fill (have a 4cc filled to 2.0 or 2.5 - yes doc was very aggressive) so that i can have assistance to the last resistant 25 lbs. I only feel resistance when im very dehydrated, but some times i can still eat 3 pieces of pizza, and anything i want. which is bad. i would say that happens most times.

I'm finally getting down to a weight loss that people are noticing...it feels so good. The first pictures is after my first appointment with a 12 pound loss already. I forgot to take pictures before the surgery. Then the next picture is yesterday after about 47 total! I still have about 40 to go!

      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.
