Ya'll look great!!!!

Here's my 1 year post-op pics. CRAP! I'm more critical looking at them, so much more to go :x Although, I have recently realized my 'roll' on my back (back boobs??) is officially 100% gone! My back is smooth! My belly rolls.. not so much.

Hi all,

Well I thought I would post up my latest progress pics, and I am very happy with them! I am now 100 grams from losing 30kg! (For my USA friends that is .22lbs from losing 66lb).

All has been going well except I ended up being rushed to hospital last week while we were on holidays with severe chest pain and I couldn't breathe. Still not sure what it was, however stroke, heart attack and clots were ruled out thankfully. My guess is that it was a gall bladder attack, my GP thinks it may have been a severe reflux attack. I am having more tests this week and hopefully we will get to the bottom of it. For now though its business as usual!

Take care,

Joshie :biggrin:

Ooooooooookay so I missed the one year post-op bandiversary by two weeks, but I'm down 80lbs and have a lot bigger ego than before, but having just checked the vitals, I'm good. I seriously can't thank you all enough for everything. I couldn't have done it without you guys! :-) Oh, and I know the pictures are flipped. You can thank my computer savviness for that one. haha.

Well here's my 1 year pics, I'm not exactly where I had hoped I would be by now (I was hoping to be at or closer to 100lbs lost) but a lot of that is because of me not eating and definitely not exercising like I should be...been really hard when you work evening/overnight hours plus overtime.

I was losing at a steady rate, but these last 30-35 lbs have been the hardest to lose..so hopefully the next pic I get a chance to post is me making goal.

      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.
