Hi everyone, my good friend Sallyjo (aka Fran) asked me to post these for her.

The before was taken day of surgery - April 25, 2006

She's been working really hard, 2nd picture was taken at end of June 2007 on our wonderful LBT cruise! --> only 9 lbs to GOAL!

WAY TO GO Sallyjo!

Love,

Karla

I finally reached my goal of 75kg ON my birthday last week, how freaky, lol, considering my goal was to reach 75kg by my fortieth birthday and the day before I was 76.1kg!

Anyway, here's me on Saturday night with my family, that's me in the black and grey stripes. Sorry I have no real befores, we had a computer meltdown and lost a lot of photos.

Here are some quick photos. I will post better after photos when I can stand up straight. Too sore for that right now but hopefully from these photos you can get an idea of the change.

Although not a before & after it is more like a "before & current". Still want to drop another 40lbs or so.

These are from my 6 months post op post.

      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. 🤞
