I really needed to hear your story. I'm having the surgery in about 6 weeks! I'm nervous but very excited. I've battled weight my whole life and I'm really ready to do it this time!! Thanks for the confidence in what I know will work!

bbk...when did you start exercising hard. did you actually start out at 1 1/2 hours per day.

i have only lost 2 lbs. and doc says after you lose some weight you want to exercise more becuase you have more energy. did this happen to you?

congrats by the way, that is awesome..i can't see your pictures, but i used to look at your old profile all the time. i need to hear stories like yours.

I started out at about a 1/2 hour per day. I worked up to the 1 1/2 in about 6 months. I didn't plan it it so happened that was able to workout more and I kept going. I started working out as soon as my Dr cleared me, and that was about 3 weeks post op.

Boo Boo;

Congratualtions! I was just banded four days ago and feel as though I am starving! Thank you for the inspiration! I know that I can do this because of you. Do you have a weighloss blog showing your journey?

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
