So, how'd it go? Just searching for an update on your surgery. Hope you are well and recovering nicely.

Your avatar it small and I can't tell which ManiAAC you are...I think you are cool.

Well I made it, do I look skinnier? :) After a few days of feeling like a tackling dummy for the Dallas Cowboys I am back at work and taking things very slow. Everything went fine and I am feeling pretty good. Today I am wearing a pair of pants that I got for Christmas but couldn't fit into. That has really psyched me up! I go back on March 15 for my follow up.

Now I can go into these other newbie threads and speak of my experience! :eek: Thank you all for the kind words and support!

Oh yeah, for those that were wondering which ManiAAC I am, here is a link http://www.nba.com/mavericks/entertainment/maniAACs_bios.html#adam%20w.

The picture was taken about a year ago when I was down to 340 pounds on the Natural Hormonal Enhancement program. Now I'll have to come up with a new nickname, Biggy won't fit after awhile! :(

It's good to research anything before you do it, especially sokmething as big as this! Stop contemplating and jump in, the water's fine! :)

I will keep posting as new events are made and hills are climbed. Anyone that wants to see my progress in person is free to stop by our ManiAAC section anytime during any Mavericks home game. It's in section 112 right next to the Drumline! I would love to meet up and talk about ports, fills, food or whatever :)

      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.
