6 days pre surgery hope to have skinny pics to show as the days go by. I'm from pennsylvania, 44 years old, a mom to 3, and married for 26 years. I do a little bit of photograpy and enjoy scrapbooking.

Beautiful pictures everyone! It's great to meet you all.

Below is me and my 9 year old son Trey last year. He

is the reason I am doing this surgery. I am a single Mom

and don't have a lot of family, mainly just my mom. And

neither one of us are in great health. If something were

to happen to us my son would have no one, and I just can't

bear that thought. So please pray for me and I'll be praying

for you all.

I'm Paige.....I live in Northern Utah with my hubby, son, daughter and two jack russell terrors (oops, I mean TERRIERS)....

My surgery is set for March 18th......just eager to get on with it!

This is a picture taken last spring on a bike trip we went on.....it's in Oatman, Arizona.....notice how I cleverly disguised my big butt with a baby burro....great idea, but not terribly practical on a day to day basis!

Looking forward to spending time with all of you!

congrats to all the newbies and to those already banded in March. Tomorrow is my day. Will be overnight in the hospital.

Lost 4# being on Clear Liquids the past 2 days. And so looking forward to more of the clear liquids when I get home. But I know it is all worth it and for a better, healthier me!!

Hiya,

I'm getting banded on Tuesday the 25th, I can't believe it's almost here!! I'm a travel nurse from Canada but currently living in Seattle, thinking I just may stay here for a long term commitment as a staffer. I live with 3 of my 4 basset hounds (the 4th does not travel and stays in canada). I tried to post a pic but on preview it was HUGE and I have no idea how to resize it.

      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.
