Steve, I can't believe some people think your story is fake. What heartless people. I am a female who started at 419 lbs. One of the higher up people yes. I am on a 6 month diet for insurance though and in the first 3 months which ended monday I lost 20.5 lbs. 3 more months to go until Pre op then surgery! I don't know what it's like to be 500 lbs but I know at 419 it was hard and at 398.5 now it's hard. Being this large it's hard to do anything. NO clothes fit, seatbelts don't fit, walking is a chore, always hot and out of breath. It's frustrating.

I do wish you lots of luck in your journey. I hope you do very well!!!

Just wanted to update, I have been to Juarez Mexico and have been banded (July 30th)

I'm in pain from the travel, but doing good.

Hungry but I know better, besides the hunger pains go away and I'm not about to eat anything but my Clear liquids this week. I won't harm my new situation in any way if at all possible.

I am going to really learn to love Soup broths :-)

Anyways, I wanted to know if anyone can recommend a spot to pick up a nice update (on my progress) like so many of you have on the bottom of your posts?

I thank you all for your continued support and posts...

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
