Well it has been 7 months almost 8 and I am on the home strech I was originally 335 I am now 229 as of this morning. I would like to see 200 that is my personal goal.The doctors told me to loose 100 lbs and that would be good enough. I hope this is an insiration to people. This whole process is about so much more than getting the surgery I have 180 my entire thought process on food and exercise. (Any yes I have had ice cream ,and all the other bad things Just in moderation). I have also relized that this is about health and not vanity. I am able to do so much more now. I hope people will read this and know that if I can do it anyone can.

Good luck to everyone.

Awesome tats. Your weight loss is amazing. You look great. Thanks for the inspiration. Iam one month post op. I took my one month pics today and cried when I saw them side by side. Its amazing what 16 lbs looks like GONE. My goal is 135 which left me with 85 to lose total. Iam 16 lbs closer to MY goal. I can't wait to be where your at, 8 months out.

      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.
