You look mahvelous! I'm about the same height as you (though considerably older :cry_smile: ) and have the same amount to lose.

I hope my results are similar to yours - in fact, I'm gonna work my tail off (literally) to make sure that they will be! I'm not banded yet, but hopefully soon...

Thanks for posting your inspirational story!:thumbup:

Wow , you look fantastic !!! Size 12 is a great size but you look like an 8 !!

I'm happy you got the surgery so young so you can enjoy life :thumbup:

Puking , yeah, bet that's disturbing. I'm jumping back into this after chickening out 2 years ago. I puke now from over-eating at night while consuming too much soda or chocolate milk , not only or just vomiting but choking on it , being woken up from choking on it. I know I;m treading dangerous ground there. I believe it's called Aspirating.

Keep up the amazing work and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

:D

Wow... It's so nice to read and see your success story and know it really is something we can all strive for. Thanks for sharing your journal - warts and all! I'll be banded on November 18th and my number one reason for making this decision (after so many years) is because I can feel my body breaking down and the aches and pains are so much more prevalant. But... I also want one more chance at being beautiful and SEXY!!!

      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.
