Better late than never?

surgery date: 12/23/08

heighest weight: 285

preop diet starting weight: 280 (no preop diet)

surgery weight: 269 lbs

current weight: 195 lbs

weight loss since surgery: 74lbs

total weight loss: 85 lbs

my end goal is to be: 140 lbs

Goal for the rest of the month 5 lbs

Workin with a band that is a bit to tight right now (not so bad it is a crisis). But due to how far away from the Dr I am and not being able to miss work (school teacher), can't get an unfill till 5/29.

Not much loss for me. I gained a pound the first week, then lost 2, but these have been the same couple pound for the last month.

I am going in for a check today. I don't want a fill because I am already too tight in the am. But by dinner, I am a hungry bottomless pit! I consume about 300 up until dinner time, then about 1000! It can't be good to get all your energy right before bed...

Hopefully they can help today. Keep up the good work everyone!

Glad I went in yesterday! Asked for 1/2 cc fill and lost 3 lbs from yesterday to today. YEAH! It might be short lived, due to being on fluids for 24 hours, but I take what I can get!

Great to see how you are all doing! Haven't posted since December. Had six fills since then (I had to get more than 10ccs in a 10 cc band before it worked at all) but now Ive had three months of it working. I feel like Im about 2-3 months behind now, but down 35 from surgery on 12/9 (from 220-185). Goal is 175 by the 4th of July.

Way to go Pete!!

      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. 🤞
