Oh wow, you look great. 20 lbs in that small amount of time! I'm totally new at this, so I don't know if it's normal, but you definitely give me hope! We also have similiar builds and started out in kind of the same place. How tall are you? I'm very happy for you!

Well, I'm getting banded this Friday (the 13th :thumbup:) so I have no after photos. I started an album of the worst pics of me I can find because I didn't have time to suck in my gut. Those are my "before" pictures.

I'm going to do something a little more depressing... I'm going to post photos of SKINNY me when I was thinner as a GOAL pictures.

These pictures are ordered in order of milestones:

Me post-college - 290lbs:

Pre-College (I'm the one of the left with the lifeguard tan) - 215lbs:

Is it possible I can ever make it back to that???

Love your name, MrRiceGuy! I'm Filipino so growing up, we ate rice for every meal, even breakfast!

Ha, but that could explain why I'm here now... darn you, carbs!

Anyway, you'll make it back. You've taken the first steps.

      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. 🤞
