Surgery was on May 12th and I had my first fill yesterday. I have lost 15 lbs since surgery and 25 from the start of the 6 month insurance requested diet.

I was banded 4 weeks ago and have lost right on 15 pounds since the actual day of surgery.

I'm so happy- I'm down 2 dress sizes and have to stop myself from buying new clothes as I know I'm going to lose a whole lot more!

I am really looking forward to my first fill in 5 days, mainly as I have been going all out at the gym in the past week and I can't wait to compare my muscle and fat percentages with what they were 4 weeks ago.

Surgery date - May 29th. I was 240.

This morning, I was 230. (I updated my ticker - gotta go update my numbers in my signature.) I lost a lot before surgery, too.

Happy as a clam. :tongue:

sorry just read this was a may 2009 thread

That's okay. It's really great to see people losing a lot of weight over time. I think it gives everyone more confidence that they'll lose a lot more. GB

      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. 🤞
