So I get sleeved on Monday. Not scared yet. But I am worried about failing again. I'm also know that some people are looking for me to fail. Just coworkers not family. But today my attitude toward them will change. I will not only succeed for myself but I will prove them wrong. And be cute while doing it !!!

I think all of us who are sleeved have thought the same.... I'll be the only one it doens't work for, nothing else worked so why should this??

Put it away..... box that thought up and mail it with no return address - it won't be you. You will rock your sleeve!! And you will make jaws drop when you walk into a room in the months to come.

Good luck for Monday.

THERE IS NO QUESTION..... IT WILL WORK. :tongue_smilie: Remember your surgeon is cutting 2/3 of your stomach off and it is gone forever. Again no question....it will work. Good luck and best wishes on Monday.

I'm in the same "secretly worried I will be the 1 person this doesn't work for" boat. But we gotta believe. Look at all the amazing success stories and pictures on this forum! Good luck with your surgery and the road to your new life!:001_smile:

This will work ... you will not fail ... YOU SHOW THEM!

Here's my experience that I posted this morning http://verticalsleevetalk.com/vertical-sleeve-gastrectomy-surgery-vsg-success-stories/8525-today-7-months-out-64-2-pounds-gone.html

We all think that---I STILL have that thoght in the back of my head, 6 weeks out. But I just ignore it and keep doing what the doc says. I've screwed up a few times, but I always lose or stay the same if I screwed up, but I never gain. That's proof enough for me. This WILL work. For you and for me.

I mean, look, my screwup was to have 1,200 calories one day. That's a Weight Watcher's diet calorie count! Our stomachs are so small that even when we blow it, it's not epic like before surgery, and you just start fresh the next day. It HAS to work. Even our screwups are foolproof (as long as they aren't habits)!

So, VSG WILL work for you.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
