Hello World,

I am Keahsha Harris a Mother of one 5 year old girl, student obtaining my BS in Healthcare Management, a licensed nail tech BASICALLY a jack of all trades.I've contemplated about getting VSG for many years and finally decided last year this was the surgery for me. I've always been overweight starting at the tender age of 7 and I've tried many diets workout programs nutritional guidance and even played sports and I always ended up the heaviest of most. So to make a long story short I researched and asked many questions for approx. 6 years. I'm receiving my surgery abroad in Tijuana Mexico I'm going through Tijuana Bariatrics and my Surgeon is Fernando. Garcia (Don't worry I've spoke with clients that used him they gave the thumbs up). I just hate so many people are so judgmental and do not understand the struggle of being overweight. I want to prove them wrong not only wanting this so I can be healthy but; for a overall better life. I'm 5'2 HW:246.8 CW:225.0 GW: 130. I want to hear from you guys and hear the encouraging stories to settle my fears. Wish me the best!!!!

Congratulations on taking the step to a better and HEALTHIER you! Many people are judgmental because of ignorance. They do not know about WLS. Until they educate themselves, we who have done our homework have to deal with them, unfortunately. I hope and wish you all the best and many blessings on your journey hon.

Good luck you are getting a great tool to help with your weight loss. Anxiety leading up to it is understandable if you feel it but everything will be great after. Keep us posted.

Hope you're feeling good! Can't wait to hear about your journey. I'll be getting sleeved sometime between April and June. I'll find out soon!
WLS has become so common I haven't found many people too judgmental.

      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...

      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
