#vsgsurgery

I realized that I’ve never actually showed my weight loss progress on here before.

Left: May 2022

Hi everyone!

I'm Hailey, and I had VSG surgery on December 13, 2022. When starting my weight loss Journey in September of 2022 I was 250 pounds exactly. On the day of surgery I was down to 217, and today I am down to 176. Are there any other sleevers on here? I would love to make some friends!

I’ve never done this, and I feel very shy about it- if I’m honest.

This past year has been eventful for me, to say the least. I’m at the end of my weight loss journey now that I’m pretty much at target weight and I’m left with all the loose skin from years of being morbidly obese and abusing my body. My confidence and body dysmorphia because of this really affects me, both mentally and physically.

After taking my life back and working so hard to get to where I am now, I’m still left a slave to my body once again and am ashamed and embarrassed of my loose skin. The loose skin causes health issues like rashes and infections as well as ruining my confidence.

Some people suggested making a gofundme, as paying €8k for this surgery isn’t possible for me right now. I decided, what’s the harm? And made it. I’m not expecting anything, but if you could even just share this that would be amazing.

Thank you all for being on this weight loss journey with me and being so so supportive.

I appreciate every one of you💖
