The bariatric surgery journey is long. For many patients, it can take around a year from the first information session to surgery day. Follow along with Chloe on her journey through the entire bariatric surgery process.
I had my surgery march 9th 2022. I was 265 now im 219. The surgery works. It's up to you to want to be healthy, to move better, to feel confident in yourself. I lost me leg from bone cancer and had stage 4 lung cancer, sarcoidosis, rheumatoid arthritis all over, sleep apnea and high blood pressure. This is the BEST THING I EVER DONE IN MY LIFE WAS TO HAVE THE GASTRIC SLEEVE SURGERY. It's not like you can't enjoy a burger or something from a fast food place sometimes. But this is TRULY a huge lifestyle change. Just have your mind and heart ready for it.
Keep us updated mate how are you feeling now?
Hope you are doing fine ❤
I hope you are ok. Sounds like you have been thru a ton of life altering situations but just know your not alone❤❤💋
any updates sir ?
She’s so positive and bubbly. I love it!
She’s so akward
She is adorable! She has a great future ahead of her.
She's a pretty wonderful person who had this done.
Wow, thank you so much for doing this video I learned a lot from it. I am planning on getting the surgery myself so am trying to watch and learn about others experiences. Your video was so helpful. I wish you all the very best Chloe
💖💖
Thanks for your kind words! Kids like you are the reason we made the video :)
Chloe I wish you the best in your new life journey! Continue to enjoy life!
I’m 6 months in to the process and It’s really starting to sink in. My nutritionist started me on the pre op diet and it’s really a big change. I can’t wait to get the surgery and start my recovery process! This was a great video that showed me it will all come in time and to keep going strong 💪🏽 thanks so much 💕
I have been in the process about 7 months too. Doing my diet visits and checking all the boxes necessary to get approved for WLS. It is a really big change. I have made a channel and been doing videos of the process. I love how we started around the same time. Feel free to subscribe and follow along with me!!
Hi dear can you please give me tips of your diet plan. Pre opt diet as I am also thinking to go for it. So I need your little help if you don't mind
@@emilykai4192 hi please share your link I want to follow you
@Carrie Davis 257 here.. I want this so bad. Started last year. Then I lost 50lbs after a lost in the family. I wasn't a candidate after. Now I'm sure. This is my heaviest. Dieting from 10 to now 41.
Love LOVE her laugh and energy and light. What a gift is she?!
I am fixing to have the surgery...thanks for the video....hoping for success and a healthier life
Thanks 😊 I’m in the education first stage i haven’t had surgery yet and I’m nervous but your story help me feel safe .
I was told i should get it and just the thought of the surgery gives me panic attack and makes me cry. I can’t do this, no matter how easy she makes it look.
Please don't get it. Lose weight the natural way.
Please think really hard before doing this. This involves *permanent* changes to your body and mental state.
Listen to yourself! Maybe you can have success with a program that provides the food I had success years ago when WW had WW Personal plan and provided the food
Your smart to wait if you don’t have peace about it yet!! I’m sorry you’re having to go through this! I’ve had wt issues my whole life so I know how hard it makes each day! Hang in there!’n
This surgery was the easiest recovery I have ever had. Im 4weeks post op. This was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself.
doesn’t dying from diabetes induced gangrene and being a paraplegic from strokes more scary than the surgery? go get it done and stop whining
So Happy for you I can't wait to get mine done
After my best friend died of gallbladder cancer earlier this year it made me more determined to be in good shape and not throw my life away. She was so young and fought so hard to live for her small child and her life was taken from her. There I was, smoking, overweight, throwing mine away. I quit smoking 2 days before she died because she was getting super sensitive to smell and I didn't want to stink. I havent had a cigarette in 5 months. In 2 days I have my surgery consult. I self dieted and got my BMI to 35.1 and am basically stuck here. Hopefully the surgery will get me past this and I can get to the healthiest I can be.
It went very well thank you I'm home and really not feeling to bad there's someday that tough but there all ok
I hope all is well with your journey! I am having RNY gastric bypass next month I was put on the fast track program by my insurance so I only had to do 3 classes and pass the Psych eval. Some people need the extra help especially if they have underlying health problems that make things harder on them. I am nervous but I am ready for my new life. It’s going to be a lot of work but worth it. This is a tool not a fix all. I am blessed to be able to get this tool.
So how long did the psychological evaluation take? I’m at the very beginning of my journey and I’ve been told they need 2 years of eval and that just doesn’t sound right to me
@@lucc1546 that doesn't sound right to me either. Have you heard any updates?
@@Pretty_girl_swagg I have!! I actually have my first “initial” appointment Friday to meet the “team”
@@lucc1546 that's amazing!! Good luck on your journey!!❤️❤️💋
Oh my gosh you're adorable! Such a cool girl

@@jtomally9681 update ?
So pretty and an amazing personality.❤️
Two weeks until surgery! 🎉
Question do you have to take supplements?
They say if you reduce calories you will end up with reduced metabolism. This surgery makes you reduce what you eat (aka calory reduction), and yet they loose so much weight without anyone saying anything about affected metabolism. What is happening please?
The funny thing to me is she wasn’t even that big to me. Now I’m 5 foot 8 at 450lbs, now to me that’s extremely too heavy. I’m so scared in life rn. I’ve got to do something, because I can’t live like this anymore. I’m too scared to have any weight loss surgery.
Hi dear how much weight you lost in first month?
Ha that’s my aunt Karen taking her pic at 3 mins 😂🤣
im thinking about having the surgery becuase ive tried really hard. ive starved, ive added calories, ive workout out for an hour 4 days a week but nothing has worked. im worried i wont be able to have it but im going to start talking to my dr about it at my next appointment. in the past it was easy for me to lose weight but now i cant shed a pound with exercise.
If you get the surgery, you're still gonna do the same thing: starving yourself
@@rrsharizam Good thing I didn’t have it done
Can pls say how much u want to pay in indian rupees for the surgery
How much will it cost ?
I’m trying to get surgery to
She so nice I wonder where she’s at now🥺💙
my mams getting this done next month she’s getting it done privately. Obviously as her son i worry because it’s surgery. She has had surgery before. Just im terrified as shes having it done in a diffrent country so i cant be there. Its whats best for her to get rid of some of her horrible conditions. Just worry as her son.
Hi Chloe. You are so beautiful..
1 question: as they're diving the stomach into 2 parts so in future are those 2 parts are segregated into 1 part again?
They take out the big one. You are only left with the tube looking part
im having a sleeve done may the 6 2019 so is there something I need to know
Joyce Merritt how did it go??
Hope it went well! Keep us updated we are eager to hear your story! Many of us are debating this surgery for ourselves!
How did it go?!?

I've tried it before but I quit 2 months into the 6 month process. I'm very impatient. If anybody has any advice they can give me so I dont give up the second time I try this please let me know.

All the best my man😊
Hey brother, how are you?
@@xxicexxx feeling great.. lost 40 kgs now
Hi, how are you ? This bariatric surgery is a medical error, just as errors occur in any other profession. I have two acquaintances of mine who died because of this surgery. One had little stomach and when she went to eat a snack, the little stomach she had was unable to digest it, and then she got severe pains in her stomach, feeling sick and died. The other acquaintance of mine, became weak and when she ate, her intestines could no longer retain nutrients from food and she died of malnutrition. And when she was alive, she kept passing out fainting from weakness, even eating and eating right. Her stomach became small and so the body did not absorb food for it to survive. With so little stomach left in it, they cut a part of it out, and didn’t keep the tissue to be frozen, so that if she eventually needed to undo the surgery, put it back in it again. So how do you do it? And there was another one that I forgot to mention. That the internal scar of the surgery became very thin and broke, causing her stomach to fall into her body and she died instantly. I do not know how they have not yet banned this surgery, with so many people who give problems, after they went through it. Not to say them all. Be careful. Why go through this? Dieting, without being radical and exercising, is the best thing. And examine the patient to see why he doesn't lose weight. I currently, when I eat only two tablespoons of rice on the plate and eat at regular times. It helped me a little to maintain the weight. Hugs.
Truth. Only someone suicidal enough would attempt those weight loss surgeries.
I'm so sorry for your loss but this surgery is supposed to be for people who are mentally and physically ready. Idk if you know this but you're not supposed to be eating small foods right away. You have to drink only liquids for about a month until the stomach is ready to digest actual foods starting with liquids then soft foods then lastly regular. I'm right now going through the process of the surgery 4 days after it.
God wants to heal us from the inside out. Surgeries can’t do that.
How beautiful Yarely ! It is true. 🙂👍
She not big
Follow VRK's diet that enough no need of surgeries
can someone educate me on this cuz I don't understand if you just properly diet and workout don't you end up losing the weight anyway?I was 420 lb and in one year, I lost over a 100 pound with proper diet and workout why can she do it ?
Well you don't know her limitations or medical history. I am 6'2 and weighed 343lbs. I lost 46lbs on my own but the combination of weight and excerices severely damaged my knees so now the surgery is an option for me.
There are many reasons, Genetics, medical disorders or diseases, etc.
Why do people like you come to these videos? If you did it that way, good for you. Leave this girl alone.
The bigger you are the easier to shed 100 lbs..you were 420 so losing 100lbs is much easier for a person at that weight. However you still have a lot more to lose! Plus you need to be able to keep it off! So the anserw to your question of why cant she just lose weight the way you did it that worked for you to lose 100lbs only with hundreds more to go?? The anserw woulld be CAUSE SHES NOT YOU!🙏hope this helps😌
Some people are losers who can't do that. People using food as a way to deal with mental issues, then they end up getting fat and sick, and the vicious cycle of self-loathing continues.
The idea that genetics play a role in not being able to lose weight is absurd and not as common as people make it seem. Find something else that makes you happy besides eating and you won't get that fat. Also find people who encourage you and you won't get that fat again. If you can't, just cut the garbage people out and be happy on your own until you find better people.
Losing weight takes effort.
What is the goal of this surgery? To eat less.
Can you eat less even without surgery? Yes.
There are several ways to trick your mind to eat less. Eating low GI food, high fibre and whole grain makes you feel full longer. Drinking plain water instead of sugary drinks avoids you from thirst. Eating less spicy food avoids you from craving for sweets.
So folks, think hard before doing this surgery. It involves making *permanent* changes to your body. You'll run the risk of being malnutrition. I'd rather have a mental surgery instead of a physical one.
Why come on here to discourage people of doing this. You need to mind your business!!
@@Sboo78 To save as many people as I can
who is the doctor in the room…i suggest this doctor do some research about the neurological effect on people that size smh
I wouldn't recommend anybody do any weight loss surgeries. You can lose weight by changing your life habits. Drink water, fast reasonably, be mindful when you eat and be mindful about what you eat, exercise. It is not easy but it is the right way to actually love yourself and improve.
Don't waste your money and harm your stomach with those unnecessary surgeries. You won't be able to sleep on your left side again without feeling discomfort and you won't be enjoying any of your meals.
That side sleeping once your healed good can be resumed..i am a side sleeper.. if everyone could do it changing. Thir mindset we would all be thin!! for everyone that does not work.nothing wrong with the surgeries!!
@@joanncoopertroupe3506 It doesn't work because you are addicted to bad food and don't work out. Lady, the problem is often within your mind, not with your stomach. You are still the same person with the same unhealthy habits even after the surgery. You will breed the same kind of gluttonous people because of your eating, cooking, and working out or lack of any workout choices. The same person, who no one should be taking as their role model or as their body or lifestyle inspiration until they actually change, but without a surgery.
There should be rehab for food addicts, just like there is rehab for drunkards. They don't do any surgery on drunkards to "fix" them.
Oh and I'm talking about your left side.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I'm not a fan of how negative you are. Not everyone is the same. Let people make their own decisions.
What an actual moron you are.
I thought this would describe how to deal and cope with it. This was not useful. To emotional, little advise in what to do. Shame
She wasnt even that big, she couldnt lost the weight on her own tbqh without the surgery
You don’t know what she could and could not have done. You don’t know what her situation was.
@@djlawlz4041 yes i do. The surgery restricts eating-she couldve done that on her own with discipline.i myself was 225lbs at 5'1,a morbidly obese bmi,and i came down to a healthy.bmi with tracking my calories on a free app and walking.no fancy diet or gym membership. i speak from experience.
Okay, so was she genetically dispositions to weighing more? What was her medical history? Did haw he abe trauma? How much did she weigh? What was her height? What exactly did she try previously to loose the weight? When did her weight gain begin?
Just because something works for *YOU* doesn’t mean it works for everyone else. If you know her and why she had to have the surgery done, you wouldn’t be here commenting because you’re clearly ill-knowledged about weight loss and how it works. If you know her and her situation, answer all of my questions. 🙄
Lady Diana I’m glad you had a good experience. But you really don’t know her story. Personally I have been able to lose some weight on my own, close to 30 pounds, but because I have health issues like a pinched nerve in my thigh, that causes stinging in burning and tingling if I stand or walk more than 20 minutes, making exercise a challenge, and pcos which makes weight loss on its own difficult. You cannot always see the issues aside from a larger body. Everybody has their reasons for pursuing surgery, or choosing other methods.
Ugh, what's your point? Good for you, you did it. Leave this girl alone, go be miserable somewhere else.
Doesn't look healthy
Surgery of any kind isn’t healthy but losing the weight is better than gaining more.
This is my second time I got referred for the surgery but I’m really scared, i already lost 76 lbs on a diet but I’m stock 🥲
