- I recorded this video a few months ago. Now that we’re almost to 100K subs, I think I’ll start vlogging more. This was my first video as I sat with the thought of having weight loss surgery.
Plan on getting mines done June 2024. I've read enough and seen plenty of videos. Done research. Ready! 😊🙏🏾💚. Congratulations brother 🎉🎉🎉
Best thing I’ve ever done!! 6 months post op and 95lbs down
Thanks for sharing via TH-cam. I follow you on all social media so I'm aware that you have already had a successful procedure. I love and support everything you stand for. Continue to be great, everyone does not want to see you win! Peace and blessings, fellow GOAT🐐🐐🐐❤
Congrats best decision I ever made!!!
AMEN Dominique ME TOO Well I Had RNY But I Just Agree "BEST Decision I've Ever Made In MY Life" Congratulations Sis
MUCH appreciation for you sharing this. You are changing lives period... Not just because of this video. You will transform a lot of people. Your honesty is beautiful and I pray your strength on your entire journey! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
*Do your research my brotha♥Be in the know about everything because this is surgery. Surgery is serious. I've had 2 surgeries(not dealing with weight loss), you have to get your mind right. Pray on it once but get hyped about it...that's what I did. When I had to be at the hospital early in the A.M., I told my nurses and the surgeon...LET'S GET IT...LET'S GO!!.Be blessed with whatever choices you make. Much Love&Prayers.* ♥♥♥♥♥
LOL Darius, YOU Got ME Cause I Was Like "Huh, I Thought YOU Already Did This????" But Then YOU Explained Congratulations Brother BEST Decision I've Ever Made. I Wish YOU Nothing More But Continued Success, Great Recipes & Living YOUR BEST Life Ever
Do you have a video of after your sleeve surgery
I appreciate you sharing your story. God bless!
Congratulations to you on you're journey.. May God continue to bless you and keep you.
Congratulations on your journey...... God Bless You....
That was a very courageous & brave thing you did in the name of your health. I commend you! It worked for you and your doing well. I'm happy for that!
I had it. Best decision.
I thank you for your detail explanation on your choice of surgery. I wish you the best in your weight loss journey
Your life your choice be happy with it!
Great explanation of everything! I’ve been working in Bariatrics for the past 10 yrs here in Houston, TX. And I’ve never had a patient who was well researched on their procedure and the process prior to coming in for a consultation!! You will do great and have wonderful success!
FYI: I’m nice to whoever calls, wether they are self-pay or insurance! 😉
Good luck Darius. Best of luck and a safe recovery.
It's going to be tough at first but right thru the craving of food. Drink plenty of water.
Did u have it
This video was very informative ... Thanks
I'm sooooo happy for you 🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for sharing this. There are always naysayers who believe their opinion should be everyone's, but you know your body. I've gone through this with family members & a few friends. It's not "the easy way out" as some say, sometimes, it's the safest way. I'm in the process of getting approved and there is a lot of work involved. Again, thank you for being open/honest about this.
Definitely NOT The Easy Way Out Darnia But One Of The BEST Decisions I've Ever Made As Well As Life Style Changes EVER. I Have No Regrets & Have Never Looked Back "2010 RNY 110 Pounds Lost"
Congratulations!
I wish you the best of Luck and may God bless you! I love your videos! And hope that nothin changes about the types of food you cook🙂
How much was the mental health evaluation cost?
So proud of you. Thank you for sharing, Darius!❤
Thank you Darius! I am really thinking about doing this
Very happy for you. Been a fan since the beginning of time. I remember your "skinny by morning" video. Lol
Sidenote....you're looking good love. 💙
I’m kind of done going through the process and my surgery is in about a week. I’m still waiting for the time of the surgery, but the evaluations are so stressful. But I don’t talk about them sometimes because I don’t feel like people can relate. I’ve been working on it for a year. Also, unless people genuinely understand WLS and/or have gone through it, they need to shut up. It’s not the easy way out. In fact, sometimes it’s the only way out. The nutritionist will make you on a 3-6 month diet before giving you approval. If your BMI is still over 40 and if you had a hard time losing that weight, they’ll let you have it. You don’t sit back and wait for it to happen. You have to work your ass off to get it. God knows I have. I’m proud of you, man.
I wish you all the best 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Congratulations

VSG doesn’t help with food addiction
Who said someone had an eating addiction?
Tameka Johnson VSG doesn’t cure emotional eating...
Spoiled Rotten It does not cure it, no surgery cures anything. Surgery is a tool to help things. Also, no one said anything about food addiction. No matter how well I ate, I was still having issues with diabities which is hereditary.
Tameka Johnson mkay...
Do you see this surgery changing the way you approach cooking, food and the ingredients that you use? curious? thank you for sharing your story.
You look fantastic
congrats on tour decision to get healthy...kudos to you my friend!
correction...your decision
Happy for you! I wanted the Vertical Sleeve. My insurance only covered Roux en Y. I am content. Jan 2012. Glucose Levels are awesome! I did it to save my life! Do you have a corn salad recipe???
I thought about it, but it just wasn't for me.
I had the sleeve in 2013. Best decision I have ever made.
Oh wow. Be blessed.
I had mine almost a year ago and lost 100 pounds so far
WOW a doctor actually advised surgery over the hard work of exercising and making a lifestyle change 😳🤦🏾♀️
kimberly329 right
It's a tool to help. You still have to have and continue the lifestyle change.
Tameka Johnson It's more than a tool. It's like giving someone a head start in a race by putting them a few feet in front of the finish line. The lifestyle discipline is forced by literally making the person sick from eating too much or the wrong things. Meanwhile the person that put in the hard work doesn't have that luxury. Do what works for you, but let's be honest changing your lifestyle on your own vs it being medically induced is tougher.
kimberly329 Do you think we still don't have to put in that hard work? Im in the gym 3x a week and I walk 5x a week. Don't say it takes away from the hard work because it doesn't and we have to work harder in order to not gain it back; which it can. As Darius said it saved his life and it saved mine. With PCOS and Diabetes, my weight continued to rise no matter what measurements I took. It's a head start tool to get us to the finish line of being healthy.
Tameka Johnson Did you hear me say you don't have to still put in hard work? NO. You did not. Are you given an edge and a serious head start? ABSOLUTELY!
It'll be okay, just take your vitamins after, my mom had the surgery and has sickle cell and pulled through. Look up the complete guide after gastric sleeve, it tells you everything you need to know and do after!
Good for you you did what was best for you... so what ppl don't agree..that's life!!. Wait you were 393... no way.. you didnt look.it... i would've never guest... I've never wanted to do it I just live through those that do lol. I'm determined to get this weight off with out surgery .. but if I had no option trust I'd be laying on the table like I'm ready doc... hahah I'm in your corner... best wishes on this journey
☆Awesome
Welcome to the slim side Darius
praying for you...
Okay snatched!!
Ooooo so happy for you!!! Ur sexy about to be real strong now
I know you already went under surgery but God bless you.
Y don’t workout and continue vegan eating
Mike Set It's bigger than just changing your eating habits and exercising. The surgery is a tool to help you.
🤔Well can u pay for mine since that seem not alot to u👌🏽💯
Sorry but it's not a disease.

I'm shocked out of all the things I commented on you respond to this....anywho, them stating that is a means to put it in a class for treatment, which in return is more money in their pockets. Treating symptoms is big business, not actually looking at the root of the problem. Just my opinion. I love watching you and love your dishes. And thank you for sharing your story.
Lmao i know right
💪 right
it is a disease. People just don’t realized it.
🤗
😞 obesity isn't a disease... BUT if you think so Discipline is the CURE.
Been down that road and just made major changes.. Eat clean workout and rest#repeat 😥 💪
The medical world considers it a disease.
Discipline.
Mind Over Matter
Chrissy Chris If you feel that way. I have PCOS and it's a hormone disorder that causes weight gain. The way to treat it is weight loss surgery. As much as people use Google, they still can be unknowable about certain things.
OBESITY IS A DISEASE AND RECOGNIZED BY THE MEDICAL WORLD AS ONE. STOP SAYING THIS PHRASE IT'S TOXIC
sexy voice though..."Food is my life, life is my food" "from my heart to yours" NICE!😍
I just wanna know,is he gay??
Victoria Welch is that all you got from the video? Why is that important for us to know? I'm sure he will reveal to anyone that needs to know. That is so rude...
You do not need that
DIANA ROSA you’re about 3 months too late. And it saved my life.
Darius your not even that big to need that surgery to me.
BISHERRA You obviously don’t know his BMI and his health problems. He may not look bad, but that doesn’t mean that he isn’t going through things.
