Full Story: Chloe's Bariatric Surgery Journey 

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.

She’s so positive and bubbly. I love it!

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.

She is adorable! She has a great future ahead of her.

Chloe I wish you the best in your new life journey! Continue to enjoy life!

Two weeks until surgery! 🎉

Love LOVE her laugh and energy and light. What a gift is she?!

She's a pretty wonderful person who had this done.

So Happy for you I can't wait to get mine 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 😊 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 am fixing to have the surgery...thanks for the video....hoping for success and a healthier 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 💕

Thanks for the video

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 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.

My surgery date is 8/20 top of the morning. I’m so nervous and excited at the same time.

Oh my gosh you're adorable! Such a cool girl

So pretty and an amazing personality.❤️

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.

how are you now..... taking my first step0 and im just excited as you

This so awesome also the dietician looks like Avril Lavigne lol

you're amazing. thank you for sharing. I am having this same surgery tomorrow :) I noticed this video was posted in 2016, how are you doing now?

Question do you have to take supplements?

I'm 5,9" 247 and I'm getting the sleeve next month.

Hi Chloe. You are so beautiful..

She so nice I wonder where she’s at now🥺💙

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?

I’m trying to get surgery to

How much will it cost ?

Ha that’s my aunt Karen taking her pic at 3 mins 😂🤣

Can pls say how much u want to pay in indian rupees for the surgery

Hi dear how much weight you lost in first month?

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.

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.

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.

1 question: as they're diving the stomach into 2 parts so in future are those 2 parts are segregated into 1 part again?

im having a sleeve done may the 6 2019 so is there something I need to know

I'm 331 lbs. I have 2 slipped disks in my back which makes it very painful to do exercise of any kind standing. I'm considering the gastric sleeve. 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.

I’m 300 44 pounds

The mom 😂

The bandaid says COVID... 4:02

Im 24 i have a little cousin who it only nine. She is Very Tall taller then me an. Not obese she just big boned 🫶🏽. I hope she learns to love her self the way she iss I have to look up at her. We talking an standing next to her she. Put her arm on me like im the little one 😅

well.... wish me luck.. imma about to admit myself into a hospital for this shit today. 😂

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.

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 ?

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.

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.

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

Doesn't look healthy

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 🥲
