Thank you for this video..I am 3 years out VSG and I have noticed around year 3-4 most bariatric surgery patients have stopped documenting their experiences. People like me still need that support especially since though cities have opened up most groups are during times I work. Thanks for encouraging us all and you continue to be encouraged as well.
Hi Kristina,
You are most welcome. Thank you so much for watching! and thank you for the encouragement 😄
You look amazing. I had gastric bypass 10 years ago and having my arm lift next week. You made me happier by seeing your results
Hi Linda,
Aww thank you! I hope your arm lift went well. I'm still overall happy with my arms. Thank you for watching 😄
A lot of people talk about how great you look (and you do look great!) but I want to talk about how brave you are. I'm considering go through gastric bypass and I found your video. You clearly faced your fears and challenges head on. You are amazing!
I’m 8yrs post op , my lowest was 119, I was 135 for the longest. I’m currently 165, as a believer in Christ too I recognize the need to make my body a living sacrifice, I’m back in the gym 5 days doing stairs or what every my body can handle that day. As long as I go. Listen to your body is necessary. I’m scheduling an appointment to see my surgeon soon . Thanks for sharing your journey ❤
Thank you for making this video. I am almost three years out and have so many questions and just needed to see someone who understands
You are most welcome. Congratulations on being three years post opp. :)
I LOVE the part about you telling what made you finally make changes again in your lifestyle. I’m also Christian love how you incorporated faith into your journey
Thank you, my beliefs deeply govern my life. I'm by no means perfect I'm still learning a lot. I love how God cares deeply for every aspect of our lives including health. Thank you for taking the time to watch 💜
Thank you very much for this video! I am about to have my surgery, would it be possible for you to do a 10 year anniversary video? It is really rare to find long term documenting videos, so it means a lot to us that are starting this journey. God bless you! =)
Thanks for your video! 5 years post op VSG :) Considering arm lift and helpful to see your journey so far out. Amazing job. Gonna review my back to basics handout today thanks to you inspiring me to help me refocus on PROTEIN!
You are most welcome! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch 😄.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you acknowledge the fact that God works through modern medicine too. So tired of the ignorance on that. God works in a BILLION and 1 ways. We don't have to choose between God and modern medicine. 🙏🏾☝🏽👏🏾❤ Thanks for the video sis!
Thank you for posting and giving me hope. I am 4 years out and regain and also am a Christian and believe my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and not taking care of myself
So inspirational I am almost 1.5 years out of having vsg surgery and I needed this. I was so scared I wouldn't be able to hit my goal (70lbs more to go) thank you. X
Your hair is fabulous and you are gorgeous 👍🏽 I start my bypass journey 23 March 23, excited and scared in equal measure.

Thank you so much for this video! I am five years postop gastric sleeve and I am struggling. After listening to you m, I can see where I am totally sabotaging myself. Thank you for opening my eyes. I appreciate you
Hi Kimberly,
I'm so glad this video was helpful, you are most welcome.
Thank you for taking the time to watch it 😁
Thank you for the recent update. I am almost 3 years out and I am so blessed to have my strength and energy back. I can go shopping not sitting in a scooter and I don't sit after barely 10 minutes of walking. I have cleaned and went out to do other things without being exhausted. I keep water with me at all times and I do my own cooking to make several small meals. I watch myself not to take large sips and I balance meals. I feel great and blessed and the being cute was last thing on my list. I enjoy being available for my and friends but I also am happy for myself.
What a sweet and positive attitude! You are doing fantastic and look great. Thanks for sharing!
That is kind of you :)
You are very welcome and thank you for watching.
Thank you so much for this video! I really appreciate your vulnerability and honesty, god guided me this video. Thank you again god bless!
You are most welcome! Thank you for taking the time to watch.
Welcome back. I've been missing you.
Aww thank you 💜. I am glad to be back 😄
That resonates when you said your not taking care of your temple. I need to do better!
I’m 3 weeks post-op. Thank you for your video. God Bless!
You are most welcome. Thank you for watching. I pray your recovery goes well and God bless on your journey 😀
One right next step.... such a powerful statement
Welcome back! Congratulations, you look great and should be very proud of your hard work ! 😉
Thank you for your video!! I am a Christian too! I am having surgery on the 30th of this month. You look great!
Hey I'm from Brazil, I did the bypass 3 years ago, I'm still having such a hard time still eating dairy and sugar so I just prefert to not consume it, the same with foods with too much oil, and some foods taste completly different, like read meat its so gross... but in a way its good so I don't really eat much, its funny how my taste has changed and never realy got back to the way it was, I really just adapted...
15 min video was perfect- I aligned my meal to it! Love your style and story!
No one cares about the scars. You're beautiful. Keep up the amazing work.
Aww thank you, you are kind.
I am 5 years out VSGand am gaining all of my weight back. I loved your advice about going back to the basics. I’m also looking for a support system. Any recommendations?
Just found your videos. Love them! I’m 1.5 yrs post surgery. Our struggles are very similar. Question: where do you find the large bottles of vitamins? Thanks for what you have done. God bless!
Thank you so much for watching 😊.
I take the Celebrate vitamins they are chewables, you can get them in large quanities. I hope this helps.
Can you do an update on your arm lift and show before and after with scars and size of arms
You popped up on my feed today and I am so glad that I choose to see you. I have been approved for surgery, I have done all the requirements and waiting for my meeting with my surgeon to schedule the date. However, i haven’t decide if I want to go through it because I am a Christian and have been dealing with whether this is something that a Christian should consider. Would God approve of this. I have been reflecting as well, in my body is the temple of God. Thank you for your video and sharing your journey. God bless!
☦️👩🏻🦳♥️🌻🙏👈 Thanks Tacci, my bipass is in a few weeks. Your video is uplifting. Be blest☦️
Mines also too
@@timeless_beautie9623 Good luck, Sweetheart. I’m old but very stoked, 72. 👩🏻🦳It feels like such a blessing from God. I’ve asked Him to let me live a long time , but to be productive as a Mom and citizen🇺🇸. He has brought me to this point and I am so grateful. Be blest☦️ in your bypass journey. I’m thinking of you. 🙏👈
Wow in 8 years post op you look like a teen again very amazing 💯💯🔥🔥
Aww thank you 💜🙂
You look amazing! Question people lose hair after weightloss surgery I see here a full head of hair. What do you do and don’t mind me asking is that all your hair or do you have extensions? You look AMAZING❤Greetings from The Netherlands
Aww Thank you so much!
Yes, this is my full head of hair. I don't wear extensions. I make sure to keep up with my calicum, multi-vitamins, get enough protein, rest, and manage stress. I don't always hit my protein goals though.
Thank you so much for watching 😊
@@TachiHogans1 you look AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS. Thank you for your answer
Your arms look great
Thank you :) I am quite happy with them. Thank you for watching.
Hi, I am ten years out from surgery. My weight was 409 lbs before I started and got down to 255 or so. I got a divorce about six years ago and slowly started gaining it back. I'm up to 305 or so. Did you have trouble with your gallbladder and Do you have trouble with eating watermelon. Watermelon makes my stomach hurt.
Hi! I am a bit more concerned on scars sadly. So I wonder, are they textured/bumpy or just colored? I am asking cause I try to cover scars with makeup sometimes for special occasions where I am already insecure enoguh :/
They are both, they are slight bumpy and colored. Certain spots have a tiny bit more texture than others on my arm. The scars aren't raised so from a side angle they look flush with my skin. Also keep in mind, I was told by my DR with having a darker complection my scars my be more prominent. I have family members that have fair skin and have had different skin removal surgeries and there scars are barely noticable.
Thank you for watching and have a great day.
I'm 8.5 years post gastric bypass I'm so struggling with what to eat right now to get back down in weight I need to loose about 28lbs any advice greatly appreciated. How many calories I should be eating etc 🤔
I am in the same boat. Just trying to figure it out. I’m going to go back to the basics and see what happens
You look great congrats!🎊🎉
What a beautiful and inspiring woman you are!
Aww thank you!
Can you make a video on lose skin?
Hi Mrs.Joiner, I really like your idea. If I were to create a video on loose skin what would you be expecting to see and or for me to talk about?
Here from your last brachioplasty video, they were So much bigger 1 year post op did you do the revision? Or is this just from more weight loss?
They are smaller due to weight loss.
Thank you so much for watching 😄
Do you have ulcers? I have gerd and I’m scared to get the surgery bc of that and dumping syndrome. Also, can you still take an antidepressant with roux en y? Will it absorb? I’m waiting until my daughter turns 18 (5 months) to get this done. Thanks for your videos.
No, I do not have ulcers. I do not know if you can take antidepressant having had the surgery, a pharmacist should know though.
You are most welcome and thank you for watching. :)
Hi there, idk if you got the surgery yet or not. I had mine 20 days ago and also suffered from Gerd. During my surgery my doctor fixed the hernia that was causing the Gerd. They suggest bypass to me instead of sleeve because sleeve would make the Gerd waayyy worse. @A1Ananda
Thank you
You are most welcome 😁
Love your video. Could you do a ten year update? I am considering RNY surgery, but I’m really trying to find more information from experienced post-oppers.
I have been wanting to do an update video. I'll try to get one day hopefully this summer. It will be my 11 year update. If you have any questions you can contact me on Instagram at Tachi.H.
@@TachiHogans1 awesome, just went and added you on there. Thank you!
Can you make a video on hair loss? Your hair looks great.
18 years for me..I was doing good not now.I am in the process of starting over. Not sure if it will work.
When you say you’re not doing well now, do you just mean in terms of weight loss/gain? Or are you struggling with your health due to the surgery?
I’m thinking of getting it this year but want to hear from people who had it done 10+ years ago to find out what problems I can expect to encounter further down the road! ❤️
Wow you look amazing.
Hi I am 220 pound. Should I go for WL surgery?
Depends how tall you are, what your BMI is, and if you have any healthy issues
Praise God that you have been doing so well since surgery. After surgery, did you experience hair loss/ hair thinning at all?
Yes, I have experienced some hair thinning, but I am not 100 percent confident that is from the surgery but rather due to a medication I take that may be the culprit.
Thank you for watching.
How much was your surgery and did you ever get a tummy tuck? Did insurance cover it? Or oop?

You are welcome 💜
Thank you mamma 😘
I'm a Christian as well and I'm hoping to have vsg in early February (God's Will) is that your natural hair? If so, can you give any tips?
Yes, this is my natural hair. I am still firguring out how to maintain my curls lol. My hair is extremely picky when it comes to products and the type of water I use to wash it. I am a big believer in using a head wrap for my hair at night, I have a polyester on I have been using but am about to switch over to a silk pillow case. Cotton sucks the moisture out of my hair and creates a frizzy mess. Also making sure to take my vitamins and proteins has helped.
Welcome back love 💕
Aww thank you 😄, I am glad to be back. 💜
We need an update! I hope all is well!
Currently working on one. It hopefully will be out by the new year.
You look beautiful !! :*
Thank you 😄
@@TachiHogans1 no problem! ^^
You look great
How tall are you?
Do you count calories?
No I do not count calories. Only carbs and proteins.
Whistle! 😊
You’re so beautiful! :)
