I am so happy I got sleeved!



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

almost a year ago on June 25th I was sleeved in Mexico by Dr. Aceves.

I couldn't be happier! I have lost an amazing 95 pounds off my 5'3 frame!

I didn't have any complications other than frequent heartburn, but oh well!

Dr. Aceves and his staff were so wonderful, it was a great start to my journey.

I have been stuck, and am struggling to get to my personal goal of 100 pounds, I really wanted it by my 1 year surgiversary, so I'm increasing my Protein and exercise in hopes that I get closer to it.

Overall, I couldn't be happier with my choice!

Hang in there, you can do it!

You know, there are a few that have some short term goals... a few pounds before 100#, etc. Some are doing the 5DPT, what do you think of starting a thread and everyone who has a short term goal joining in?

Is that something folks would be interested in?

Congratulations on your success. I have no doubt you'll make all your goals and I look forward to following your progress.

How would you like it set up? Where would you like the threads? How do you want it set up? Do you want a thread for a 5DPT/Getting Back On Track?

Or do you want a subsection of short term and a subsection of long term goals?

Tell me how you would like to do it and I will.

(Actually, Elisabeth is a whole lot better at setting up subsections!)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
