Calling all Sleevers for week of 12-15-10!!



Recommended Posts

(arrrrgh, can't edit the title! That should read 12-25-10!)

OK! I hope nobody minds but it seems that there are quite a few of us headed for surgery next Monday and that week... I figured it might be helpful to have kind of a central thread for us to get together for a little group therapy LOL-- I dunno about you guys but I literally have this on my mind 100% of my waking hours, including when I'm doing something else...talking about something else, working, watching TV, whatever. I'm taking it to mean there's a little anxiety there. :001_smile:

Are you scared? Nervous? Anxious? Excited? So far I'm slightly anxious and very excited. I expect not to get much sleep Sunday night and to be very anxious and maybe a little nervous the morning of--I've never had major surgery before.

So... I know there are a bunch, so who all's scheduled for next week?

I'm very excited. Surgery is scheduled for June, seminar in April. I'm going out of state, back home to Texas. I've got plenty of time to research obsessively, which suits me just fine! I think about it all the time, even if I get up at 3 AM to go to the bathroom, it's on my mind. Some times I am sorry I didn't plan on doing it sooner so I could stop obsessing about every little detail, but June just 'works' for us!

Stacy160,

I know what you mean :). I'm flying to San Diego Sunday for surgery Monday and I cannot wait. I know my family and close friends are getting tired of hearing me talk about it. I wake up in the mornings prior to my alarm clock going off and can't go back to sleep. I read everything I can find about it (good and bad). Ready to get this show on the road.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
