September sleevers wanted!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone -- I'm scheduled to be sleeved on Sept. 8th -- very nervous, but excited about the possibilities afterwards! I'm really thankful for this forum -- what a lifesaver to have others to talk to!

My husband is extremely supportive, as well as my 3 kids. However, I have not told the rest of my family -- I don't know what to expect from their reactions, etc. So, I think I'll do the wait and see approach with them . . .

Looking forward to hearing about everyone's success!

Determined1, I know how you feel!

My date is Sept 21st. I've made my mental plan for August to be my Farwell to food (now I'm not going out and gorging everyday so people don't scold me i'm eating as normal but not beating myself up over having pizza, etc..:)) and making September 1st be the day I start to ween myself off things and start prepping for food post sleeve. My surgeon said I don't need to do a pre op diet but I think I will put myself on one to start getting ready.

I am scheduled for Sept. 1st. I will be a lap to sleeve revision.

Looking for some support buddies that will be around the same time to help keep from going crazy and cranky on the liquid diet after.

Let me know if you would like a sleeve buddy :thumbup:

I am fairly new on here, and also looking for a support system. My surgery is scheduled for Sept. 7th. I am going through a mixture of emotions ranging from excited to nervous. It seems like a great idea to surround myself with positive people who have gone through, going through, or getting ready to go through the same journey. Thank you for asking about Sept. sleevers!

      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. 🤞
