September sleevers wanted!



Recommended Posts

Whoot!! Wishing you all the very best for tomorrow!!

Please check in and let us know how youre getting along! :confused1:

I have to be at the hospital at 7 am tomorrow and my surgery will at 9. I'm so excited, kind of hungry I'm on a full liquid diet and I just realized that I hadn't eaten anything all day so now I'm sipping on some Soup, lol. I can't wait to rock my sleeve to the fullest.

I want to thank you all for the support that you've given me over the last couple of months and the support that I'm sure you'll give me in the days, weeks and months to come.

The next time I post I will be sleeved.

I am new to this list, just made my appointment for surgery on the 16th. I have about 80# to lose (that is such a funny number to post. I haven't been at that weight since, maybe, middle school???). Can't quite believe it is possible yet, but I'm open to being surprised... And I'm a little nervous now. I have to travel (to Dr. Acevas) alone, as we have adopted a little girl who doesn't yet have a passport so can't go to Mexico. So my partner will be staying home with her. I know other people do it alone, but I wish it wasn't so.

Just got back from preop testing - so now the nerves are really kicking in - 2 more days of work - a long weekend and then I'm sleeved (hopefully) I'm still kinda nervous that my band will have its revenge and will be so F'd up that I'll wake up with nothing - I would be so devistated. Fingers crossed!

I am really getting excited now! 3 days on the liquid diet and today I actually felt more like my old self hehe laughing and silly. :001_smile: On a side note peppermint tea is a godsend. My stomach was rumbling like a mad thing until I had some. Just thought I would pass that on. September 13th is the date for my husband and I!! We are doing this together and I am so glad to have his support and vice versa. lol :eek:

Hello! I am scheduled for Sept. 20. I have 115lbs to lose. I have my final pre-op blood-work done on Sept. 7.... So if all goes well, I should be going in to hospital on scheduled surgery date.

I am 9/14 and petrified. I know logically that this is the right thing for me for all the reasons we are all aware of, but every now and then it hits me like a ton of bricks that I am willingly, electively and totally consciously going to LET HIM CUT MOST OF MY STOMACH OUT! It sounds so drastic, Why oh why has it come to this? Why can't I just get a grip? (rhetorical questions).

@ vandy123....I'm scheduled for the 14th also and I've been going through those same feelings. But then I remind myself of the bigger picture, which is, I need to be healthy!!! Congrats and Best wishes!!

      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.
