South Carolina sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Is there anyone out there that is going to be or is already sleeved in South Carolina?

I hope to be sleeved or banded soon. Where are you in SC?

Hey Amanda! Have you been sleeved yet? I'm due to be sleeved on the 31st. I see you are in Ft Mill, I live in Charlotte,NC. Just wondering if you have found a support group yet, as I am looking for one too.

I have not been sleeved yet; but I have completed all my requirements just waiting on an approval from insurance. My doctor's office Southeast Bariatrics has a general WLS support group the 2nd Monday of even month in the evenings, but I have not found a sleeve only support group in Charlotte area....maybe we should form one? :-) Who is your surgeon?

      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. 🤞
