29 Years Old & Getting the Sleeve



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I am 29 and I'll be getting the surgery in February, a month after my 30th birthday. I have the same BMI as you and also decided not to tell anyone. It's actually my decision and people here so judgemental. People who know: partner, mum, hairdresser and you all. People who will know: my sister some day before surgery and my best friend (a male who doesn't gossip)

So don't worry, everyone does what she/he feels like. The result is the same: you'll lose your weight. And a smile to the people who will compliment you on your weight loss will be eloquent enough, no need to even say "thank you"!

I am 27 and getting sleeved early next year. I have told many, all my family knows and my hubbys family knows through my blog. Ive told my good friends at work, home and at Church. Im also going to start a video blog on Youtube documenting the journey. With everyone else, I figure if they ask after surgery I will tell them. Im so excited about the surgery I doubt I will be able to keep my mouth shut ;)

So now that I am sleeved I am telling. Still not saying anything at work but have or will tell all my friends and family. Now that surgery is done I really don't care who knows. Kinda crazy how that all works. Surgery went great and I am already down 17 lbs. In just 10 days. So I say judge that suckers:)

I post on Facebook and all my coworkers know and I have gotten a few cruddy remarks but I don't care . It is my choice to share I am not obligated to do so I choose to shout it to the world. You just have to do what makes you happy just as you chose to have surgery it is your choice who you want to share they news with.

      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
