Since having the sleeve surgery July 1, I have now lost 105 lbs. (340-235). Many thanks go to this forum and it's members for the information and testimonies that helped me make the decision to have the sleeve surgery. To say that I am glad that I had surgery and love my sleeve would be an understatement. Thanks again!!! :)

I am male, 38, and from NC. I was "sleeved" July 1 by Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez at Star Medica. I have been very lucky. My recovery was quick and I have never had problems getting in enough Water as some have. After going back on solid food, I have not had any problems eating anything. I have never had any problems with "taste" as some has had. Luckily for me everything still tastes the same.

I am pleased with my weight loss to this point, but I probably would have lost more if I had keep my Protein intake up. I try to eat food high in Protein when I eat but have not been getting enough. I just got tired of the shakes. I still have one occasionally or a Protein Bar but have not been doing it daily, as I should.

I have been taking PPI's since surgery and am trying to get off of them due to possible side effects. I have not taken one in almost a week and don't seem to be having any problems other than feeling that I need to eat more often. The PPI's do seem to suppress the appetite.

I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks goes to everyone who have helped me along the way with posts and testimonies from this forum.

      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.
