February Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I hope that this is going to be the biggest month. They have moved me to Feb 1 due to my stuggle with cigerettes.. I think I have finally broke the chains that has made it so hard to quit..I look forward to everyday and all the challenges it gives. I start my pre op diet on the 18th of January. I have been soo struggling with all my feelings inside about this and the surgeon has helped me with all the unanswered question.. Thanks to all that has supported and been there with good advice..I look forward to feb 1st..

Giving up smoking is so hard I was only able to quit on Sept 09 because I became pregnant. Look at you making two big life changes that's wonderful

Congratulations on you quitting smoking! It really is great! :musical_note:

You can save all the money now in order to buy new clothes after surgery! :thumbs_up:

I am going to get sleeved one week after you, on the 8th February and I can't wait!:nod:

That is so great!!! I was dissapointed that they moved up my surgery until February. He told me that they would do a urine test on me to make sure that I was 100% nicotine free. Its was really my fault but you learn by making mistakes. I am in the process of talking to one of my doctors patients who has had the surgery. I will get some good insight from him I hope. February is going to be a awesome Month for Sleevers. :D

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
