Sleever's Rendezvous...?



Recommended Posts

If you guys are planning a summer get together weather is going to be the deciding factor. The south is miserable in the summer and so is the east coast in my opinion. Since the consensus is to meet up centrally I think colorado is a good option. The springs has some fun things to do and the garden of the gods is breathtaking plus you could challenge yourself to a hike up pikes peak. There is also an airport so you wouldn't have to drive in from Denver but it isn't that far of a drive anyhow.B)

Maybe more regional get togethers would be best. For example Portland, OR; Lasvegas,NV; Colorado Springs,CO; New Orleans,LA; Nashville, TN; Orlando, FL; and somewhere in New England like New York City or Boston :blink::rolleyes:

Even though I'm a newbie I would LOVE to do this but I wont even be sleeved until June at the earliest so I'm guessing that having a fat chick aweighing you down is going to be counterproductive. :( That being said, I'm in WV and Allegiant Air has some SUPER CHEAP flights to Ft. Lauderdale. Perhaps some of the rest of you could go that route and then rent a car together. It might make for an extra few hours at the airport but it could end up saving ton$ in the long run. Good luck guys and put me on next year's guest list for sure!

Yeah this sounds like so much fun!! Also, and someone may have already mentioned this, but Cruises are fun and really seem reasonably priced if you look for deals. I would also absolutely LOVE to do this and get to meet everyone, but it's taking every penny I got to pay for surgery this yr. Maybe next time? We should totally make it an annual thing!!! :)

I would love to meet everyone, but I can't afford Florida right now. I would love to have one in Texas because it is a little more central. I was thinking San Antonio. There is lots to do and we could just pick a weekend to go. As long as you stayed in a hotel on or close to the Riverwalk we could all meet up. Any thoughts???

I vote for Las Vegas. Lots to do, and awesome hotels.Summer rates aren't too bad, either. Remember, it's a dry heat!

Most places are cool with me.

Floria Keys would me my first vote, Las Vegas is number two, and New Orleans is running third.

This is a wild idea - A CRUISE (just a thought).

      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.
