I'm looking forward to wearing those cartoon (fitted) tshirts from Wal-Mart this summer. Who's excited about getting rid of their FAT summer clothes from last year???

Sleeved on Feb 1st.. Surgery went great... Doc says liver was perfect... After recovery they put me in a room ( didn't notify my family) and left me for an hour. I was in so much pain it was in my back...once I got pain medicine they had to alternate with two different kinds b/c they i went so long without meds.. They had to get it under control... Finally I was told that I was not in the hospital records so they could not give me pain medicine right away.. But the good news is I'm home...feel much better just a little sore..

It does get better every day, its slow but better. I stayed in the hospital 3 days due to vomiting so my recovery is moving very slow, just remember to keep moving

Yes, I have been drinking warm crystal light. Warm tea helped relax my stomach a lot. Also, make sure your sips are tiny

Just wanted to drop in to say hello to my fellow AA sleevers. I don't post in here to often, but only because when I try to access this site from my phone (which is how I usually post) I get a password required message. Just went through forums and tried to see the group and what do you know, it let me in! Well I'm scheduled for Feb 26 and I'm getting nervous, scared. I think most of my anxiety comes from going to Tj Mexico for my sleeve. My insurance has WLS listed as an exclusion. Well you guys keep me in prayer and congrats to all pre and post AA sleevers!

      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.
