African American Sleevers

I have my last visit with my dietician on 9/5. Then on to submitting to the insurance company. Any suggestions on any thing I can prep for in advance? IE Vitamins, Protein Shake info. Also has anyone juiced with the sleeve?

Where do you find them. What do they taste like?

I am having the sleeve surgery Aug 21. Very nervous. How long will it take me to heal and return back to work, and what's the best protien shake to buy and where?

Your question relative to how long it will take to recover varies from person to person. I was sleeved on July 29th- I returned to work half days two weeks afterwards. My work does not require anything physical. It's the sitting all day that I was afraid of. Didn't want to risk blood clots. I have tried numerous Proteins. My favorite right now is Chike, I've tried the Unjury but couldn't handle the after taste. I also like Opifast it comes already mixed just refrigerate and drink. This week I've bought this local deli Soup chicken tortito and potato soup drained chunks out before eating, loved it, consumed 1/3 cup per meal. I drink crystal light in every water bottle. I hope this helps. Keep the faith and follow your doctor's orders. Keep in touch!

Has anyone used the Gastric binder? I saw it on one of the Bariatrics online stores. I'm just curious.

      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.
