April 2011 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I did read your post and replied... I'm so sorry!! You gotta take care of it though, in order to have surgery. It should only be a few weeks of medical regimine before you can retest and see if it's all cleared up. I'm so sorry sweetie!! Make sure you get it taken care of!!!

I just got a phone call today, April 8th, asking if I would like it done next week, April 14th. Well, let me think about that........YES! I am now an April sleever! Going out to a last dinner tonight and starting a liquid diet tomorrow. Lots of pre-op appointments and running around to do in the next 5 days.

April 26th for me!

April 26th for me too - I can hardly wait for it to be over!

I say "over" when it's just the beginning, but the months of jumping through hoops will be great to have as a thing of the past.

I didn't have to have a 6-month supervised diet, but it has been over 4 months since I went to the 1st seminar.

Now I keep thinking something will go wrong; that the doctors will start the surgery and then say...

"Sorry to inform you that we discovered an Alien incubating in your stomach - we had to cancel the procedure. Also, you owe us 60,000 because the feisty little sucker spit acid all over the stapler and then bit a nurse"...

Best of luck to you (and me)...

      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. 🤞
