I can do a poll in another thread. We should come up with a few ideas:

Maybe:

-Sizzling Sleevers

- Sparkling Sleevers

-July Firecrackers

- Red, White & Blue Crew

- Lucky Number Sevens (July being the 7th month of the year)

I'll post a poll with these and a "other" option :)

HI everyone,

Sheila here. I am having my sleeve done on July 27, here in Canada. Dr. Lawrence Farries is my surgeon.

I am so excited and ready for this surgery. Not only will I be sleeved, but I will have my gallbladder removed as well as a hernia repair. I am getting a 3 for 1 deal.

The next 6 weeks will be exciting.

Sheila

I'm Heather, my surgery is scheduled for July 20 in South San Francisco, CA.

I can't wait... I was originally scheduled for June 22, but I got a cold the week before surgery and we had to postpone, then my doc couldn't get me in for 4 weeks. I'm a little bummed since I'm supposed to be waking up in the hospital today and have a tiny tube shaped stomach, but I'm still sick and I know even if I had no complications with my cold, coughing like I am with a bunch of holes in my belly would not be fun.

I'm also getting my gallbladder out when I get sleeved.

        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.

      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
