I got sleeved September 18th at Silver Cross Hospital, New Lenox IL. It's a suburb of Chicago.

I feel amazing! I'm walking between 4-8 miles everyday and I'm down 27lbs since Sept 5th.

I'm ok on getting fluids and working on Protein but I'm feeling super strong and healthy! I have been off anti-anxiety medication since 4 days before surgery! Feeling great

I have found that there has not been a single day I have regretted my decision. It feels like a blessing. God has given me a second lease on life and I'm going to embrace it.

Wishing all the sleevers all over all my best!

You got this!

I am going back to work on October 19. I took 4 weeks off total. But keep in mind I had vacation time that I needed to use up. Also I'm a firefighter/paramedic so my job is very physically demanding. I felt it would be dangerous to myself, my crew and my patients if I went back early.

Who is your Dr?

      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. 🤞
