Announcing my surgery date, July 27, 2011. I know it is barely July, but it is still July. I am excited, anxious, relieved, and ready to get this show on the road.

Hope all July sleevers are doing well and getting ready for the big day.

Hi Sheila,

I'm havingmy surgery the same day. I totally agree, the 27th can't get here fast enough!! The only thing I'm dreading is the 1 month pre-op thats required by my doc. Good luck!!!

Hi.

We should exchange email address so we can keep up with each others progress. Mine is sheila.pinkney@shaw.ca

Luckily I do not have to do any pre-op dieting like the liquid diet. I have been doing nothing but pre-op dieting since November 30 and I have lost more than the required 10% and I am still following the 1 cup of food 3 times a day. Although I do cheat now and then. My surgeon said that changing to this diet from the very beginning helps to train you to prepare for life post surgery.

Anyway, hang in there, our day will be here before we know it.

Hey Sheila,

You're kicking some serious butt on the preop weight loss!!! Nicely done! I had no preop diet so I went on a self impossed one of my own and struggled to lose 10 pounds! With the success you've already had, you'll be a guaranteed sleeve success story! keep up the good work.

The 27th will be here before you know it! Hang in there.

Thank Mike. I have worked hard to lose the weight I have. I wanted to make it as easy as possible for me to reach my goal weight. I haven't weighed myself in the past couple of weeks, and I did today, I need to go update my ticker, yay!

Hope all is going well with your recovery. remember, sip, walk, rest - repeat.

      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.
