I'm interested in joining up as well! I'm in pre-op mode right now as I await surgery on June 7, 2013, but after a failed LapBand experience, I certainly recognize the need for community and solidarity! I live in Woodbridge (VA) but work in Rockville (MD), so I'm used to driving...lol. :tongue2:

Seems like I'm late to this party.

My name is TJ and I was sleeved in July 2012 by Dr. Kelly in Mexico. I currently live in Montgomery County' date=' MD and work in DC. I weighed 337 at my heaviest and I am currently at 206 (fighting stupid hard to get down to the 100's). This thread doesn't seem to be too active, but I would definitely like to see more MD/DC/VA sleevers post here.

To those who have been sleeved - lets keep up the drive, lets exercise and lets hit goal.

To those who have yet to be sleeved - you can do it, I had to pay out of pocket and saved for a year before I could, but I did. It is the best decision you will ever make.

Happy Friday![/quote']

Inline,

How was your experience in Mexico? I'm preparing myself for that route in case I'm denied by Aetna? Have you had Any problems finding follow up care here?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
