Ok ya'll. Who is getting sleeved this month? Lets keep a running list so we can all check on each other in September, and all the days closely following surgery. I'm sooo excited (and kinda scared) but my date is pretty far away. Who's close???

August 10th here. Weird but my doctor doesn't have any pre-op special diet to follow, other than trying to increase Protein and decrease carbs. Seems like a lot of people on here have to do a liquid diet pre-op or otherwise.

My Dr. doesn't require a pre-op either. I don't want any excuses to get there and not be able to go through with it. So i'm shrinking my liver and trying to change my habits before surgery. The Dr. and NUT has to know i'm serious about all of this.

I'm your August 2nd sleeve buddy - gosh, that's so soon. I didn't have any type of diet to do before hand other than the pre op liquid diet to shrink the liver, but I also wanted to lose as much as possible and to date am down 47lbs!! The no food thing is getting to me, so I hid in my room for a few hours today trying on clothes. OMG, most were tight, but they were starting to look good, even a few regular size shirts (not plus size) I am so motivated and ready right now. Stella ain't got nuthin on my groove. Uh huh!

My surgery date is Aug 24th! I'd do it tomorrow if I could! I'm MORE than ready! The only thing that concerns me is once I start to eat solid foods, being able to eat slowly enough and not drink with my food! I better start practicing now!!! Good luck everyone!!biggrin.gif

      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.
