Getting Gastric Sleeve Surgery Tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

I am getting sleeved tomorrow (11/21/2011). I just found this website and thought it would be helpful to join.

My heaviest weight was 390 lbs. Today (1 day before surgery) I am at 365 lbs. I am so ready to begin my journey. I am getting sleeved at Baton Rouge General Hospital by Dr. Frelich. I just went through the liquid diet phases ( 1 week of full liquid and 1 week of clear liquids), Those two weeks were probably the hardest two weeks of my life. I will keep everyone updated on my weight loss as I make the journey.

By the way, can anyone tell me how to get the weight loss and bmi counter that everyone has at the bottom of their posts.....Thanks so much!

Good luck tomorrow. You are about to begin the journey of a life time. You can find the weight loss tickers at http://www.tickerfactory.com, http://www.weight-loss-center.net/weight-loss-tickers.html, http://www.my-calorie-counter.com/weight-loss-ticker.asp or http://www.matthewscaloriecounter.com/.

You could also google search for weight loss ticker or counter.

Best wishes!

      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.
