January 2012 Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Hi All -

I'm scheduled for Jan 25th at 3:30. I was hoping to get a morning surgery time so I wouldn't have time to worry. I'm also excited & a little scared.

January 27th with Dr. Almanza! I'm so excited! My birthday is the 25th, which was when I was originally going to have the surgery, but I wanted my husband to be able to come with me so I changed it to the 27th smile.png I'm so excited I can't sit still! n2dvn - maybe we'll pass in the halls - me on my way in, you on your way out! smile.png

- oh and kicking myself for not keeping up on that 4 years of Spanish in high school - at least half of what i can remember will be useful - I can order a beer and ask for the bathroom :P

I am Jan. 3 with Dr Ramos Kelly in TJ... even though the excitement of the holidays are here, I almost can't think of anything but my surgery.

I started my preop diet today and took all of my measurements.

UGHHH...I can't wait!!!

Anyone else headed to Mexico?

I haven't got my date yet, but all my paperwork was submitted for approval today. It's likely that I'll be part of your gang :)

Speaking of, we need a catchy gang name...

Like the july sleevers are the july firecrackers...

any ideas?

I'm "tentatively" scheduled for January 18th!!!! I just called my insurance and they said that the notes on the case stated "everything meets the criteria" so God willing they will be sending out my approval letter VERY soon!! PLEASE keep your fingers and toes crossed for me that everything goes by smoothly and QUICKLY!!

I can't wait to be sleeved in January!!!!!

Received my pre-op paperwork in the mail today! I have to go over to the hospital for labs after my pre-op appointment on Jan 5. Beyond that, I may have only liquids for 24 hours before and cut off food and drink entirely at midnight the night before. I'm so excited! January 9, here I come!

I am scheduled for January 18th. I start my pre-op liquid diet on the 5th. I was supposed to get it done in December, but none of the dates would have worked. We are moving into a new house and with Christmas, I know the date is going to creep up on me! Can't wait!

Looks like it's either the 11th or 25th depends on the surgeon. I hope to find out very soon. As much as I really want it done now so the 11th would be faster, my dh is out of the country that day and with the kids and hospital being over an hour and a half away I guess I'm hoping for the 25th. I'm so ready to have this done, but realize it's for the rest of my life. Patience is something I need to work on.

      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.
