February 2012 Surgery Dates- Who's Ready?



Recommended Posts

Man, time is flying by. I just completed my last hurdle, which was my upper GI. I'll soon have my big pre-surgery class and then I'll have to go on the Optifast diet for 2 weeks prior to my surgery.

Best of luck to all of the February Sleevers (and all the others as well).

I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Ramos Kelly on 2/23. I'm excited but scared because I'll be by myself. Anyone else going to Mexico around this time?

Husband and I had our surgery yesterday morning. 2week pre-op liquid diet gave us incredible results. He was down 27 lbs and me, 20. I had them double check because I thought the scale was off. It was perfect. So, we both felt very encouraged going in to the surgery.

We are on liquids for 3 days, then purée for 4 days, then mushies. Super Bowl feast at our house will be cream of wheat and strained cream Soups and yogurt. Sounds wonderful to me!!!

Surgery, a bit of nausea but very little, some pain but never over a six..we had good drugs. First shower tomorrow!!!

How are the other Feb. sleevers that had surgery this week??

      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. 🤞
