My New Year's Wishes For You, My Sleeve Family....



Recommended Posts

Okay, so those who know me (even a little), you know I'm a softie.. cream puff.... and I LOVE people!! So, I just wanted to share a few of my New Year's wishes that I have for you... my sleeve family...

I pray the New Year brings:

  • Strength for you to conquer any challenge set before you, whether a stall, slow insurance approval or friends/family who don't get it!
  • A greater feeling of confidence and love for who you are inside and out, regardless of the acknowledgement from others
  • More opportunities for you to surround yourself with positive people who Celebrate you and not just tolerate you... You are wonderful and you should hear it OFTEN
  • Favor and blessings beyond your wildest dreams, so that you will know that you are loved, you are a gift and you are AMAZING!!
  • Finally, I pray that you will have an opportunity to encourage someone who is struggling w/ their weight and/or suffering needlessly w/ obesity related illnesses, to at least THINK about and research VSG... You are a witness to how life changing this surgery is... Share it with someone who needs it!!!

My love, hugs and best wishes to each of you and your families as we close a very eventful year and enter a new one filled w/ possibility, opportunity and greatness....

A new year is like a clean canvas in the hands of an artist... what masterpiece will you paint??!!!

Love you guys!!!

Tina

Love it, and all the same to you. I'm very excited for my journey. This site has been such a wonderful resource for me. I truly enjoy reading about everybodies victories and stories. I don't feel as alone with this struggle and love that so many here get it and have the same hopes and fears I do. Much love.

      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
