I'm getting sleeved on Wednesday and would love to meet other So. Cal. Sleevers. I am close to the San Gabriel Valley or Inland Empire (Pasadena, Arcadia, Monrovia, Rancho, Glendora, Upland, San Dimas, La Verne, Claremont, etc.) - Mostly Route 66 cities huh?

I like to walk, hike, horseback ride, kayak ...

Congratulations on your surgery! Hoping you're home now and feeling alright. The first week is hell, so if that's how you feel, it's normal. Our group tries to meet every other month either in Corona, Mira Loma, Rancho Cucamonga or Riverside. Watch for updates for the next meeting and hope to see you there.

Actually I feel fine, almost normal except for a tender stomach and some gurgling. They kept me in the hospital an extra day due to low RBC count. I chewed a couple Vitamins with Iron and the level came back up.

Be seeing you all soon. I'm going to go find my cats.

Hey - our next So Cal get together is March 3rd, somewhere in the Inland Empire. Send "sleeve 4 me" a private message if you want to get details on location, time, confirmation of date.

Group is usually about 10 - 15 people from SoCal. We love getting together just to share stories and cheer each other on.

Hugs!

I live in Claremont and was banded on 4/2. Would love to have a local sleeve buddy! I attended the March meeting and can hardly wait to attend the next one! btw how do you get that weight ticker on your profile page? I'm not the quickest when it comes to techie stuff and can't figure it out!

      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
