Kansas City Area Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Is there anyone in NKC that wants to start a support group with me? The drive for the other one is too much for me

Well I'm not sleeved yet but I'm in Ray County - about 45 minutes NE of KC so I will definitely be interested in meeting up a little closer to home too !! - I don't mind driving into KC now and then but yes, it can be a bit of a schlep.

I'm in the northland a lot and would meet with you guys sometimes. I've had to miss the last couple of meetings in blue springs so another meeting would be nice.

Just wanted to let you ladies that were at our last meeting know that my daughter, Madison, was sleeved on Wed. 8/14 by Dr. Guillermo Alvarez in Mexico. Surgery went perfectly and we flew home today. She is so excited to be on the loser's bench!!

I realized that we have a conflict with the 4th Saturday and another meeting. I was wondering if moving the meeting in September to the third Sat, at about 10:30 AM would be better for everyone. They have a group that meets in the large room from 9- about 10:30. We could do earlier and maybe we could sit outside if the weather is good. It is just pretty tight in the small room for all of us to be at one small table. Let me know what you think!

We meet right outside of Blue Springs at the Lead Bank, they have a coffee shop in the basement, The Bean Counter. They have coffee, Protein drinks and other goodies.

I think if we meet about 9:30 AM on the 3rd Saturday that we can possibly sit outside until the room gets cleared. It takes a few minutes to order and get your drink, so by the time we get a drink, the big room meeting should be about ready to be done. Please invite any other local sleevers or those thinking about having the surgery. If you have a favorite snack or recipe please being it to share. See all of you soon!

      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.
