Hey all' date=' I am a sleever living in Lawrence, approaching my 2 year surgiversary. I was sleeved in CA but have lived here for a year and would very much like the support of real people, much as I love the VST forum, having a diet/health/fitness buddy in real life can't be beat. Hit me up if any of you are interested![/quote']

Hi I live in Ottawa if you're interested. My email is Wilson.Tamara 31@yahoo.com

Congrats on your surgery date:) I has my sleeve 1/23 with Dr. Hamilton in the same office. It's a great practice! The pre op is the worst but trust me you can do it!! I know it's hard when you have a family to feed but doable.

I have my first appt with this practice on 3/4. What can I expect at my first appt? Do they schedule all your nutrition appts/psych eval/ everything at the first appt? So excited!

At your first appt you meet the doctor and he will answer any questions you and then you meet with a case manager who coordinates all you pre op stuff and she will give a work sheet of to do's prior to your surgery. The case manager helps you get though all the steps. All the staff is very helpful and nice:) I would recommend attending the support groups before surg if you can they are so helpful.

      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.
