Any May Sleevers Yet?



Recommended Posts

Thanks for sharing that information. I have been reading so much about Dr. Kelly. I am sure he is great but it all comes down to what you are comfortable with. I chose Dr. Aceves because I keep hearing that when it comes to revisions, he is the man. :)

Can't believe we are already in April. When I first started thinking about revision to sleeve it was February and May seemed so far away. I am so glad it is almost here. Can't wait for the life changing event. :)

I agree, is all a matter of personal comfort! Are you having a sleeve revision or going from lap band to sleeve? I have heard great things about Dr. Aceves, good luck with your surgery!

I'm scheduled with Dr. Ponce in Tijuana may 17th!!! It can't get here quick enough!

Yay! I was sleeved May 17, 2011. I've been trolling the May group looking for someone who will share my sleeviversary! I will be thinking of you on the 17th and wishing you a speedy and uneventful recovery. It's been a long year, but I do remember how frightened and nervous I was. I'm here to say one year later that it is so worth every minute!

      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.
