As we all know when ever there are 29 days in Feb that means it is a leap year, which only occurs every four years. Well my surgery happens to be on that day. Lately I have been wondering, going forward on my journey, what date should I choose for my sleeve anniversaries (too funny thinking about the years to come when this year just started). Should I go with Feb 28th or March 1st. Let me know sleeve family what date would you choose?

I say pick Feb 28 and Celebrate by buying yourself a new outfit! It will still fit on Mar 1 too! :D

Hi Andi,

I am excited and nervous all at the same time, how about you. Tomorrow I have to start a two day clear liquid diet. Do you? It looks like we are going to be sleeve sisters. Keep in touch with me and let me know how things go and I will do the same. If you choose March 1st I will too...lol

I do not have to drink the magnesium citrate. Today I had to start a two day clear liquid diet consisting of Soup broth, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles, flavored Water, and just plain Water. I was also told to stay home on the 29th...yeah right I have two appointments tomorrow...yikes lol

What time are you guys going in for surgery? For what ever reason my doctor's office won't give you an exact time until the day before. I guess thats what happens when you have to use a military hospital.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
