Where Are My April 2012 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

April 12th in the house! I guess you could say I am Anxious more than anything. Never had any type of surgery' date=' but I think of the greater outcome. I think doing my research and being on this forum have greatly prepared me mentally. Physically I will prepare for the worst and hope for the best... Not gonna spend hours worrying about that part. I'm just ready to get this party started and be the person on the outside that I am on the inside... I've been competitive my whole life, and I will tame the sleeve! Hahaha[/quote']

Heyyyy Im 4/12 too. I cant wait. Im praying for a healthy recovery. Good luck to u. #Tame the sleeve# HA I LOVE IT!

I am April 1st and it is now, cause I'm in Kuwait, just two days away! Right now it is Friday early morn. I can't sleep. So anxious. I have one week off from work- I even have a hair appt for the end of this week. Now that is opptimistic, huh?

I woke up remembering last summer when we went to the mountains of NC and I didn't go river rafting with my kids because I was afraid I was too big. I am so praying that I will be able to have a different and better experience this summer!

Best wishes and prayers for all of us Aprilists that we can finally put food and eating in perspective.

Hello April sleevers!

Another April 16th here, with Dr Aceves in Mexicali MX.

I'd like to say I'm relaxed and ready - instead, I keep hoarding Protein like a neurotic hamster! I'm starting my high-protein preop diet on Sunday, which gives me plenty of time to clean out the cupboards, fridge, etc. So this is a good thing.

Two new beginnings: I put in my notice at work so that I could have the time I will need for surgery and recovery, as my work was unable to accomodate my request for time off to take care of myself. On to new horizons!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
