Hi! Looking for a sleeve buddy. Is anyone getting sleeved around April 4?

I am in nc and I am having the vsg on April 4th, too. So cool to see others doing it on my same day! I am nervous and excited all at the same time. I started my prep diet today and also stopped smoking, so not sure how pleasant I will be for the next few day ;)

Good for you! I know it's hard to quit smoking, but it's so worth it. I quit last June. The second day was the hardest. Now, I can't even stand the smell of it. Good luck!! You can do it!

Okay, everyone I think I am going to start an April 2012 sleeve group and invite you all to be in it, and anyone else who will be sleeved in April can join for that extra added support. I will do this in the next day or two. I looked into it and you need at least five people to create a group, we have way more than that.

Hi, I live in NC, but I'm having my surgery at the VA hospital in West Virginia on April 19. I definitely need support and a sleeve buddy.

Ok, waiting for a forum then. Until then, just found out my husband may not be here for my surgery date on the 1st. Yikes! Can I do it alone?

Do you have anyone who can be with you? As a Recovery Room nurse I know the staff will take care of you but it's so much better to have someone who can speak up for you and you will have to have someone drive you home. Good luck!

Hey SkinnyMom, thanks. Hopefully he will be back the day before, but you never know with air travel and international at that. I really hadn't wanted to tell any of the other family members here, so we'll see. It may come down to a friend from work if I am desperate. ;) I would just hate to be a baby around anyone else.

Oh no, that stinks :( ! My immediate family members know that I am getting the surgery, but I have told anyone else (other than my hairdresser). You may want to try to find someone else for support. It may be hard to do it alone, but I'm sure it has been done before. Will your husband be home to drive you home from the hospital?

Yes, and hopefully he won't miss it. We are here in Kuwait and its his family, so I don't really feel like telling them all my business. ;)

Oh yes, Carly, I completely understand! My husband's family doesn't know anything either and I'm planning on keeping it that way. I sent you an invite to the group. Did you get it?

      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. 🤞
