Recommended Posts

And went home Wednesday around 10pm.

Will' date=' do you have help at home??

I am only required to do an overnight stay. I'm going to be able to be a lot more comfortable at home since I'm pretty independent anyway. No swabs for me but I am trying to sip. However I can only get in 3 before my stomach cramps.

My BFF is helping me on Tuesday and I have various other people stopping by during the week.

Who helped you when you were home?

My hospital stay was nearly 3 days, so when I went home I was good. I'm very independent like you. lol. I didn't want anyone coming over. People were constantly calling asking if needed anything etc. The first week I slept sitting/propped up in Bed. I used my walking stick for few days because I couldn't fully stand straight upright. I was out walking like mad, I just couldn't sit/lay anymore.

Single in Oklahoma....haven't had a real relationship since my hubby passed away in 2007. I'm still pre-op and am looking forward to being sleeved. However, the thought of dating is extremely terrifying:)

So to get the topics rolling...

I was talking to someone recently, who is a sleeve patient, and they said that they would never date a "non-sleever" because they don't know what it's like.

Thoughts?!

I see it being more convenient in the beginning while one is learning how to eat and learning their new lifestyle... But I'm not going to count other people out.

That just seems ridiculous to me.....why would they let that factor determine who they date?!

Are ther so many sleeved men that you can narrow your search down like that? I would say that we all go through things that our partners would not be able to relate to but we all manage.

      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. 🤞
