Recommended Posts

I Notice this board is predominantly women, I'm not complaining but where are the men? Let's stand together!

Did u see the topic just for men? Maybe that's where they are. I appreciate your comments often though.

To start with, only 20 percent of all sleevers are men. We're out here jimmie. We're just outnumbered.

My hubby is sleeved but has neither the time nor the desire to join a message board! I've tried, but it's not his thing. <_<

So I just wanted to tell you that there ARE men sleevers out there, but typically the men just are NOT as chatty as the women.

Here. I left a post about being the only guy at the bariatric center. I thought for a bit that I was the only guy who had wls surgery. The office staff laughed and said there were a few men but the majority were women.

Well... gee... us women aren't all that bad. It's nice there are a few good WLS men out there, but we don't bite. At least I don't (admit it).

I had surgery mid Jan. I honestly think there are differences between men and women on this journey, but there are a lot of similarities.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM.

      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. 🤞
