Im A May Sleever!



Recommended Posts

Hi

I am due on 15th, but I am n Australia. I suppose to stay for 3 days post op, but I am diabetic and did have a kind of cardiovascular problem, I think these three days is essential for the dr to make sure that everything is going well for me.

As ur doctor choose for u only one day stay, ur health might b stable and he thinks that u don't need longer medical attention post op. u shouldn't be worry if ur health post opneeds longer stay make sure that ur dr will never discharge u.

By the way shorten ur stay in the hospital if don't need too is much better as this will decrease the risk of getting the hospital acquire infection. So just b positive and don't hesitate to discuss any of ur concerns with ur dr, that is ur health and ur right to feel safe and comfy

Good luck

Amany

Gwen. What part of NJ?

I was told no caffeine. Decaf coffee or tea is fine. My hospital actually will serve that on the tray to me day after surg. My NUT gave me a list of what will be served in the hospital.

costco shakes are the best! I highly recommend them. They are called premiere and buy a magic bullet blender it's great!

I am still waiting for insurance approval. But I am scheduled this fri may 11 !!

I was told no coffee as the caffeine is an irritant to the stomach. Decaf is ok. I had been a serious, daily coffee drinker for years an the withdrawal was awful. I had a 5 day Migraine and ended up having to take one day off work because I felt so sick and weak. I have been off coffee for a month now and don't even miss it. I even bought a small latte this weekend and didn't finish it.

Plus all the calories And the money that I save makes it worth 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. 🤞
