August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

I am so thoroughly impressed and in awe of those of you traveling so far to have this surgery. What an absolute commitment and speaks volumes about your strength and determination. I realize that the reason for this (some, not all) may be because you are self pay, and perhaps if insurance covered things on your end, you'd be able to have things done closer to home, but the fact that you have made this choice is really amazing!!

I'm just so proud of all of us!!Regardless of how we got here, we are here and by the end of this month we are going to be one amazing group of August Sleevers!! :D

Good morning! I'm back at the condo...I'm doing good and im so glad i was discharged yesterday. I'm still in a lot of pain and still have a lot of the gas pains from them pumping my body up during surgery. It feels like someones stabbing me in the back. BUT its all over! I have 6 incisions, one was from the drain. I'm trying to get down a whole huge bottle of Protein juice today :( That sucks...but owell...On the road to wellness! I just wish the pains would stop hitting me like a ton of bricks and i wish i could get out of bed myself..My mom was the best nurse ever . I'm so glad i had her by myside taking care of me. Unfortunatly shes going home tonight, but ken is flying in as we speak so thats a plus! I hope i can walk further in a day or two so he gets to see some of myrtle beach too. Thanks everyone for all the prayers and well wishes!! ♥

Sorry everyone i haven't kept up with the list. This is my first time on the computer. Hopefully i can catch up with all your posts in a couple days when im feeling better. I woke up from surgery moaning and groaning that i thought i was having a heart attack, my chest hurt so bad from the gas. I was up and walking within the hour.. to try to get rid of that pain.

feel free to copy and paste and add your name to the list, I wont be able to do it for a little while.

Best wishes to the future august sleevers, and congrats to those already on the loser bench :)

I can't believe im already 2 days out!!!

Glad your doing better, take care of yourself...I have tried to keep up with it, the Facebook one should be up todate with everyone and then I add it here to

I am feeling a lot better n should be home by Sunday. At least it was found before I went home....out of the thousands of surgeries he has performed.. I am his first leak.

They gave me some Zofran which has helped

I bought "sea bands" from cvs, they were with the motion sickness meds...its a Bracelet that has a thing that hits ur pressure point and is good for nausea. helped me alot. i didnt have much nausea

Thanks for the well wishes. I am scheduled to be at the hospital at 5:45am. Haven't eaten all day today of course. I have no idea how everyone did the pre-op liquid diet for 2 weeks. My doc didn't order one I was soo tired and had a headache all day. I drank Water and had sugar free ice pops. I'm still up because I'm soo excited and nervous. I did manage to waste a little time at the mall and caught the Isopure Fruit Drinks on sale for $25 for a case. The Alpine Punch tastes pretty good to me. Just for kicks I bought a goal dress that I hope I can get into by my cruise in December.

Anymore August 10th sleevers still awake?

i got that too... my NUT said i can put in a hawaiian punch/crystal light thing to make it taste better.

Glad your doing better, take care of yourself...I have tried to keep up with it, the Facebook one should be up todate with everyone and then I add it here to

      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
