August Sleevers?! Where Ya's At?



Recommended Posts

Hey' date=' question for those that have been sleeved-are you guys having a hard time sleeping? I don't think I've slept through the night since my surgery! Frustrating.[/quote']

I slept fine my first night home but think it was because Of the travel home. Haven't slept well at all since. Maybe once I can exercise. I'm tired but just wake up a lot.

Hey, sorry so late. I was recovering, but I had my surgery at Baylor University Medical Center in Dallas. I'm doing tons better! This first week was horrific but I'm reovering well. Thx for asking!

Dr Srikanth did my surgery on the 21st. :) good luck with your surgery and you'll be in my prayers.

Thank you!!!! Did everything go smoothly for you? I am starting to get a little nervous, but mostly just want it to be over! How are you feeling now?

I was sleeved there on Monday! They really have a great system there. Sandy, the bariatric coordinator, was very helpful. Hope you're doing well. I met my liquid goal yesterday and I'm 15gms away from hitting Protein. Yay!

Everything went smoothly, no compilations in surgery. I didn't get nervous until they wheeled me back to holding which is the step right before or. But then I lost it, I was just nervous for the pain that would come after I woke up. I could definitely be worse than I feel now, I have some pain from my big incision, but I also skipped this round of pain mess to see how I could handle. Just relax and take it easy, you'll do great. If you have any questions, feel free to pick my brain. :)

I just want to say hello before I pass out. I has my surgery thurs at 12:15 and that was a breeze except that afterwords I had a tiny leek in the staple area which sent a lot of blood into my.....I can't spell it out lol.....abdomen. This causes terrible spasums which lowered my blood pressure and caused mt blood counts to drop.

So this is day four. I've been typing this for a few days lol. I'm excited that I will soon be on the losers bench!

      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.
