I'm sitting at Mi Doctor Hospital waiting for my turn and listening to music on the laptop. I'm last to go in of the 4 of us here today. Leprechaun is first! The hospital is clean and the staff are super nice. I met with our surgeon Dr. Lopez and he was ready for questions but I told him Leprechaunmomma already had that covered and I'd get the answers from her, hee hee. Last night the broth and popsicles were like a buffet with soothing tea after. I don't feel deprived or very hungry at all. The popsicles were pureed cantaloup melon frozen on a stick , heaven to my tastebuds! I'm missing my family but loving this trip. Yesterday we sat by the fountain out front of the hotel and watched traffic. The breeze was light and cool and the sun felt great. I really want a palm tree but customs won't let me :( Good luck and best wishes on a speedy recovery to all of us going in today. I'll check back in after surgery.

I'm scheduled tomorrow with Dr. Yu in Houston, Texas. For some reason I show up on some lists and not on others. Anyway, good luck to everyone being sleeved tomorrow.

Tomorrow is the big day! Here's an update on where I am so far. I did the pre-op liquid diet for 3 weeks and lost 18 pounds. I admit it that I cheated by usually eating some Protein at night....the pre-op diet is SOOOO HARD!!! I went from 195 pounds to 177. I'm really hoping my new smaller tummy will make the post op diet a little easier! =) I want to get down to at least 140 pounds, but would love it if I could get down to 125-135 range. We'll see how well my new tool helps with that!

Not nervous at all, but I know I'm never going to be able to sleep tonight. Best wished to everyone that is having surgery tomorrow. Good Luck!

Good luck, everyone! I was sleeved August 21st. I had terrible gas pain in my shoulder the first day. After that, whenever it starts, I know to just get up and walk. So even if you feel achy, WALK!! It really does help!!

I still have pain on my left side where all the work was done, but each day it's a little better. What suprised me is that it really hurts to bend down, and to get up off the toilet. Those are my big 'ow's'.

Let us know how you all are doing!

Happy Tuesday everyone. I was sleeved yesterday by Dr. Alvarez. Was in surgery before 9. Have had no pain and shockingly no gas pains.... Yet. I did a little walking yesterday but it was so warm in the halls that it made me a little light headed. I have been sleeping a lot but I am fine with that. The staff here is so wonderful. Very attentive. I will be up and moving soon :). How are the rest of the Monday sleevers doing?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
