Hi jewels1227! I'm a new member on this site and my sleeve is also tomorrow. Not nervous yet but trying to keep myself occupied today so I don't have to think about it. I'm on a clear liquid diet today which makes me WANT to eat something....just because I can't!! Good luck to you, hope all goes well!

Hey, Diane311. This forum is excellent...I am waiting on the phone call to tell me the time! We are sleeve buddies....lets stay connected....

@Changefromwithin.find a hospital or doctor that will do the surgery and make a appointment. At that appointment they will discuss your next steps. Most doctors that specialize already have everything mapped out for you. I started my process last year in November, and they had a waiting list. So now I am getting sleeved tommorrow. Depending on your insurance and the doctor you get to do it it could be quicker...make sure you do all of your research FIRST!

Good luck and I am here if you need any assistance! :)

So excited for y'all! I was sleeved two weeks ago today :) and it's amazing!! I've already lost about 20 lbs... I was feeling the same thing you guys were the day before! Very anxious but it's so easy! The pain varies from person to person but I was off pain meds in 4 days and back running a normal life by day 4/5!! You'll do Great! The mental hunger is the most challenging part of it.. But I'm learning slowly but surely it's still a journey!! But sooo worth it!! You will start to feel amazing in no time

      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. 🤞
