I'm in the group tomorrow too - I'm so excited !!! I started packing and organizing and well' date=' probably over doing anything that's needed (like writing down all sorts of "in the hospital" and "when I'm home" lists for my mom who is taking care of me). I'm a dork - but I have to do something with all the excited energy - I know I won't be able to sleep tonight.

Good luck my fellow 13th sleevers - can't wait til we're all on the losers bench this time tomorrow !![/quote']

Haha Duran! I'm an organizer too. I have about 4 different lists. I'm glad I did though because I've been a little scatterbrained today and it really helped me focus today. Well, I guess I'll go get packed. Finally! Hugs to all of my fellow June 13th-ers!!!!!

I'm so jealous of y'all, my surgery is Monday, 18th, I have been a nervous wreck today, crying about everything! Would any of y'all trade dates with me?

I'm back. Everything went well but it was a rough couple of days. The anesthia was the worst. It made me sick a least 5 times. I feel much better now and I am sipping on my liquids more. How is all of my 13th sleevers doing?

Congrats, glad to have you back! I was sleeved on the 13th too and it was pretty easy, given the circumstances and when I say it was easy, I chalk a lot of that up to everything I learned on these forums - I was very well educated on what to expect. My hardest struggle so far is remembering to take it easy and not over do it.

Mine was good ALSO! I will have to say that coming out of surgery I was HOT and did not want the ox mask on at all. But this has been on of the best experience of my life. I am getting a pedicure right now by my doctors daughter in my beautiful hotel room. Having surgery in TJ was the best choice I made with Dr. Kelly. His family treats you like family.

Dr.Kelly is doing my surgery July 2nd. He hasn't had me complete any medical forms. Will that happen later? Did someone go with you? Thanks :)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
