I got sleeved in Mexico 5 weeks ago. I am doing great. I have always been a fast healer and this surgery was no exception. The only issue I had was getting wore out extremely easy after moving around.

I hsve lost 36 pounds.

The first 32 pounds came off in the first two weeks. I just dropped the other four after a 3 week stall.

I am very happy so far.

I also was worried cuz my knees don't cooperate with me. I was put on a bicycle type machine and the tech had to actually help me pedal the last few seconds so I wouldn't have to repeat the whole test ! Yeah. It was awesome. But I got threw it. U will too. It only FEELS like u might die. Lol. I'm 5'2". 270 lbs before surgery. Surgery date was4/4/13. Today I weighed 210. Only 11 more lbs till I get to onederland ! Been way too many yrs since I could say that! Best to u!

What is the name of your insurance company? I have UHC and they also require a supervised diet. I don't know the duration yet.

      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.
