West Cost Menter Wanted.. Are You Sleeved?



Recommended Posts

Hello!

Looking for a sleever who is further along than I! This is not hard considering that I have yet to be sleeved! I am still enduring all the testing and meeting of insurance requirements.

You: Sleeved and in the process of weight loss, perhaps female, open, and easy to chat/talk/e-amil or text with.

A little about me: I am a Mom, wife and college student (almost done!). I am trying to decide if I will enter into my Masters or Doctoral program, but none the less I need to take some time to work on my health and well being! I have done a great deal of reading about the sleeve and I am thrilled to have this option afforded to me. I live in Oregon.

Until Then,

Sannah

Sannah,

I am 7 months post-op (December 13th), live in SoCal, spent 6 years in the St. Johns area of north Portland, and am available if you have questions. I'm a Mom, a school counselor, and a happy sleever. :-)

Thank you kindly for offering your support and time!! I feel thankful!

I hope your day is off to a good start!!

Until Then,

Hellonurse!

I am having some weird profile problems. I have the app on my iphone. I am just realizing this and I am not sure what to do. Both have the name Sannah, but different photos. I want to avoid any confusion.

Until Then,

Sannah

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
