October Sleevers! Announce Yourselves



Recommended Posts

I'm so jealous! I planned further out because I was told you needed a passport!

I have been waiting for almost eight months for mine. I finally got the ok from the insurance five days ago. I scheduled the surgery two weeks from tomorrow. I start my new diet tomorrow. Recently everything has been moving so fast. I'm really excited and scarred at the same time. I'm 5'1 and weigh 200 pounds. To many it might be crazy that I'm doing a sleeve but they only see the 200 and not the fact that I'm short, really short for the weight. I really do not have anybody to share what I'm feeling so I'm glad I found this forum. Schedule date for the surgery is Oct 2. Does anyone have any good shakes that they recommend?

I'm having the vsg on the Fort Carson Army base. He said the recovery tends to be easier. I have large breast and he said with the 5 incisions I would have a incision at the top of my tummy and I figured that would suck because my boobs rest on my belly where the incision would be. He's done several single incision surgeries and I'm confident that I wont have any problems. Plus he said that none of them developed hernias' date=' so I'm confident that I more than likely wont either.[/quote']

Hey there. Ask your surgeon to talk to the surgeons at Walter Reed in Bethesda, MD about learning the single incision method. Lol. I'll be getting my sleeve done there on Oct 1 and I'm dreading the pain from the incisions and going home with the drain. Yikes!

Best to you

My surgeon knows how to do the single incision :) He told me that with the single incision he rarely puts in a drain, so more than likely I wont have a drain. I'm sure you will be fine and I'm also experiencing pre-surgery jitters.

My insurance had changed its policy so I was going to have to wait and do the 6 month diet but since I already had all my requirements met they pushed me up a month!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!

      Hey guys new to the process looking forward to this new life.

      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.
