Hi Everyone, I reside in TX. I have not been sleeved yet... March 2013 seems soooo far away! I will be traveling to MX for surgery. I can't really say I have much of a support system. My sister feels as though this is too drastic and that "I should have discipline and lose the weight on my own." One of my good friends thinks that no one looks good who has the surgery and that "they all have a lot of extra skin." So I would really like to meet people who have been through what I will go through and who just understands.

Hi I'm Janie I'm also from TX.. I'm from RGV.. What part of TX are you from? I was sleeved in Reynosa, MX with dr. Felipe Cantu.. He and his staff are wonderful.. I was sleeved on Sept 26 and as of today have lost 38lbs. I don't regret the procedure at all.. I feel wonderful and no matter what people will judge.. I've gotten plenty of "you should of just worked out" but it's easier said than done.. And for me this was the best thing.. wish I had done it sooner.. :) good luck and keep me posted.. :D

Hi guys! I'm Lydia, 24 from Maine. My surgery date is December 21. I'm hoping to meet some people going through the same stuff too. Tomorrow is exactly one month until I get sleeved. I'm starting to get very excited/nervous!

Hi Pelekania! I'm sorry your support network is not being supportive. Maybe it will just take them some time to realize that this is not something that is happening *to* them and that you are not asking for advise or permission - just support. It can be frustrating but give them some time ti adjust. Until then you have us! You can always inbox me if you want.

That is really good! I have not been sleeved yet..the day cannot come soon enough.

How has it been? I have a feeling I may mourn food. From what I am reading, all your sleeve is able to tolerate is about 1/4 of a cup...not very much at all. wont be able to enjoy a steak anymore. :(

44lbs you're doing great! :) I feel like i eat more now than I did before surgery. There are some days that I just don't feel like eating much, those days I'll have an extra Protein shake. For Breakfast I'll have oatmeal or cream of wheat. for lunch i usually have a small salad with half a hard boiled egg in it...yumm... I had my first salad when i went back to work and it was like eating a gourmet meal LOL for dinner i'll have either grilled chicken or fish (tilapia) i'd say a little more than an ounce and a veggie usually green Beans about 1/4 cup....not a lot but it works. I work 12 hr nights so i don't get to eat as much as i should, but I do drink Protein shakes to make sure im gettin my Protein in. oh i also eat dannon greek yogurt it's pretty good and has i think 12 grams of protein in it. eat on small plates, use small utensils, take your time, and work out....at first i just walked, then after my doctor released me to go back to work i started hitting the gym again. I'm feeling pretty darn good.

      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.
