Any New Uk Sleevers Out There?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I'm getting sleeved on 12th November at Nuffield Brentwood with Mr Koak. My pre op slimfast diet starts on 29th. I am very excited but also nervous. My husband is great but he's a feeder and is getting very twitchy about me eating small meals. I have secondary progressive MS and still work part time, as he's retired he's the chef.

Good Luck.. Not far from me.. I'm in Southend on Sea. I'm 8 months sleeved and the best thing I've ever done!! My moms a feeder so I have sympathy. I just told her that I love her very much, lover her cooking, but I need her to live me back and support me with my new lifestyle. She's fine now!! :)

I haven't found it difficult at all. For me so far it's been magnificent. Of course post op for 4-6weeks is challenging but now that is just a very distant memory!! I had no pre op diet luckily so never 'suffered' through that either. No problems after surgery, focused more on 'clean' eating than anything else. No Hair loss to date :) and started exercising after my 7 week post op appointment. I've made a lot of positive changes to my lifestyle.. One thing I'm not anymore is obsessed... Not about the scale, calories, Protein or anything else!! Yes I flow the rules.. Protein first, stop when I'm hungry, weigh every 1-2 weeks. I just get a huge smile on my face when I think of my journey... And I hope that yours is as amazing as mine!!

I was given to take home liquid paracetamol , anti acid reflux drug, laxatives and they are all if you need them which I did not but fragmin is the anti blood clot injection I had to self do for 7 days it did sting a bit but I thought it's only once a day for a week .. Where is your surgery taking place .. Rich

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
