Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call



Recommended Posts

I'll be going into surgery this Monday 9-23-13. I am both excited and extremely nervous. I'm worried that I'll get super ill from the anesthesia. I will have a patch on so hopefully that will help. I keep reading all this literature.

Well look forward to connecting w/ all of you.

Soo i had my one year with the surgeon. He wants me to aim for 150 and not 170 since he says most people will regain 10percent back over time so it gives me a little wiggle room. Also asked him about my jiggly tummy and he said to work on my core and it would tighten up alot as i dont have alot of skin like i thought just alot of jiggle haha. He also said that i should wait another year and by then anything i want done would be cosmetic...i was thinking a year anyways so i guess ill need to start working on my core and see if that helps. Over all he didnt complain that i wasnt at goal but did mention that the losing period is over so going forward its all on me.

Sigh so 20 lbs turned into 30 or 40 lbs left to lose. Blah. Oh well just gotta look at the bright side that i have lost almost 90 lbs!!!

Today is my one year surgi-versary! Down 122 pounds and trying to maintain at 135. (Even though I would secretly like to see 129 on the scale just once!) at my 1 year post op appointment I was told I've lost 98% of my excess weight. I'll take that!

      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.

      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.
