Oct. 3Rd Getting Sleeved



Recommended Posts

I'm getting sleeved tomorrow and I can not pinpoint my emotions right now, If I could describe them it would be anxious, excited, nervous, and I feel a bit weak from being on my clear liquid diet for 2 days.

I will keep you posted on my recovery, my heaviest weight was 325. That was 2 weeks ago, and I weighed in at my doctors last week and was down to 318 lbs. I dont own a scale because I was always depressed about my weight, so I dont know what I weight now.

I felt those same emotions just 2 weeks ago!! I woke up from surgery feeling fine...aside from being sore, I had little pain & no gas!! I was walking 2 hrs after surgery. Went home the next day! I went to my post op 1 week later & had lost 17 lbs ! Try not to worry, you will be fine. I am back to work & feeling great. I pray for a speedy recovery for you & keep us all updated on your progress!! Good Luck!

I am right there with you, Tabithad. I am getting sleeved and having a hiatal hernia repaired tomorrow.

I will be thinking of you! Good Luck to us. We will be on the losers bench VERY soon! :)

Good luck, I was sleeved on 9/18, everything turned out great. I couldnt be happier. I was very excitted to get it done. The process is so long ( or was so long) I had to do the 6 mos weigh in required by my surgeon, and I was just ready to get it done.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. You will be thankful you did this......oh and get a scale, your going to need it to see those pounds shed off of you!!

      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.
