Looks Like I Will Have To Join The Nov Sleevers Now



Recommended Posts

Hi, i was supposed to be having my sleeve tomorrow, but due to a blood problem will probably be in november now, was really dissapointed, but a month is not that long compared with the 22 months i have already waited.

Anyway, just wanted to wish all the october sleevers best wishes and pray that everything goes well for you, and look forward to reading your success stories soon, :) x

Ah, I am so sorry your surgery has been delayed. But I know it is for a good reason. At least you are not denied...only delayed. Chin up. A new you is around the corner.

Thank you, this is a very testing time, I had a call this morning to say that the results of my blood test could take 6 weeks, I was in despair, but turned to my bible and found comfort and the strength to continue to Trust in God and as u said, it is a delay and not a cancellation, I don't understand why, but trust that God will work everything together for my good, and it is great to have the support of fellow sleevers, :-)

Only 5 days since the blood test and I am finding the waiting difficult , I have had a few cheats but have done well today with the liver shrinking diet, and I am down a dress size, most of my clothes are too big for me now, but it has been 23 months since my first appointment for the surgery, I have gone from a 34 to 28 and am really pleased that I am no longer in the size 34's. Trouble is I have one pair of trousers that fits me and am not wanting to buy any more, but will soon be into 26 's If i carry on like this, and I have a few more clothes in that size from when I lost weight last time.

People have begun to say that I don't need the operation now, but they don't understand the struggle I have had with keeping it off in the past, I am determined to wait it out and get my sleeve. I have been open and honest with my friends and family about having the sleeve and a lot of them are not happy with me, but I know my own mind and after reading all the positive stories on here am even more sure that the sleeve is so right for me.

Keep on eating right to get to your promised land, I know I am, x

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
