Looking For Dec Sleevers Out There



Recommended Posts

Thanks deeriggs, where are u from, I'm from nj. I see my surgeon tomorrow hopefully he will tell me how long I will be out of work, I fell like I don't want to go bk n have to deal with the negativity or the tension of sitting in the office under my boss everyday.

I am in TN. My doctor said 2 weeks minimum however, I work for the government and my boss is a Chaplain in the Army so I am off the whole month of December. You definitely shouldn't have to deal with the negativity. I think your boss is just jealous because you are taking the steps that you need to to get healthy. :)

I just did my pre-op yesterday too! I hope I'm still cleared for surgery! Seemed like everything went ok... I also start my liquid diet on Monday. My surgery is two weeks later on Monday the 17th. How did your pre-op go? Is your surgeon going to notify you about the results?

Just prayed for you that God takes control of the situation and that your stress level stays down will continue to pray ! Good Luck with everything and God Bless

Thanks! I appreciate it. We are overwhelmed with all the stuff to deal with the lay off, decisions to make, and in the middle of all this- getting ready for my surgery. Days he was going to take off to run errands, he is now in meetings with HR and I am figuring out what medications to refill while we still have coverage. All this time I was going to be getting ready for surgery. I am trying to take moments to be still and just focus on God.

      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. 🤞
