Any Nov 15Th Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My surgery date is 2 days away, 11/15 in NJ. Wondering if anyone else is having surgery the same day? I see a lot for this week, but not much for 11/15. Can't believe it is only 2 days away, we set this date in September! I'm sort of numb and nervous all at the same time!

When do you leave for Mexico and how long do you have to stay there?? Good luck to you!! We need to check in with each other and see how we are doing after surgery! I'm having a hard time believing it's 2 days away and of course, second guess myself. However, I've tried everything!! You will be in my prayers that your surgery goes well! Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing and I will do the same! :)

Hey hey, Thx and good luck to you all as well!! I leave to Mexico tomorrow Wednesday 11/14 and return Saturday 11/17. My nerves are awful. I will definitely keep in touch and let you know how I am. It will be a real good thing to keep in touch so that we can help each other through this experience. I have been second guessing myself all week, but then I remember all of the reasons for why I am doing this and then I start to feel better. I know why I am doing this and so do you just keep that in mind and you will be okay. I am still nerves though, lol. Toots!!

I'm the 15th as well... Getting close enough to start counting down the hours. I started the paperwork and such last February. Kept dragging my feet about getting all the test done. Finally finished them up around the 4th of this month and took the first available date. Good in a way, less time to freak out about it. I'm glad I'm doing it but the clear liquid pre-op diet was brutal.

Wish you all the best of luck.

Hey beetracy! I am in Bryan, and will be sleeved tomorrow as well!! If I could choose one word to describe the way I'm feeling now, it's ANXIOUS!!! Good luck to all of you.

Hello Brian! I am less anxious than I thought I'd be. I am actually really relaxed but I have worked hard to prepare for this and I feel ready. I think if anything I am more concerned that the anxiety is going to kick in like right before I go under or something. Like I am goin to totally have a freak out. For now, I have been sleeping like a baby and enjoying life! :) maybe your normal reaction will provide a very calm patient! Lol I fear my unnotmal calm is a brewing storm of crazy...;)!

LOL I feel the same way Beetracy!! I am unusually calm and today when I took 15 minutes staring into my closet trying to figure out what to wear to work and what actually fits me I realized that YES this is the right thing to do because I can't continue to go on like this! I, Like you, am wondering if this is the calm before the storm and that I will all of a sudden have a melt down at the hospital once they start to wheel me in!

Good luck tomorrow! :)

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
