January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I think I put on 4lbs or so over the holidays but I figure I'll probably lose it during this preop diet. I'm so glad I don't have to do liquids, I wouldn't be able to function.

Mine could be January or February it was suppose to have been done in December but for reasons out of my control I'm stuck waiting for docs assistants to get on the ball and get me in for remaining test needed to be done there at ucsf.

January 25 for me. Started pre-op diet a few days ago. Getting sleeved in Cancun with Dr. Perez. Post-opping in Isla Mujeres with my husband for a few days before heading back home. Nervous about the surgery but really looking forward to the recover time.

The 8th is almost here! I am excited for all of us!! I am doing the "nervous / anxiety" type stuff right now - like cleaning my room, closet, bathroom (want it all to be comfortable for me when I get back from hospital). Organizing like crazy - reminds me of when I nested before my kids were born...lol - I guess this the new "birth" - just delivering a stomach instead of a baby...lol!!!!

      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. 🤞
