I am so excited to be here and get life moving on the right track!

I'm a first timer on here!!! My next appointment is march the 14 where I will start my liquid diet. I'm so nervous and excited and scared, hell I'm not sure how I feel! My surgery will be April 3rd. I'm 32 and weigh 187. I'm starting out with what is considered a "low BMI" but obesity is bad in my family and u have struggled for years. I'm so ready to be healthy and feel better physically and emotionally!

I finally found a sleeve sister!! I will be having my surgery on April 3rd as well! I weigh 240 and 5'6" and I am 39. I start my liquid diet on March 20.

I am scheduled for 4/11 also with Dr. Pecquex in Boston. I am starting to get very nervous that I am going to go thru all of this and its not going to work for me. Looking forward to seeing how all the April sleevers progress!!

I am having my surgery with Dr. Pecquex too!! We don't have an official date yet... But it will probably be middle to late April. Good luck with everything!

Hi April sleevers. I am to be sleeved on April 10th. I received my approval yesterday. No pre-op diet for me. I decided to cut alot of my comfort foods anyway. I am still in shock mode. My insurance required a 6 month medically supervised diet as of Jan 1 of this year I did 90 days and the surgeon sent everything in anyway to see if it would get approved since I started my diet in December, last year there was a requirement of 3 months. To my shock they approved.

I am a LPN presently and in school to become an RN. I am also single with 3 teenagers. I have never been a skinny woman ever in my life. I figured out my wait has been my wall to not get attention. So to have this wall to be dropped and become exposed is like WOW and my question to myself was AM I READY? My answer is, hecks yeah. Time to say good bye to the caterpillar and become a butterfly and I am so excited not only for me but my kids so they can experience me more active in their life. Not to mention my kids so I can be a inspiration to them. I thank God for this group and I wish you all well.

        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
