new member, getting sleeved 12/27



Recommended Posts

Hello! This is my first post, I'm getting sleeved on thu in Tijuana. I'm really nervous but also excited. I've had butterflies in my stomach for days. I can't wait to be on the other side of this. I'm 26 and in the last 4-5 years I've gone up to 360 lbs, I remember when I was 180 in high school and thinking I'm never going to let myself get to 200 and now I'm heavier than ever. I'd considered getting surgery for a couple of years but never really looked into it, but seeing my friend go through with it and seeing how awesome she looks and feels about her self, i decided it was time! I've been reading around this forum for a couple of months and I'm so glad i found it! It's great to be able to read so much experiences and info on this. I'm looking forward to be able to share all my accomplishments and read about all of yours. I don't know how to close this so I'll just say, i can't wait! lol thanks for taking the time to read my post, i will write again as soon as i can after surgery. Happy holidays to all!

Thanks, surgery went well for me, but of course ive been feeling crappy all day lol it's all worth it! On a side note, i was nervous about how i was going to act while waking up and when they brought me back to my room i kept telling my mom i hated every fast food place i could think of lol

Things went well! Staying here another night to get some extra rest. Feeling pretty good, except lots of hiccups. Doesn't feel so good. Looking forward to go home and see my husband and my 18 mo old son. Passed the leak test, so I am hoping to not have any side effects! Hope you're all recovering well. We made it!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
