If people want the March sleevers list continued, someone is going to have to take it over for me, at least temporarily. I was sleeved on Friday, and don't feel like sitting at the computer, and updating the list on my iPad is next to impossible. You would just have to go back and find my last list I posted on the 7th, and copy it, and add anyone who has posted a date after that. Thanks in advance, and sorry for not keeping up.

JolieBug, recovery is coming along, each day is better than the one before it. The first day was pretty much Hell, and I was praying it would all be worth it. But I made it through it, and it's been downhill ever since. Still struggling to get in enough liquids, but today is easier than yesterday. I just posted a summary of the past 3 days to my blog on here if anyone is interested in reading it.

I only slept about two hours last night, and it was a rough two hours at that. Nervous and I had a headache from the nausea patch I think. I didn't know if I could take anything for it so I didn't. On my way now though. Should be on the loser's bench in a few hours!

I'm interested. I'm on the VSG app so do you have a direct link to it?

Hello Ladies,

I've been blessed to have a smooth process. I'm 28, 5'10 and 265 pounds; therefore, I've gotten some negative responses from others about not needing WLS. My height helps me look slimmer but most people have no idea that I weigh so much. In addition to being heavy, my health has been slowly going downhill. I have hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, nerve damage (that previously caused paralysis) and major issues with my bladder. Therefore my close friends, family and I find WLS to truly be a blessing! Losing 80-100+ pounds will enable me to be sexy and HEALTHY!! I started my process on Feb 5th and my surgery is scheduled for March 15th.

I send wishes of good luck, better health and sexier looks to all of you!

Good luck to you from a fellow March 15th Sleever.

      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.
