Any sleevers in Las Vegas,NV?

As far as the self confidence thing before surgery . . . I was just breezing along with no problems UNTILL I got into the dressing room the morning of surgery. They wanted me to put on compression stockings that were about as big as my pinky. That was a no go! Then I couldn't bend over to get on the little slipper socks. The final indignity was a hospital gown that ONLY covered my front and left my ass swinging in the breeze! I sat down and cried like a baby. The only thing going through my mind was "I can't do this. I just can't do this!" After my initial breakdown and panic attack my rational, common sense side took over and I was able to continue. The nurses were great! Got me a bigger gown and put the socks on for me. Almost 3 months and 50 pounds later, I'm putting on my own socks and my self confidence is through the roof!!! Hang in there girl. This will be the best gift you could ever give yourself!

Thanks formerblonde. I haven't had a major freak out yet. I'm not really one to show physical emotion so maybe if/when I do it will be good for me. :)

Yes I went. It was good. Pretty good mixture of band and sleeve patients. The only downside was that there was one prospective patient that had not done ANY research on her own, so she was asking basic questions.

I did learn something about taking pills though. One girl said that she get nauseated with taking meds w/o food so she'd eat some, take pills with liquid, and eat more. The lead of the group suggested to chew your food up normally and put the pill in your mouth and swallow with your food. I'm going to have to try it.

        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
