Recommended Posts

Firelle, are you my sleeve buddy? Did you cut your hair ...you look so different and great!

Yes it's me, lol! After I got sleeved, I wanted to do something drastic on the outside too - Goodbye foot and a half of hair! Have never had it this short before. And I got it dyed too.

I'm supposed to be shooting for 600-800. I am a month out and still can get above 500. Most days 400.

This is so tragic. One of our February Sleevers group, lifesaveremt, has passed away due to a blood clot. He had his surgery on Feb. 27th. I feel so sad for his friends and family. He probably went into the surgery like all of us, excited for our healthy futures.

My prayers go out to his family. We sign the waivers saying we understand a blood clot among others are possible risk with surgery, but does anyone know if there are preceeding symptoms we should watch out for?

Shortness of breath. Swelling pain and redness to the calves. That's some of them.

      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.
