Indiana Sleevers



Recommended Posts

After all these month (since Jan) my date to get Sleeved is the 19th as strange as it may sound it seems so far away' date=' Wednesday is my pace appointment , so when I start that then the ball will start to roll.. Any pointers on the liquid diet, I might have to ask the sherif to lock me up in the Scott Co. Jail just so I can stick to the diet for two days.....[/quote']

I slept as much as possible. And ya never know, I was scheduled for surgery and at my PACE appointment they bumped me up to a special Monday morning appointment ;)

I can bring you broth in jail! I live on first street lol the jail is just a couple blocks up from me ;)

I just got the call with a date! July 1st!! Ahhhhh...it makes it all real! :). I'm excited, anxious, etc

So here's my next dilemma. That is exactly 2 months before my wedding! So I'm trying to decide for sure if I want to have the surgery now or wait until late October. I don't mind the limited food/drink but want to feel physically good on my wedding day, not tired, weak, etc. Obviously there is always a chance for complications.

I wanted to get the thoughts of my Indiana peeps!! Let me know what you think!?

2 months I was still very drained but I don't know how much of that was complication related. My mother had no complications and was exhausted for about 8-10 weeks. It's a tough call! I don't envy you there!

Knowing what I went through, I wouldn't, honestly. But I was in the hospital for a month for a leak from a faulty staple. Crazy slim chance. But when we weren't sure if I'd make it we discussed getting married in the hospital :)

Statistically, you'll be fine!

Everything is going great. I just drank some tea and walked 6 laps around the halls. Gas pain sucks but is getting better. A lot better. Should be going home tomorrow.

      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.
