Any March 27th sleevers out there



Recommended Posts

Well if it makes you feel any better... My doctor had me on 3 shakes a day and 1 meal a day. I think it is only a doctor preference. The diets are for their benefit to shrink your liver. I think you will be fine!! Just breathe, try and get some sleep. Because tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life :)

Good Luck

I'm on March 29th & getting a bit nervous as the day approaches. But I'm still very excited for my surgery.

I feel rather lucky since my doctor does not require a pre-op diet. I was just advised to reduce my food intake somewhat in this final week. My heart goes out to you all dealing with pre-op restrictions.

I'd loved to hear how everyone's surgery goes. Good luck to all!

I found GasX strips at Walgreens. They are expensive but seem to be helping a tiny bit.

      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.
