How the sleeve saved my life



Recommended Posts

June 28, 2012 was the day my life (health) was saved. For two years I contemplated this surgery. High blood pressure and obstructive sleep apena gone! Arthritis in the knees, under control! Anyone in doubt of this medical miracle, I'm a living testimony. It hasn't been a year and I still have 40-50 more lbs to go but I am overjoyed. New sleevers, believe it. Congrats to all who are in this struggle and hanging in there!

You are such a blessing ! I am hoping to have surgery in June. I have severe obstructive sleep apnea, high blood pressure, etc. The sleep apnea alone is miserable. You saying that your sleep apnea is gone is priceless. You have given me such hope and I thank you. Keep up the great work. You are Georgeous!

      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. 🤞
