Any April 10th Sleeves ?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

This is my first post on here. My sleeve was on April 10th. My sleeve was done by Dr Alvarez in Peidras Niegras, MX..

I wanted to meet people I can share this journey with :) My friends and family are supportive but they can't wrap there heads arounds why I chose this surgery. Every time I tell someone I had this surgery they look at me like I'm Nuts lol

I got contact dermatitis last week :( Went to urgent care and told the dr about my sleeve and she looked at me as if I ran over her dog lol

It's nice to have these forums and I welcome

All friends :)

YAY!!! its nice to see people who had the surgery the same date as me... :)

How are you doing??

Im actually feeling GREAT! the only problem i have is getting the right amount of protien in. :(

Also.. I lost 27 pounds on the First week and lost only 4 the second week now going into the 3rd week i think im experiencing a stall... the weight just stays the same..

Is this happening to you??

Hey I was sleeved 4/15/13 and am down 43 lbs as of today. Total w/ 2 week pre op 55 lbs lost. Pretty excited. I have only told a few people that I had the surgery other than family. I didn't want to get that look either. I see my nutritionist next week. I am curious if I am eating too much/too little. I feel like the weight is coming off slow or something. I think I am getting in all the Protein without having to use shakes...and nothing really upsets my stomach. I kinda expected to have a hard time with certain foods but so far everything I have tried I can eat. Wonder if that is normal...

      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.
