I am looking to be sleeved in MX the 2nd week of July. I'm looking at July 11th or 12th, and I should be confirmed soon! I can't wait. I've told a few people, including family members, and everyone is very supportive of this major life decision. My husband is particularly supportive and will be joining me in MX for the surgery!

Anyone else being sleeved around July 11th-12th?

I'm currently around 230lbs (down from 247 in Jan 2013), and I'm 5'4.

Hi there! I am aiming for the 12th or the 15th of July. My surgeon only operates on Mondays and Fridays so we will see. I have only told my immediate family and 1 co-worker and all have been supportive. Good luck with your surgery!

I am at 258lbs and 5'5".

Hi! I have been lurking for months - finally stepping out to introduce myself. I have gone through all the prep work and I am scheduled for surgery on July 8th! Should be an interesting 4th of July! Thanks for sharing your journeys with me!

I am 29, 5'8" and weigh 274. It's time to kick some lbs!

My NUT has me on a diet that started @ 1600 calories in 2/1/2013 and now in down to 1200 calories till June 1st then 1000 calories ...then 2weeks before surgery I go on all liquid 900 to 800 calories ... She wants to ease me into it and its actually been working ... I'm eating every 2-3 hrs so I'm not hungry and Im drinking 64oz of Water sometimes more ... I can't take the appetite suppressants because I get palpitations and I have high BP :)

      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.
