Anyone with 180 pounds doing the sleeve?



Recommended Posts

I was 190 at surgery time and I'm 5'3". You'll have to check my ticker because I don't remember what my weightloss stats are, but I think I can get close to first goal of 135 this summer.

Great, when is ur surgery, mine will be this Monday 10th , lets keep in-touch so we can follow our progress together , i really need some moral help and encouragement. We can do it each other. even thought my family is really supportive, only us understand how difficult can be..

I do not have a surgery date yet, I have 1 more nutrional visit (July 2013) and once all the paperwork is submitted, I will get a date. I was told is should not take long to hear back from my insurance. I am hoping I get a date for September 2013. I would lve to keep in touch and follow your progress. Will you post your progress on youtube?

My insurance requires 6 months of nutrional visit.

Wow, I am very sensitive and I am on tears right now...:-( I can relate totally with you, most of my family is obese too, I want to change that circle, and be able to move around ...my small son is only 9th and I don't play with him because of my back pain or take him to the park because my severe incontinence does not allow me to be outdoors I need a restroom every hour. Its so sad to be stock.. Hopefully this decision will help us to have a more enjoyable life..

I have fought my weight my whole life and I can only do so much without physical help. I am so glad you are getting help while your son is young- I wish I had this done before I inflicted my bad eating habits onto my children! Good luck and I hope all goes well on the 9th...that is soon! I bet you are super excited!

I'm almost 5'1. You'll never heard me admit I'm anything else. :)

My highest weight 211. I'm 187 today. I get a sleeve on Monday. Honestly, I'd be happy with any loss that helps alleviate the co-morbidities.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
