I'm a September Sleever myself, just popping in to see how everyone is doing with their new sleeves? Also, wishing successful procedures to everyone who is still waiting their turn!

Doing really good here! Have trouble some days getting in liquids and then others its a breeze! Only complication is Constipation ugh! But recovery has been fairly easy! Good luck to you! It's an amazing journey and is mental challenging at times but I wouldn't take it back for a minute!

It was he told me to lose the weight but I didn't I thought he would still go through with the surgery but he said it's not safe so I gotta lose the weight I made my bed now I have to lay in it

I'm really sorry. I am sure that is very frustrating. You got this! You can and WILL do it! Low carb is what did it for me and my pre op diet seems to be quite effective too.

I am up and ready. Reporting to the hospital for 6am. I pray for minimal gas pains and less prodding. I am going to put on my big girl panties and suck up the whole experience.

See you all on the losers bench.

I have found that GNC AMP Protein is not THAT bad. The Cookies and cream mixed with Water is actually pretty good. It mixes smooth and doesn't have a bad after taste. Good thing about GNC.. if you don't like it... take it back and they will refund you <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Wow I have to try that... Thank You

      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.
