July sleevers! Are we ready!



Recommended Posts

Surgery went well today. Was wiped out through most afternoon, but woke about 5:00 and had tons of energy.

Probably did 30 laps around the hall tonight. Very little abdominal pain, but my back aches from a disc I ruptured 4 years ago. Walking is really helping.

I am down 17.3 lbs since starting pre op. Dr says everything looks great. Husband had been amazing. I feel very blessed to have had this done. Thanks to all of you.

Same here! Although nothing is needed at the hospital besides your clothes' date=' I feel like something is missing. I hate that feeling. Good luck tomorrow!![/quote']

Home and sleeved. I took too much junk to the hospital. All I needed was Chapstick, toothbrush, comb and brush, and cell phone.

You are so blessed to have her. I'm on my own. So nervous but there's no turning back for me now. Let me know how it goes for you both please. I'm the 24th.

You can do it. I went alone and my doctor was so surprised. My nieces stayed the night last night she was asleep before me lol. She told me she was scared for me. Awwwww I know her mindset will change the first time I get on her about something. LOL.

ALL THE BEST TO THOSE BEING SLEEVED TODAY AND EARLIER IN THE WEEK!

I'm dying to weigh but my husband hid my scale at my request until I'm home for a week!! Also, I'm dreaming of pureed food which I am allowed to start on Saturday. It will be nice to go back to regular-ish meal times. My hubs is buying me a Nutri-Bullet before then. We have had a magic bullet for years and have used it a ton. So the fact that it'sdying now is no problem...it owes us nothing! but the nutri- bullet has a better construction.

      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. 🤞
