Hi Everyone!

Yes there is a FB that is private. Strength In Numbers Sleeve Support is the title of the group. There are about 5-7 of us in there. Would be great if people would join so we can chit chat easier on FB and get to know one another.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Cathy and I live in Saskatchewan, Canada. I am being sleeved by Dr. Alejandro Lopez at Tijuana Mi hospital on Sept. 2/13. I am staying at the Marriot. I am very excited with a little pinch of nervous. Anyone else out there on this date.

Hi Cathy,

Yes I will be in TJ for surgery 9/2 by Dr. Venazuela. I did get a chance to talk to Beth. So that will make 3 of us pacing the halls!

That link doesn't work.

Another September 10th here. Would like to join a Facebook group if someone sets it up!

I will be having my surgery on September 16th at the Fresno Kaiser hospital. I kinda wish they had a sooner date for me but I didn't want to change surgeons and I still have labs and another visit with the surgeon that I have to get done before the 16th. So this gives me time to get everything done at a relaxed pace,gives me another month to gather post op necessities, and gives work plenty of notice so they can figure things out as far as schedules go!

Do you think you have to be retested after the antibiotics?

Yes, some physicians will redo blood work .

Same for me! I have been away from my computer all day long (working with about 30 kids on a circus:) ) and I am just now catching up!

      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.
