Why did they move your date? I am sorry to hear that moved it.

Hello Everybody! I would like to join the December 2013 sleevers group.

My name is Tiffany. I am 32 years old, a wife, and a mother of a beautiful little girl.

I am scheduled to be sleeved on 12/10/2013 and I am super nervous. I have been debating the surgery for over 3 years. I have finally come to the realization that I cannot lose the weight on my own... I went through all of the insurance requirements to be approved for the sleeve, then backed out... Now, I am here to finally follow through with the surgery.

I work as a clinical quality/risk manager in a hospital, so I am super duper freaked out about being that one-in-a-million where something goes horribly wrong. I am getting better and better each day though. My family is being SO AWESOME in their support of me.

I look forward to going on this journey with each of you.

Tiffany

My insurance is weird, I couldn't have my psych eval until after I was approved for surgery. Well I now have to take a written portion for the eval and I can't do it until my insurance signs off on it. I'm actually on the phone with insurance now trying to get them to push it through. Wish me luck!

Wow that is crazy, but fight for your self. Call the Dr office and have them fight fir it too. I hate insurance for these reasons.

      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.
