Surgery is in the morning. Have to be there at 6:30! I too have been washing with anti bac soap for 2 days & again in the morning. Scared, excited, nervous all wrapped into one!!! God be with everyone on this journey.

Prayers for Andrew!

Don't know if anyone else is like me, but I watched a whole gastric sleeve procedure (from a Dr. in Marietta, GA) on youtube last night. I couldn't believe they had such a thing on youtube but they do. It was very interesting.

Lol, I've been watching them since I started this journey on 06/19/13! They're so interesting to watch!!

Well tomorrow's our day Cabstewart! Are you ready to join the Losers bench with the rest of the crew????

Something the nurse told me at the pre-op visit… she said that women should not shave their legs or underarms the day before or day of surgery because the razor causes tiny cuts to the skin which can make you more susceptible to infection. I don't know if this applies to men shaving their face, but it would seem that it would. That was a surprise!

Awww man there goes my plans to shave!! I wonder if the same thing applies if we use Nair or Veet???

Surgery in the morning, so many other things going on in my life right now at the same time. But I'm trying to focus on myself. I'm nervous, anxious, excited just everything in one right now! To all my other 12/16 sleevers, good luck to you all. I'll be asking The Lord to protect and keep you all safe. Wishing you all a safe and successful surgery and a speedy recovery!

All you sleeved December wonders make room for the 12/16 group were a pretty big group!!!!

I agree about how disheartening not dropping sizes is! I lost weight over a year and a half omce and it was 50 pounds before I could drop ONE size! That was so painful!

Hope the other Decembers find their way over!

Congrats on your date! Can't wait for us to get this thing started!!

Hello AtlantaRed!! Just sleeved last Wednesday!! Going good, banded June 09. Made the switch after loosing WAY to much too fast and regaining all my weight except 30 lbs. :(. Took me awhile to make the decision to go under the knife for the second time in my life. Have a fantastic surgery in CT @ Yale. Thanks for having this feed!

      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. 🤞
