I just had my sleeve operation on 11/11/13. The prep diet for 2 weeks was tough but doable because I new it was something I had to do to have the surgery. Surgery day was tough, not so much the pain - they took care of that whenever I asked, just sore, tired and weak. Every day has been better and today I almost feel normal. Good luck to you in the next month or so. It goes by fast. Just keep in mind how much we wanted this. Robyn

Hi Missyt. I am pretty new myself and hoping for a February Date. I am tentatively scheduled for Feb 11th but I still have a lot of things to get done to meet the insurance requirements so I guess it will happen when it happens. I am currently on the supervised weight loss required by the Insurance company. This is a long slow process and though some people think it passes quickly... I feel like I'm on the slow roll. Good luck with everything and hope to see you around the boards.

I don't have a date yet just tentatively set for January so it could be the 1st to the 30th! EDG or EGD set for December 18th not required for insurance but dr requires it to make sure the other 20% of my stomach is good!

      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.
