January 2014 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

That's awesome you are doing it with your husband. I can imagine how helpful that is with the diet and support. My husband is a Cookie Monster who never gains weight even though he never works out. I work out like crazy and still but on weight. I'm ready to get this surgery and the first week post-op behind me.

It is awesome. All the getting ready for surgery has been easier to have my own support group right in my own home. My sister also had it done in March of this year.

You have my same sentiments. Getting past first week post op. Can't wait for Jan 9th to be here. Lol

I wish my husband and I could do it together. That must be so awesome. Unfortunately my husband will never be a candidate because of severe reflux so he would have to go the bypass route. We're really hoping he can make changes enough to lose weight without surgery. I did make him get a sleep study after mine, and sure enough he has sleep apnea too! and high bp and cholesterol! and joint pain....

Calcium with Vitamin D, a good Multivitamin, B12 drops. Bariatric Advantage brand Vitamins are good to look at. Check with your doctor to see any vitamins and supplements they recommend.

I also take and plan to continue Bee Pollen capsules (you can get pellets to mix in shakes) aids in digestion. Has Protein and a ton of other healthy benefits. Fish Oil and Flax Seed Oil. Also a probiotic.

      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. 🤞
