Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I hope to get a surgery date in February. My insurance is approved, my office visit is paid and I am still waiting on a surgery date! I actually called this morning because I wanted to find out what was taking so long. I was put through to a recording that if you have not been called yet they are still waiting on the 2014 surgery schedule. What?? This is frustrating! I want this done ASAP-I want to look decent in a swim suit this summer :) I'm so happy for all of you with dates already!

Sleeve sister, love it! Lol. Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, IL. It's a suburb of Chicago. How about you?

I'm in Philly, havin surgery in Mexico tho. My insurance has an exclusions policy for anything relates to weight loss/obesity including surgery :( so I did tons of research and it's off to MX I go. NEVER thought I'd want to lose weight enough to have surgery, much less in Mexico but here I go in 27 days!!

But I'm getting nervous, I can't really afford to take too much time off from work cause I have so much to do and so scared of letting my boss know. Do I HAVE to tell him all the details?

Legally, no. You do not. It's even against the law for him to pressure you for the details.

Thank you! I was super nervous about it, I'm just gonna tell him that I have an unexpected surgery coming up.. everything will be fine and that I'll need at least one week off for recovery? Hopefully that will be enough.

You could say "it's a female thing" and he will probably drop it. I'm hoping to be back in 10 days or less. I want some vacation days left for summer.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
