Any February 2014 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

All my pre op tests are done, insurance approved surgery date 2/25. I have to be at the hospital @ 5:45 AM 1st sleeve of the day. I start my liquid diet on 2/15. I am a bit scared, nervous, anxious, excited. It also doesn't help that my wife is also getting scared and second guessing the whole thing, She is my ROCK and I need her support. She is afraid of losing me, kids losing there dad, or see me go thru this and it not work. I keep telling her I'll be fine and it WILL work, I will make it work. Good luck to everyone.

Hahaha. As if being on the 'quids isn't rough enough. Our hospitals pavilion where we get our pre-op tests done just opened a subway in place of their cafe. Everywhere I went smelled like fresh baked bread. I wanted to smack someone.

I'd have snapped!!! Lol

Just remember, it's normal to get the last minute jitters. This is a major surgery and is life changing. Just gently remind your wife and yourself WHY you are doing this surgery and the wonderful outcome.

Good luck, we'll be here cheering you on.

So I'm at the hospital getting pre op lab work or whatever done. Appt was at 1.45, and I've had to be fasting for 14 hours. I'm about to stab someone if they don't hurry and get this crap done so I can go home and "eat"! Hahaha. Crabby patty is coming out.

:)

I just laughed out loud on the train at this!

Hello everyone I will be sleeved on 02/24 in New Lenox, IL. I go for my pre-op class tomorrow. I am excited and scared all at the same time. I just wish that it would stop snowing by then. I can not wait to get to the loser's bench.

Hey Daunique 1! I'm getting sleeved 2/17 at Silver Cross in New Lenox! Who's your surgeon?

The preop class is very informative. I just went last week. I'm on the preop liquid diet right now.

Hi all- tomorrow is the big day! It was almost cancelled because my doctor had a personal issue that's taken him out of town. So another doctor, Clark Warden, will sleeve me tomorrow morning. I had a bit of a freak out this morning. Parents came in from out of town, children's schedules made, groceries bought. Just couldn't deal with having to postpone. I am anxious but ready. Blessings to all having your surgery tomorrow. Thanks for the support. P.s. Could eat the paint off the walls I'm so hungry with the clear liquid only today.

I know. Isn't it hard enough? Isn't it already a sacrifice. My labs weren't fasting labs so I was ok, but dayum

When I walked into my surgeons office my theme song was playing. SexyBack. Okay, it's not my theme song...yet! But it really was playing in the waiting room and made me laugh. Got the final green light to go Thursday. We just had to get the pregnancy test back. Let me tell you how not thrilled I was to think this I might be prego and have to postpone. Told the doc I was getting anxious. He added Xanax to my script and sent me on my way. Party!

      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.
