April 2014 sleevers



Recommended Posts

I was out for the rest of the day after mine.. I wasn't driving though..I was fine but I may not be the norm..

I took the night off so that i wouldnt feel drained from the meds then have to work a 12 hour night shift. But they scheduled my scope at 7:30 and my physical at 1. So I hope I am not gorked the whole day. My Dr is about an hour and fourty five min from home. So my husband is going w me. Hope he finds a good book by then to take.

The endoscopy Is a cakewalk. They sedate you and you pass out and wake up and it's over.

Well I've paid for flights, deposit and insurance and have to do a 2 week low fat diet with no alcohol ready for operation on 8th April, my only worry is that my passport won't be here in time. Its kinda cool though as I can't worry bout op as more worried bout passport.

Wooohooo time is going by so fast April Sleevers!! We're already in the second week of March. I'm in my last week of antibiotics, can't wait till that's over; however, it is preparing me for taking Vitamins daily. I know some people are still waiting for approval, or to start your two week preop (classes, doc appts, etc), or just waiting.. but, "Oh The Places We Will Go" Dr. Seuss, once we wake up from surgery! Yeah I'm HAPPY, clap along if you feel like happyness is the truth!! Okay sorry for being cheesy lol :)

Welcome to all the new comers!

I'm April 7th with Dr. Ortiz at OCC in Tijuana. I am nervous and excited, too. I hope it's the end of all the crazy ups and downs. I did HCG as well. I figure if I can do 500 calories of only 10 different foods for 40 days, I can do the pre and post op diets!

I am having my sleeve Friday, April 11th in Tijuana with Dr. Cabrera.
I have done A LOT of research and I feel very good about my decision.
I am SO nervous and very excited.

I have been too big and sick for too long & so very tired of losing 20 pounds for 2 months and gaining 27 back... we've all been there......no more HGC, Medifast, Atkins, etc.
I am so thankful we now have this as an option.
I wish us all the very best luck and health!

April 2nd!! Houston area! EGD Friday and next week pre-op and start a 14 liquid diet. I pray that all goes well for you all and myself. I'm very nervous, anxious but also feel that's its time for a change. My biggest weight was 308 and I managed to reach 205 on my own, took about 2 and half years. Just recently had a baby and am back up at235 and have tried dieting and excercise for the past year and it's been very hard with only a 20 pd loss.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
