Hi Sleevers!

Tomorrow is my first appointment with my surgeon to discuss the surgery procedure and hopefully send the request for approval to my insurance. Its around 1am and I just cant sleep. Im nervous about what they will say or deny me. Im so happy for all you Sleevers. U guys are all so sweet and supportive. I really pray for all of you guys to succeed in reaching ur goals. Please Wish me luck for my first step tomorrow! =)

Good luck:)

I'm 10 days post op just tried Greek yogurt for the first time it made me stomach grumble. But today I got on the scale and I'm .4 lbs heavier.... What's going on with me?!! I've lost 28.5 lbs so far. I'm in such a down mood today I was so hoping to be closer to 30lbs today.

I was wondering how you were doing. 28.5 pounds is awesome! !

I'm May 20th! Having my Gallbladder out at the same time.

Pre-Op diet starts May 10th so getting my house in order...literally! Spring Cleaning my life; starting with the house! Closet is cleaned out...got rid of ALOT of clothes and can't wait to get rid of the rest as I shrink out of them!

Purchased my incentive outfit....cute pair of jeans with bling on the butt (this time people will be looking at my butt because I've got cute jeans on rather than granny jeans lol!) and a cute Vikings t-shirt with some bling as well. I'm going to wear those things at the start of Football season if it kills me lol!

Psyching myself up for the pre-op liquid diet...10 days. I GOT THIS!

Good luck everyone!!

I will be one year post-op on Thursday the 8th. I want to tell you this it THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE. Except having my daughter of course. I have said it before and I will say it again, I would do this surgery once a year if that's what it took to keep my sleeve. I don't regret it for a single second!!! Here's to all the May sleevers, you are doing amazing things for yourself, and your health!! Congrats. :)

My sleeve was not any worse than the lapband. The worst part is you will have some lingering soreness from the port removal. When I went home on day 3 I felt really good. I actually stopped at the grocery store and bought some supplies.

      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.
