Recommended Posts

Just wondering if there were any Richmond Va sleevers out there nearing the losers bench I'm in the pre sleeve stage but looking at the end of June beginning of July as surgery date TBD . I'd love to connect with locals at least in the 804, 757, or 540 area codes! Please add me if your in Virginia!

Hi skinniminiwannabe! I love your user name. I'm in Fredericksburg. My surgeon will be Brennan Parmody MD, Bon Secours. I'm in month 2 of my PCP supervised diet (BCBS Fed) I can't wait for surgery!

Good morning! I'm in Chesapeake, with surgery in Newport News. I went to a seminar on Saturday, did a 1on 1 Tuesday and will probably have a July or August date. It's going much faster than I thought, with only a few prerequisites. We have a vacation planned in early July, so I'll wait til after for surgery.

Drinking Water is one of my 3 adjustments thus far. I've also cut out all carbonation (boo hoo!) and weaning off caffeine. So far these are my obstacles. I set alarm on my phone to remind me about water. It's not that I don't like water, I simply forget! I have menopause brain.

      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. 🤞
