I am expecting to get my sleeve done in Oct or Nov. I haven't even started my 90 day nutrition yet (there's a group session at the end of this month that will start my 90 day clock), so I'm thinking late Sept. at the very earliest.

I'm in the process now of gathering the documentation to send to insurance. I have an appointment with my primary care doc today to get a recommendation from him.

Anyone else with me for fall? It seems like most posters here are Spring/Summer sleevers.

Hello:

Yes, my surgeon said I should be around Halloween time frame. I am 2 months into 6 month diet and nutrition with doctor oversight. So our time frame is about the same.

This is month 1 for me, so if all goes to plan I might get a surgery date for late Nov. I have to go through the 6 months program per my insurance.

I am scheduled for November 3rd. I am so ready to get this started!! I am a self pay because my insurance does not cover WLS surgery and therefore I chose to do my surgery in Mexico.

Hello everyone! I had my first consult yesterday and also have a 6 month program with insurance to fulfill before coverage. Last weight check is oct 21st so probably beginning of Nov will be my surgery date. Best wishes to all!

Hi everyone: I am likely going to be a fall sleever. I have begun the process (attended my seminar and 1st NUT class on Tuesday) and have 2 more NUT classes, psych eval and EGD to complete. I also will have a one on one with my surgeon before my surgery date is scheduled. I am very excited to see this through. Best of luck to everyone on your journey!

If everything goes as planned I'm looking at an early Fall / late Summer date. Just need to get a three month supervised diet out of the way. My guess is it'll land around September. Good luck to everyone!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
