My future and my sleeve....



Recommended Posts

As some of you know I had complications after getting my sleeve in January, the last couple of months I have improved but I am so scared what the future may hold for me and my sleeve. I want to be one of the people who never have another issue and happily goes through life but I start reading about complications other people get further out (Poor RJ, she should be given medal xxx) and worry what might be. I know this sounds crazy cause no-one can predict the future but it really concerns me. Any thoughts???

Don't borrow trouble. Take life as it comes.

Stay positive and take one day at a time. No one knows what the future holds for any of us. Don't worry about what could happen. Concentrate on the now and how well you are doing and how far you have become ok.

complications - improved but - scared what the future may hold for me and my sleeve

Unhappysleever

i think changing your name would be a positive/step in the next direction!!!!

try not to think of the negative/past "unhappysleever" :o

ie "newandimprovedsleever" ;)

just a thought -_-

sorry you had complications :(

I/we can only imagine that things must have been so difficult to deal with :(

if you - referring to me and others here - have never gone through issues/problems its hard to put ourselves in your shoes

but...........try not to think about "possible" problems

you/me/we/all of us (people in regular life too) must/can only live one day at a time

you'll always sadly remember your past :(

it is true that problems can arrise at a later time :angry:

but you have to move on (easier said than done)

what happens in the future????

I can't predict it - but i can continue to do my best to "mold" it

to maintain/and improve my healthy/happy lifestyle

hope things continue to improve

and your life gets better and better each day

keep up the wonderful job i'm sure you are doing :)

while we continue to see "less and less" of you

good luck :)

      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
