mom is having the sleeve tomorrow as well



Recommended Posts

So I had my sleeve done may 30 and she saw how successful I've been so far, she's also overweight and my dad kept on telling her it would be a great idea for her to do it as well and she agreed. She just wanted to see on me how did it go the first month. so now its her turn. SHES HAVING IT TOMORROW..

She asked me if I can please ask all of you what are some recommendations you give her? Since many of you are around her age, (I'm only 20 years so the process is way different)

Also a list of things she must have in the hospital. She's going to be in the hospital 2 nights and 3 days.

Thank you all for your support!!!

The only thing i need in hospital was toothbrush and paste, hair brush. I slept in hospital gown much easier with IV. Used another backwards for robe when I did my walking. I also had my Ipad and phone. I had bought all this stuff that I never used. Pj, Shampoo etc. i did bring slippers but they give you those socks which work just fine. Chad a book never read it. Basically I either slept, walked or watched TV. I would say keep what u bring to a bare minimium.

Hope this helped.

Good luck to your mom. I only used my toothbrush, hair brush and deodorant. Had my phone as well. Comfy clothes to go home in.

Chapstick was my favorite possession next to my iPad. I had my favorite little egg shaped Chapstick. That stuff is the best.

.... Never mind. I just realized this question was from yesterday.

      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. 🤞
