Hey fellow Sleevers!!

I just got my date...Drum roll please...July 24th!!! This was so unexpected when I went in for my post endoscopy today. I was expecting a phone call in a week or so, to go there and get the approval immediately was such a shock. I was so thrilled, I didn't know how to respond for a minute. I have a little bounce in my step now and I am so happy!!!!!! :D

Anyone else out there getting their sleeve on July 24th?

Yes! I am July 24th also. I just started my liquid pre-op diet today. I'm starving and can't wait for July 24th to be here already!

I'm July 24th too, glad to find more people with this date. My doctor doesn't require a pre-op diet but I'm going to start shakes for Breakfast and lunch tomorrow and then do all liquid 2 days prior to surgery. I've been having so many food funerals I need to do it to get ready for the big change in eating!

So far I have no official pre-op, but my pre-op appt is on Monday and I will find out then if I have to suffer with you guys. ;)

I too have been food funeralling it up over and over. Need to have the final funeral so I can be done with it!!

Hello, my surgery is also scheduled on July 24. I just started the pre-op liquid diet yesterday, and it has been difficult, but not impossible. I can't wait until I can actually be around other people eating food! Can't wait to have the surgery!

I am having surgery on the 24 as well. So many emotions. Pre-op diet is not as impossible as I thought it would be but I am not following it perfectly, but not binging either. Good luck everybody!

I feel off the non-required pre-op wagon this weekend. Back on it today. Can't believe it's only 9 days away!

I know what you mean, my days at work have been dragging! My 13 year old son tells me all the time that I'm impatient so this is really torturing me, lol.

      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. 🤞
