Newbie looking for Oct sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Okay you awesome Oct. Sleevers.

I kind of skimmed this thread. Been so busy ! Today was an eye doctor appointment, my last appointment with the surgeon before the 14th, went to the facility to do my pre op stuff, and out with friends. Left the house at 2pm and got home at 9.. I have an appointment to go over my bariatric notebook with a bariatric coordinator tomorrow. So in the afternoon I'll catch up with everyone !!

WTG on the great weight loss Geenie ... whoever said they were feeling sad about how everything is going to change.. It's common to feel that way ! And most people say you can go back to pretty much normal life, except in smaller quantities so you're not missing out.

We are doing this for US .. this is our lives ! We are in control ! This is OUR time to live our lives happy and successful lives! We got this !

will catch up tomorrow

Good luck to those tomorrow.. I know LOTS had surgery today... let us know how you're doing. Congrats to the great news on our pioneers who are now going in for first checkups. <3 this board !

XOXOXOXOXOXO to all !!!

Kathy812, I am not sure. My best guess is I am grieving the lifestyle I am about to give up. It sounds sick since the lifestyle I am giving up is unhealthy, painful and exhausting, but, there it is. I tend to process hard emotions before I take the plunge into anything new that is difficult. I am hoping my current sadness will make the post-op "What the heck was I thinking?" bit either non-existent or less severe.

I totally know how you feel. Like in a recent post I wrote all of my milestone I've met in my life included my stomach. We eat to Celebrate life! I'm learning though I've been eating and supporting and unhealthy lifestyle. I am excited for all of us taking on a new approach to a brand new way of life!

      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.

      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.
