Any September 15 Sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm so excited! I finally got my surgery date and it's set for September 15th. I start the pre-op liquid diet on the 2nd. Parts of me are scared and other parts of me are excited. Anyone else out there getting sleeved on that day or around it? BTW, I'm in Illinois and using Silver Cross Hospital. Thanks. And GOOD LUCK to everyone!

I will be having my surgery at Highland Hospital by Dr. Lael Forbes. I have to still go for me pre-surgery screening.. (not sure what happens at that) .. but I call to make the appointment tomorrow! Good luck to you!

I am still very nauseous. Haven't gotten enough fluids in yet. I try to push it but then my poor tummy hurts. Hopefully it will work itself out.

I was sleeved on Monday Sept. 15 and came home yesterday Wednesday Sept 17.. I am doing really well and I'm walking to get rid of gas pains.. the gas pains are horrible and wake me up at night.. its like someone set a 50lb weight right in the middle of my breastbone.. I have not gotten all of my fluids in yet but my guess is that will come in time.. I only take pain med when I need them an am taking all of the required Vitamins etc. I'm still a bit sore but it's nothing I can't handle. I know everyone's experiences are different.. and everyone's pain tolerance levels are different too.. just wondering about the gas pains.. how are you all handling them?

I was released on Tuesday the 16th. I only had a few bouts of gas pain after I came home. Usually when I laid down in bed or when I sat up getting out of bed. I haven't had any gas pain today at all.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
