Any November Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Good Morning!

My name is Tammy- I live in the greater Orlando area in Florida. My Gastric sleeve was done on 11/7- so I am 4 days post op.

Starting weight was 220- when I got home I weighed 225- now I know IV fluids contributed to that.

I was scheduled to stay in the hospital 1 night and had to stay 2 d/t uncontrolled nausea. I seemed to shake that Saturday morning and came home.

Today- day 4- I am heading to Sam's Club with my Mom- and to Macy's. Just going to try to get in some steps- and get moving.

I am happy to be here- and expect that I will need some support as this journey continues

My surgery is tomorrow morning too. Getting psyched, and all of you have really helped to keep my spirits up, my confusion tamped down, and my eyes on the prize.

I was on a liquid diet for 10 days, and today it is just Clear Liquids. It hasn't been too bad... lost around 10 pounds, which makes this a lot more worthwhile. The second day of the liquid fast was by far the hardest, but by the third my body just gave up, I think, and adjusted.

Looking forward to the new, streamlined me!

My surgery is November 17! My surgeon is Dr. Orlando Icaza. I am on day 8 of 14 of my pre-op diet :) I don't really feel hungry, just empty and my sugar crashes.

Surgury date 18th. And post-200317-14157315949524_thumb.jpg away from the moment I check in to the hospital. The last 6 days of my pre op diet have been down and up. The first for days sucked really bad! But since then my biggest system is just being sleepy. Although I have also had a lot more energy at the same time.. It's interesting to say the least.

Regardless I am really ready and so excited to be getting closer! :)

      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. 🤞
