Calling January Sleever????



Recommended Posts

I cooked last night for my family and ate with them, (my yummy Protein shake) I can't hide from them eating for the rest of my life. Last night was the big test and I passed with flying colors. I knew before that I was ready for surgery but now I know that I am mentally ready as well ????

Sleeved 1.5.15. Doing well for the most part. Minimal gas, a little fatigue. Able to tolerate everything in this stage so far. Haven't had a BM yet. Incision/staples very itchy. Water doesn't sit well on my stomach. Find out today that a compression/girdle makes it feel better.

Day before surgery and the anxiety is really kicking in....not to mention I feel like I'm starving. Clear liquid and full liquid make a difference. Hospital told me to call at 8am for a time to come in... I can't help but wonder why I do not have a scheduled time already. And I live an hour away. Strange!

I feel the same way. I have to wait for a call from the hospital the day before surgery, sometime between 2 & 4 pm. I live about that same time distance too. Guess that's how they do things. And I'm just hoping I'm early!

Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 1pm!!!! I'm excited and nervous for this opportunity as it has been a long 7 month journey! As a result of the wait and all of you sharing your experiences I feel prepared! Thank you and God Bless :)

O.k. I got up to go to the bathroom so many times I loss count. I know my nerves were on the edge but the Clear Liquids was a bit much. I am up and ready for my 2 nd special shower. The hospital has special instructions for the night before and the morning of the surgery. Did anyone go on line to Bariatric Vitamins. They offered a FREE 3 months supply of vitamins and Calcium supplements. Print out the form and your doctor's office will complete it and fax it to the company. I just wanted to share this. I pray for the stay hand of the surgical team, the attentiveness of the anesthesiologist and the professionalism of the staff attending to me and all my January sleevers.

      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. 🤞

      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.
