Any February Sleevers



Recommended Posts

I know I'm the odd one out but I am terrified that I will be denied because I haven't lost ANY weight on the supervised diet! Anyone else?

I have not lost weight on my 6 month program. I gained 7lbs in the last month of it, since they decided to put me on birth control pills and the patch so I could quit smoking prior to surgery. My insurance doesn't say I HAVE to lose weight, so we'll see very shortly what they say.

Thanks for your reply! I went in at 250, went to 249, back to 250, 246, 250..... I'm really nervous on what my nutritionist is going to say about it. I have labs and pre-testing in two days and then I'll meet with her. She said last appointment that I'm "right on track" so...here's hoping! Thankfully my insurance doesn't state that I HAVE to lose weight either.

Looks like February date for me as well, although it has not been scheduled yet. I'm excited but also really nervous about the surgery. I've also gained weight since my initial appt. :(

I live in fear of my weighins. But this last time I lost about six pounds. I started at 274 and lost a bit each time, but the november weigh in, I gained two pounds.

Do you log your foods and do you use My Fitness Pal? I am going to keep logging even after the surgery. I have heard too many people say that they don't lose enough afterward and then it's because they got back to eating too much.

This last weigh in (they are all in the evening) I didn't eat much all day, didn't drink much and didn't wear heavy clothes. I know that's defeating the purpose, but I knew that two weighins over my last weight would cause me to be in real danger.

Just an update:

I had my LONG fourth month appointment this morning. I had to meet with my PA, the Bariatric doc, the Dietitian, and have lots of blood drawn. I got the Green Light from Nutrition! According to my checklist, I need to schedule and get the green light from Psych, submit a stool sample, pay the Bariatric program fee, schedule any last labs/ultrasounds, attend a surgery class and then I'll be ready to submit to insurance!!! :) I'm crossing my fingers for a Feb surgery date!!!

Stool sample? Ug. That sounds fun. I pray that they won't ask that of me. Just another thing to worry about :)

I am heading to a fun bariatric ugly christmas sweater sleepover party this weekend. I am in the process of making my own ugly sweater. It's distracting from from the fact that I still have NINE and a half weeks to go.

Oh well.

Now what do you take as a food, to a bariatric party where half the people are pre-op and half are post op?

I believe she said the stool sample is for h-pylori? (sp?) It tests for bacteria.

      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. 🤞
