May Sleevers...where are you?



Recommended Posts

Woo-hoo!!! I'm on the 13th with Less of Jess and Katress27!!! :-)

I'm self pay, so the process has been fairly easy for me. (Except for writing out the checks, LOL) I still need to do a barium swallow, EKG, and some labs, but that's it.

I'm in the same BMI group as Rocky1, and our pre-op diets sound very similar, as well. I have four days of Protein shakes, and one day of Clear liquids.

Looks like my date will be switched from April to May! My doctor hasn't faxed my information to my surgeon to put in for insurance!!

Is there any secret Facebook groups for us May sleevers?

May the 4th be with you! :)

Haha Jess love it!

@@CandyCrushVSG I don't know of a may sleevers group as of yet. We could make one, I guess! I'm on VSG Support Group on Facebook, everyone on there has been awesome so far.

How are everyone's countdowns going? I picked up the last of my Protein shake and Vitamin supplies yesterday. Pre-admission appt in 3 weeks, liquid diet starting in 4 weeks, surgery in 41 days and counting!! :lol: :rolleyes: :blink: :P

So excited to see so many new May sleeves since we're down to our last month. I was MIA for two wks but I'm back and stayed on track with my eating. Definitely need to push myself to exercise more before surgery.

      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.
