May Sleevers...where are you?



Recommended Posts

Good things come to those that wait and everything always happens for a reason. All sayings that we just repeat as comforts, however, I really do believe that everything is supposed to happen the way God wants it to happen and in his time schedule. God used you before your surgery to help us get though ours with this forum that you started which to me is an honor to be used this way. You are on your way. hang in there. jake

@@VSG_Hopeful No I'm not really excited I'm more nervous. I just had my pre-op appointment today and I feel better meeting other sleevers. :)

@@Phoenix2015, I know what you mean about being nervous. On Monday (5/4) after my final weigh in and they gave me my surgery date, I was so nervous I got nauseous and my hands were shaking so badly I couldn't even drive.

NoMoBand Jake, you are awesome! Thanks for those kinds words. I agree everything happens for a reason and I'm just trying to stay positive. Hey, I'm scheduled, so I'm on my way. I'm still a May Sleever at heart, so this is where I belong. I'm taking everyone's feedback for when it's my turn.

Good luck everyone!

My surgery is also May 14th. My Dr.put me on a two week high Protein diet. Not a liquid diet. I think I got lucky! Dr Wiess in Lexington Ky.

Dr. Weiss is great. He did my sleeve April 20 at Georgetown and couldn't be happier. I learned so much from him and love his perspective.

@@bvenegas, yeah insurance can really put a horrible kink in your plans. Considering how much money they would save from obesity related issues, you'd think they'd want is to have surgery as soon as possible. But at least you know it will go through.

Update: Surgery was 5-4-15, discharged 5-6-15, re-admit 5-7-15 for high fever (102.9) and an inflamed colon. It was a very horrible experience. I am all bruised from all of the IVs. My fever came down finally after several rounds of antibiotics and I was discharged today. Because of the setback, I haven't lost a significant amount of weight and I am swollen from all of the fluids.

I pray none of you have to experience this. I am grateful I paid attention to my body and got to the doctor in time. Hope all is well with everyone...

        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.

      3. buildabetteranna

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
