May 28 Sleevers - Ready, Set, Go



Recommended Posts

Many of us being sleeved on 5/28 will be on our liquids tomorrow. Some of you may have already started. It's almost time to get a fresh start.

How are you all doing? I am feeling anxious as I'd just like to get the surgery over with so I can deal with the aftermath. I'm not nervous about the procedure itself, but the anticipation is driving me bonkers.

Clear Liquids today. Surgery tomorrow. I didn't think this day would ever get here. Not really sure how I feel. I know I am just ready to get this over with and start my next chapter. Ugh! Why does insurance make us wait so long?

I'm up tomorrow too! Crazy mix of nervous excitement! Can't wait to be on the sleeved side and start dealing with the reality rather than worrying about the unknown! Good luck everyone...we've got this!

I have to report to the hospital at 0830 and surgery is at 1030. I'm in the SF area.

What time will you all be headed in for your sleeve?

Oh thank goodness I was not required to do a bowel prep.

I'm 2 weeks out today and get to start puree, so exciting! Had a weetabix for Breakfast, yumm!

I'm 13lb down since surgery, 25lb from starting pre op. Feeling great and so far so good! Still a little tender in my tummy but getting better every day.

Hope everyone else is doing great too!

      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.
