Hey there September sleevers! Any one out there?



Recommended Posts

Thank goodness my date is Sept 3. Just found out I have high blood pressure & had to start on high cholesterol meds. If ever there was a need for this surgery it's now.

I just found out I was approved by my insurance on Tuesday. So, started the liquid diet Thursday since Wednesday was my 60th birthday. This is day 2 of liquids only and I have a killer headache. I'm sure it's just detoxing but it hurts! Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. My surgery date is 9-2-15.

Welcome ExcitedNana - just so happens I am a Nana who recently turned 60. My surgery date is Sept 8 and I am very excited! Not looking forward to the pre-op diet, but I will get through it! Wishing you the best!

Turned in my letter of recommendation from my primary care physician today. Dr's office sais it was fine. I only have one more nutrition visit left on September 9th then I'll get a date. Already had my exercise classes, 12 day liquid diet to go also. They say still possible for a late September date still. I hope so. Getting more real to me. Can't hardly stand these last two weeks of waiting. Lol. Very ready to begin my journey and start my new life and start working out and being healthy!

Hello all,

I just found this thread last night. I'm happy to report that I'm scheduled for 9/14. I just have two visits to the doctors left. A pre op nutrition class and to see the surgeon. It's all a bit surreal. I was on the fence about a date for so long because I did not have the 6 months nutrition but I did have 6 months of weight watchers plus very good doctors notes. I really thought I would be denied but thankfully the coordinator said we have nothing to loose but try so she sent it in August 6th and the day before my birthday I got the news it was accepted. "Happy Birthday to Me"!!!

      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.
