December 2015 or January 2016 sleevers ?



Recommended Posts

I just received my surgery date - my VSG will be December 8th, 2015. I was approved by insurance last week. I hope these 8 weeks go by quickly! Nice to meet you all :)

I'm December 8th, 2015 also! I'm from WI having surgery at Froedtert in Milwaukee. Good luck with everything!!! ????
I was scheduled for December 14 but moved it up to the 8th. I'm scared, excited, nervous, etc.

Just did my last weight management class today. They said everything should be submitted hopefully tomorrow and then it's the waiting game.

My last visit before submitting is

Nov 13. I can not wait to wait on the final countdown :). Good luck

It has been a lot of emotions for me too. I am nervous, impatient, excited, scared. I feel ready, but have so much to do! Glad to share the date with you too.

OOPS I guess my attempt at multi quote didn't work as I was replying to cj76 & cookie_queen and anyone else interested in being friends either on this site or the other one mentioned.

I am also on myfitnesspal as ssbeadlady. Look me up and send an invite if your interested in being friends there.

I had my 5th visit this past Monday. I didn't lose as much as I should have as my body is doing the usual. Lose good for 2 to 3 months and than stop. So far lost 29 pounds of the 6 months supervised diet. Have one more month to go. All my paper work has to be into the surgeon by Nov 21 and I have 2 Dr that haven't sent in their eval yet despite me telling them of the deadline. My Dr is going out of the country for the holiday so it looks like some time in Jan. A week before the surgery I have a 4 hour workshop I have to attend and it is on a Tuesday which is one of the 2 days I work. Can't change the workshop so I will miss another day of work in addition to all the time off for the double surgery. Oh well I need them both and will not let anything stop me. Good luck to everyone who has upcoming surgery. A brand new life is coming to us all.

I am hoping for a December sleeve. Got all my appointments done except one more (hopefully) psyc meet.

I just hope I can get it done before end of the year for insurance sake!

hi ! I will send you a PM with my email address and you can add me on my fitness pal. Great tool. 13 days till my last NUT visit and I will get my surgeon appointment that day. So hoping they can work me in the following week to send my paperwork off to insurance approval. I am ready I can't wait. I have read Aetna is taking about a week to approve so I'm hoping for first week in December. How nice would it be to be 20 lbs lighter by New Years.

      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.
