I'm still pre-op but hoping to schedule my sleeve for mid-September. Just had my endoscopy yesterday and getting ready to submit everything to insurance. Cross your fingers!

Good luck sunshine. Hope it worked out well with the insurance. I have 26 days until surgery and am starting to get very excited.

Hi

I am due to have my op on 3rd September. I am in the UK, though, so don't always recognise the brand names people suggest for Protein stuff.

Pre op diet starts when I am on holiday. 3 pints skimmed milk a day for 2 weeks. Gulp!!!!

Scheduled for Surgery September 1, 2015 with Dr. Maytorena in Tijuana. It is almost here and I am getting anxious and of course a little nervous. Never had any type of surgical procedure before but I am optimistic and positive about going thru with it.

I would like a buddy for sure. I had a friend who was also getting sleeved but she is running scared now and not sure if she want to go thru with it. I am getting it done. Just plain tired of my weight going up and down like a yoyo. I would also be happy to find a live chat room of gastric sleevers to talk with.

Mine went, in my surgeon's words, "Perfectly". They sent me home with some fantastic pain meds. It seems a shame to let it go to waste. My surgeon has me on a full liquid diet until my appointment on 9/11. I'm getting sick of Protein Shakes. That, the gurgling stomach, and the minor diarrhea are the only negatives so far. On the positive side, I'm down almost 30# since my all time high.

I had my surgery on September 1, 2015 in Modesto, CA. I was going in for a DS but because of the adhesions they only did the vertical sleeve part. They say they will do the other part once I'm down 80 lbs and still losing but since it will probably be a 6 hour open procedure I'm not sure yet if I'll go for it or not.

      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.
