Any Oct 6 Sleevers out there?



Recommended Posts

When you get an answer please share. Does everyone still have to have follow up appointment still? I went for my 8 week post op on Friday and my doctor told me that was my last appointment unless I have any problems. I was expecting many more,maybe because with the lap band I was always going for adjustment.

I've got a follow-up with Kaiser this week, but the doctor doesn't need to see me until 6 months. I think he's written me off as a "don't worry about this one" case.

Wow, looks like So many different doctor follow up programs.

I go once a month for a year, and my doctor sits down and spends about 20 minutes every time talking to me about the foods I'm eating, and other concerns I have and gives me suggestions.

Thank You RG

It was such a great experience to walk across that stage! But the best part was I graduate with my husband and this day is only topped by our wedding day and the birth of our children. post-264131-14502001740343_thumb.jpg post-264131-14502001871092_thumb.jpg post-264131-14502002048271_thumb.jpg

      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.
