I'm officially in the October Sleevers Club and I'm bouncing off the wall!! My surgery is officially October 13th! It could've been the 2nd but I actually am hosting a birthday party. Don't think I didn't think about it either but I quickly became realistic. I'm so freakin excited! I can't wait to feel like I have the energy to chase after my life, my dreams and live my life to the fullest without the burden of this extra weight. Everything seems to be lining up in order for me to be successful at this...THIS TIME! I'm ready!

Me too!. My surgery is scheduled for October 28.

For Halloween I'm going to show my incisions and tell people I was shot 5 times. :P

Now I have to figure out what to name my sleeve...

Sleevin' King?

All About Sleeve?

Sleeve Jobs?

All Hallows Sleeve?

Sleeve of Destruction?

Congratulations! I'm scheduled for Oct. 8th. I'm so happy! I think I'm in the nesting phase. I've been cleaning, preparing and doing whatever I can to keep busy. ????

Thanks! A friend suggested that since I'm having a large part of my stomach "bobbed", I should name it Major Bob.

This naming thing helps distract me from the fact that I'm going to be a swirling mix of excited and anxious throughout October.

      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.
