April Sleevers -- 6 Month Progress



Recommended Posts

I just had my six-month post-op follow-up appointment. I thought I was doing well, but it was great to get a professional opinion. Fortunately, I was right.

I can't believe how quickly the last six months have flown by. I am more mobile, and I am looking like a melting snowman!

I still have a long way to go, but since I was to a point where even losing 10 pounds was impossible pre-op, it is a miracle that I am losing so well now.

How are the other April Sleevers doing?

I just had my six-month appt and I'm down 100 lbs! I've gone from 325 to 225. My surgeon is very pleased, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Goal is 175ish (I'm 5'8").

Good luck, fellow April sleevers!

Great to hear!

It is so weird to actually look forward to doctor's appointments but I definitely looked forward to my six-month follow up.

Haha, I agree @innersurfergirl! I used to dread getting on the scale at the dr and now I look forward to it!

      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.
