Recommended Posts

August 2014 Sleevers check in!

Start weight: 269

Surgery day weight: 249

Current weight: 175

Goal weight: 149

I have not reached goal and I am still happy to be sleeved! I have encountered a lot of other health issues which I was able to manage better because of my weight loss! I have undergone 4 other major operations since being sleeved the last was 6 weeks ago! I am back on track with a heathy weight loss goal and ready to move it! I am looking forward to 2016! I already look fabulous in my little black dress!

You need to read the post more carefully. The OP is talking about August 2014, not 2015!

Hard to believe it's been over a year! Sounds like you've sure had some added challenges along the way. Glad to see you're doing well. You'll get there!!

My highest weight was 265. When I started the program in 2014 I was 224. I dropped just below 200 the day of surgery. I made goal of138 the end of July 2015. I maintain between 131-134. (I creep up I buckle down again, lol).

I'm having plastics early December. (Insurance will cover the panni, yay!).

      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.
