Recommended Posts

I'm so jealous that you are approved already! Want to call my office to be sure they sent it in but I don't want to be too much of a pain in the ass :) Endoscopy next Monday and sleep studystill to go. Then I should be all set!

Marissa I'm the 7th so our dates will be really close!

We are all gonna rock this together :) Glad you got a date scheduled Canada. I have to go in and do one more blood test on the 17th and start my pre-op diet the 24th and have a meeting with the surgeon on March 2nd. I feel like it is all going to go very quickly after the 17th. Good luck on the endoscopy and the sleep test. I am really glad to know someone will be going through this at the same time and if yall want someone to talk to just send me a message.

I don't really have one either. Just supposed to eat better now - Protein Shakes 1x a day if I want. All liquid the day before. That's it though.

I finished my stuff to be submitted for approval on Friday. Scheduler called me today and said it takes about two weeks to get results from the psych eval then submit but that i should be looking at the end of March for surgery but she can't schedule until approval.

My surgery is scheduled for March 8. I'm going through the read everything I possibly can phase, and my husband thinks I'm "obsessing." I'm starting to get nervous and as silly as it sounds, it still doesn't seem real. When I have my normal "if I ever lose weight..." thoughts and realize it's not if, but when. It's hard to wrap my mind around it.

I'd really like to know what people are doing now to prepare. I haven't started any major changes and feel guilty for not doing so yet.

March 2, can not wait. I have started to mix in protien shakes in place of 2 meals. The nutritionist hasn't said to do it yet but I want to ease myself into it so I'm not miserable when I'm on all liquid.

Do any of you want to start a Facebook page for March Sleevers? I would be glad to try. If so send me your email addresses in private message and we can try it.

What I'm doing to prepare is obsessing over it. Lol.

But seriously, I'm trying to do some shopping for pre and post op needs now as I'm soon off to Hawaii for 2 weeks and then start my pre op dirt as soon as I get home. I'm nervous but excited!

I'm scheduled for March 21. I was rescheduled from Feb 1 because I fell and fractured my heel bone and ruptured my achilles tendon. I'm now having surgery for my foot on Monday.

      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. 🤞
