Any Iowa sleevers?

Thanks...I'm hoping in February. Nobody down in Missouri knows I'm having the surgery now. For that matter none of them know about me getting married in 3 days either. Long story...but I need to keep it that way. So it will have to wait till February till I can go down there. I will try and post a picture of the baby as soon as I get one.

Thank you all.

Hey I just wanted to throw this out there....at my support group meeting last night, I heard of a counselor for eating disorders....even though I don't believe I had one except over eating....I'm going to give her a call. I think it would benefit me extremely well. Just sayin...everyone has their reasons for our food addiction....I just need to get to the root of mine.

And FYI...day 6 of liquids...super breeze!!! No kidding. I am doing great with the liquids. I'm getting closer and closer. Tomorrow is my preop testing and meet with surgeon. I got this!!!!

Day 7 preop liquid diet....now that I figured out that I absolutely need to have my Vitamin B 12....I'm doing soooo much better. It really makes a huge difference. Today is my pre op visit at hospital and with surgeon. Tomorrow is pre op physical and getting married. So much going on this week.

I hope everyone is having an awesome week!!!!

      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.
