Any So Cal Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Wow! I just found this forum! Why has it been almost 2 years since someone posted anything?😯😔

I live in San Bernardino county. I was sleeved on August 16, 2017. Im now 4 mos out & have lost 33 lbs but i lost 4 dress sizes. I have 2 daughters both live in my same area & both have been sleeved. One Had her sugery 8 mos ago & doing ok. She's been experiencing some light headness but is okay! The other daughter had her surgery a week ago on Nov. 29, 2017. Shes doing well just dealing with the usual eating problems we all may have experienced till we got to the pureed phase. Are there any other So Cal new Sleevers?

I was sleeved July 19th. 5 months out now, 43 lbs down. Doing very well. Didn’t drop any sizes for 3 months, lost sooooo slowly too. Now I’m in size L instead of 2x! It’s so amazing. Best thing I ever did. Glad your sleevie family is doing so well.

Thank you GotPro!

I think your weight loss is pretty good! Losing it slow to me is the best way to go cause then you dont have to worry about your skin flabing so much! Being 62 I learned that i will have some flabby skin but im not ready to except that! Thats why I read up on taking more collegan to help replace whats lost thru aging! I've add more citrus fruits( now that im off all meds) and I might add collegan powder to my Protein shakes! I'll check with my Dr first of course!😄

Keep up the good work that your doing & I wish you well!

      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. 🤞
