Brisbane September 2016 Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

Hope you are all travelling well on this crazy/amazing journey.

My surgery date is coming up fast, next week 16 September. Feeling a little lonely going through this process - I have my family/friends support but would be great to have conversations/support from people in simillar situations.

I'm on my 3rd week of my 4 week pre-op diet. I'm down 4kg but seem to have plateaued a bit in the last couple days.

Anyhoo, staying optimistic as this going to change my life for the better!

Is anyone else getting sleeved this month?

I had my freak out today, I was determined to call the surgeon on Monday pushing the operation back because life is crazy with 3 kids. But I'll wait till Monday afternoon to see how I still feel and go from there.

Hope today was better for you xx

@@Ebony Rose How are you feeling now? I hope you are still on track?

I'm feeling a whole range of emotions with only 3 days to go but I seem to be equal parts anxiousness and excitement.

I know I can do this though.


@@novemberkilo how are you travelling?

I have had the same thoughts.....it has been a tough two weeks on this pre op diet....but then i worry about not doing it and the increased risk during surgery....nothing may happen but I would rather not give any reason for something to happen and thats what motivates me to get through it.

I went through the same feelings in week 2 of pre-op diet and I still had 2 weeks to go! It didn't last though and I kept myself and my mind, busy. It did pass and it will pass for you too. Be strong.

      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.
