Hi everyone, just incase people didn't see the earlier comment, there are two fb groups with similar names, one has stopped accepting new members but the other, 2016 November Sleevers, is welcoming everyone (it's still a closed group but just send a request) It's full of lovely folk so far

I've had to cancel my surgery date. My insurance is now saying they with only cover $10,000 max and the surgery total will be around $30,000. Originally the insurance said it was a $10,000 max for the surgeon only, but everything else would be covered. I can't seem to get a straight answer from the Insurance Company after speaking to at least 10 different people. Now what? Any suggestions?

How you doing ?

Hi, so I did it! I'll be honest, the first few days have been rough, the nausea has been terrible. I was released from hospital yesterday evening and have managed to get down small amounts of sugar free jelly and banana slim fast. Water is a big no-no at the moment, it makes me feel so sick. But I am starting to feel a bit better and managed a shower today so I'm improving. I just can't get much liquids in without retching hard so I'm taking it easy and I'm going to just add a little sip extra every time x

Toukie-- thought you weren't supposed to be hungry? That is the ONE thing I am looking forward to is not feeling hungry.

If you drink your shakes do you still feel hungry?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
