Having Gastric Sleeve surgery today, awaiting to be taken back to operating room. From this day on will be a new journey. Weighed in at 400lbs today at Hospital, started my clear liquid diet two weeks ago and lost 13lbs. I wish, everyone success and best wishes. I've been a paramedic for 26years have always put others first before myself. However, now it's time to save me.

Looking for anyone else being sleeved in January 2017. I will be sleeved on January 6th. Anyone else?

I just had mine done on the 24. Im heavier now than I was when I went in. Its must be because of all the fluids they give you. I hope the weight starts coming off soon

How are you feeling?

Pretty good. I have been able to get 25-30 Protein in the last 2 days each and around 45 oz of fluids, but I'm struggling with the fact that I miss chewing.

Just got home, from hospital. Had surgery on Wednesday. Kept me an extra day due to pain. My surgeon took pictures of the surgery at my request. Which was great to see. As they were doing the procedure found two tumors on my stomach. Those sent away to pathology, won't find out results until next appointment. Curious, if anyone has had problems with passing gas ? After the gastric sleeve. I haven't been able to yet.

My surgery is Monday morning!! What kind of clothes do you all recommend wearing? Are bras comfortable? Gowns or pajama pants?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi, all I packed was nighties.. bras for me was a def no no as there is an incision right near your bra line in the middle. And it's a lot easier to lift up ur nighties to go to the toilet then try to bend down to pull pants down.

For everyone that may have missed the invite in the earlier pages, there is a January 2017 Sleevers Facebook Page. It's a secret group (because some people do not want their friends and family knowing) so if you would like to join you can message me with your email address and I can add you.

Could you please add me.

      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. 🤞
