I of course have many questions and would like for February Sleevers to join together for this adventure and life changing decisions we have made to better our health and lives. I think it would be awesome to find other February Sleevers to share our experiences good and bad.

I am scheduled feb 8, 2017

Well here we all are at the beginning of a New Year and a new life. I keep reading all the materials I can but so glad to have other February
Sleevers on board with their knowledge (which is power) and questions we all have. My last nutrition appointment is Jan 16th...I have completed all the other insurance requirements Right now I am looking to find some good liquid "Potions" (I hate the Protein powders that I must learn to love). Thanks to everyone of you - and let's do this together.

Got my surgery date!! February 4th! YAY!! Going from Band to Sleeve. I am so excited. I have also been shaping up my eating and drinking more Water and I am down 4 pounds in 4 days. Probably all the toxins built up in my body. I still can't eat most the healthy foods I should due to band issues, but I have been doing lots of Protein Shakes. Good luck to everyone and can't wait to see how you all progress!

My paperwork is being submitted now. Should be ready to be scheduled real soon. I am hoping for the first week of Feb. Everyone keeps asking if I am nervous but I am not. I am just so excited that it's almost here. Is that weird?

Well, after looking deep into the internet and finding really awful things about the surgeon I chose, I'm not going to MX in Feb. I've found some other MX surgeons, but my husband is not having it. So we're looking into some self pay options in the US. I've found a surgeon that is doing VSG for $7800, in FL. I've resuested info.

Keep me in prayer. I'm praying for all of you <3

      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. 🤞
