February Sleevers -- Let's Do This Together



Recommended Posts

Are any of you on the 17th going to Dr. Ortiz?

Dr.Ortiz is my surgeon and I'm scheduled for this coming Friday on the 10th. Will be staying at the Marriott. I just live on the other side of the border in North San Diego, so I'm glad to not have to deal with traveling more than an hour.

I just got my date yesterday. I was surprised how fast my insurance approved it! February 15th is the start of my new beginning/Journey. I think it's a great idea for February Sleeves to do this together!

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.

My date is February 15th. I think it's a great idea for us February Sleeves to join together!

My date is February 8th :) I'm a wide range of emotions!!!

Mine is the 8th as well and I'm starting to feel the nerves. Lol

My family asks if it feels real yet and it's starting to. I think it will really sink in when I get the call on Tuesday afternoon for the time they want me to come in Wednesday.

Good luck to you!

As I was eating dinner tonight, it hit me that this weekend is the last time that I eat a large meal with carbs. I kind of freaked out a bit as I start liquid diet on Monday and the surgery is 2 weeks after.

I have waited for this for so long and my life will change forever. I know that this surgery is my answer to no more morbid obesity. Yet I am scared....scared of the unknown. Anyone else understand this??

I am getting my surgery on 2/15. I am super nervous and excited. Glad to have a group that is going through the same thing. I am on day 4 of my pre-op diet. I am really craving an orange, but do not want to cheat. :)

      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. 🤞
