South Jersey Pre-op or post-pop sleevers (20-30 yr old women)



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I am 26 going on 27 in a few weeks and I'm in nearing the ending of my preliminary appointments before going on the post-op diet right before surgery. I'm currently a full-time doctoral student, active member of my church serving in multiple ministries, and married to my wonderful husband who is making a life change as well.

I wanted to know who here is from SNJ and hopefully we can connect to be a support system. I have membership at PF and will be attending regularly since I have been cleared to do so.

This is such a heavy decision and a life change that is better supported by people who can show empathy. Let's connect!!

Blessings!

Congrats!!! I pray that all goes well for you! How has your journey been so far? I just finished my pulmonary dr appt yesterday and I was cleared. I'm just waiting for my sleep study and my last nutrition appt. I'm am STRUGGLING at the moment with my eating. I'm losing weight, but I've noticed I've have been a bit carb heavy the past few days. I had a full Breakfast this morning so I'll be watching it now.

I believe it!!! Definitely a journey with a great reward. Ironically, I was just hospitalized and my nurse tech had his sleeve done 11 months ago and he lost almost 190lbs!! He looks great and he says he feels much lighter although he's been slipping up a little.

      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.
