Are there any April 2017 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I will be getting sleeved in Tijuana on April 10, just wondering if anyone else will be making the trek to Mexico around that time?

When did you all start this process? I was just wondering how quick after initial contact can you make the appointment. After months of decision making, I'm ready to go! Good luck to you all and I hope to be joining you soon!

I literally made my decision early February and paid my deposit shortly after. I am only going in April to accrue more pto otherwise I would've gone sooner.

I started the process in August with the goal of being sleeved in Feb. My insurance required a 6 month supervised diet. My biggest delay was getting a CPAP machine after being diagnosed with sleep apnea. They required me to us it for 4 weeks prior to submitting the forms to insurance. I just got my surgery date on Friday around 3rd.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
