April 2017 sleevers?



Recommended Posts

So my surgery is set for April 19th. I can't believe how fast my 6 mo. requirements went by! I start my 2 week diet on April 5th and pre op meeting on 4/10. Any other April sleevers in the house?

I started my pre-op diet on 4/02, surgery is on 4/12/17. One week from today! My surgeon requires 10 days of pre-op diet only. Hope that is enough to shrink my liver to the right size and minimize risk to myself?

We are getting sleeved on the same day! Nice to meet you, sleeve buddy! :-) I'm having some difficulty dealing with the pre-op diet, as I have to cook for others in my family. Cravings are strong, today is day 4 for me! How are you doing?

Will you guys accept a March Sleever? 3/9/17 was surgery! With help of wife I'm doing great! Had 1 month check up yesterday at Cleve. Clinic. All went well. Down 20# from surgery day and 76# since we started in August of '16. I'm excited!

My surgery is also in the 12th. It will be here before you know it! The first few days of the pre-op diet I like to refer to as my "detox". It was bad with headaches which caused me to vomit and so hungry . But after a few days I felt human again and it has gotten easier. Good luck everybody!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
