Hi! I'm scheduled to be sleeved on May 2nd. I'm looking for buddies who are getting sleeved around the same time. Doesn't need to be on the same day. Looking for others who are like me, more relaxed, and whose program is not Keto and super low carb. My program and nutritionist promote moderation and healthy choices.

I'm 38, stay at home mom of 3. I like video games, anime, Buffalo sports, reading, writing...I'm working on trying to enjoy working out. I talk to my best friends a lot, but one is thin and really can't get everything I talk about, and the other is plus size, but accepts that about herself, and in fact, seems to try to avoid talking about the surgery with me other than wishing me the best. I don't want to push it, I was really uncomfortable once at the notion of WLS . Having someone who understands and is going through a lot of what I'm going through to talk to would be really helpful.

Hi! I'm May 2 as well. Our backgrounds sound similar - I talk to my friends a lot, but I know what you mean, they don't quite get it. I'm 39, have two boys and work outside the home. (Just went through a divorce, but it's for the best, so I'm ok with that.)

I'm ready and very excited. Haven't decided the route I'm taking yet, other than healthy eating post recovery. I have just learned to like the gym and overall healthier lifestyle.

Would love to share our experiences and help keep other on track. Maybe through FB as this gets very confusing with all the threads!

How are you all doing? I'm feeling mostly good, just some soreness, and a bit of nausea. My tummy doesn't seem to like anything but sugar free popsicles.

I'm not hungry at all, but my head likes to play games. It's not terrible though. The fact that I'm already seeing my weight drop helps. I was only 5 lbs heavier after surgery from fluids, and they dropped within two days.

I'm really looking forward to moving without pain though.

Congrats I am glad to know you are doing good!! My date is slowly approaching -May17th I am very nervous but trying to stay calm as possible. I have not been doing that good on this pre op two week diet! So currently that is my main focus to get my eating habits together.

      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.
