Any August 2017 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I pray all goes well for you! I'm anxious about the complications as well! My current weight is 246lbs. I lost 12 lbs so far. Can't wait till it's over and I'm through the recovery stage.

Yay! I'm happy for yowhat are you planning on telling your child? Do you have someone who can help out during your recovery time? My husband travels and I don't have any family nearby. I am trying to figure out how to handle everything on my own.

Thank you! I'm happy for all of us! My mom is here and his dad has him quite often! My sister is also going to travel from Texas to be here with me for the first week! I haven't said anything to him because he is VERY protective of me. Lol, I'm just going to have his dad keep him as normal for the few days that I'm in the hospital. Do you have any close friends near you that could help?

Hi, everyone, I'm in upstate NY and I've received a tentative date of August 28th. Didn't expect it to be that soon! but I still have a lot of steps to go through--psych, cardiac, and pulmonary clearances, an upper endoscopy, another group meeting . . . it's going to be a busy July.

Best of luck to everyone!

I am 67 and need a new hip but doc won't give me surgery till I lose 100 lbs so .... sleeve surgery 8/21... anything to get rid of the pain

I could have written almost the same sentence, except that it's my knees, not my hip. But oh, yeah, the pain. So debilitating.

      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.
