Hi everyone I'm also looking to get sleeved this august still haven't decided what doctor I want but for sure I'm getting in august . I am 30 yrs old with 2 beautiful daughter.

I'm a little confused . . . if you haven't decided on a doctor yet, have you completed all the preparatory tests, visits with a nutritionist, group meetings, psych and cardiac and other clearances? I'm just wondering how you can be certain it'll happen in August?

Yes I have done all that's with my doctor here in Orlando, FL. I am a also self pay which I been doing some research and was reading about Mexico so now I'm totally confused . I know my family will be against me having it done in Mexico.

Oh, okay, I understand. Most of the things I've read on here have been very positive about the experience of getting it done in Mexico. I hope you can come to a decision that will make you and your family both comfortable. Good luck!

My consult with the surgeon is scheduled for the 31st of July. Unless my surgeon schedules me closer to the four-week mark than the six-week mark, I'm going to be a September sleever. :(

My surgery is scheduled for August 21st which is pretty awesome because it is just not long after my birthday. I am a mix of excited because I have waited for so long, but also nervous as this is my first major surgery.

I'm scheduled for August 21 as well!

      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.
