Hi All,

I'm attending a seminar on the 21st on the sleeve. Is anyone at this point? I'm scared because it's a huge life change. Also, silly things run through my head like... how will I know if I'm eating slow enough? I'm so afraid of getting sick. Also, I always pictured my wedding with champagne. I'm reading up and I know that's a big no no! I don't want to be in pain! Can anyone help with these questions? Thanks!!!

Hi Dawn!

The seminar my husband and I attended was very helpful, informative, and enjoyable. All of our initial questions were answered and even ones we hadn't thought about were discussed as well.

I hope your experience is as positive!

My husband was sleeved two months ago and says learning to pay attention to his body's cues has been a major factor in his loss of 50+ pounds.

I am excited to get sleeved by Christmas and look forward to all the help and support on this site.

Wishing you all the best and look forward to sharing in this journey. ☺

I was so nervous when I was attending my seminar. I was acting like I was about go to surgery that day! Lol it was very informative and felt comfortable to commit to getting it done. Now I'm almost done with my requirements for my insurance. So it may be August or September when I have the surgery. Now the nerves
are back! Lol

Wish you the best of luck!

      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. 🤞
