I got sleeved on July3rd . So I'm week post opt . Im looking for anyone who basically want to be there for each other with support and questions that normal people (ones who didn't get surgery) wouldn't understand. I feel like I always do my best when I have motivation and a support team there for me . I made a Instagram account strictly for my sleeve stuff because i didn't really tell anyone i was getting it. I hate when people say its the easy way out because there is nothing easy about this. So i kept it to myself . So if anyone wants to be friends feel free to add or message me . Im 23 from ny , Im really nice lol and I talk to like everyone

My instagram name is crystallmarie_vsg

I was sleeved on June 21st, so a few weeks before you. Live in NJ and happy to be sleeve friends (if you want a guy's perspective). You can find me on WhatsApp and FB Messenger. Or private message me here for contact info.

The 'easy way out' huh. Meeting the strict guidelines pre-op wasn't easy. Changing our entire lifestyle and diet wasn't easy. Walking into the operating theatre, seeing the surgical team ready to cut us open, knowing life was about to change permanently and there was no going back, wasn't easy. The pain of recovery and having to learn how to eat again wasn't easy. Dealing with the hormone changes and mental challenges due to changing pretty much everything about the way we live was not easy.

Maybe the next time these people speak up we can ask them when the easy part starts, yeah? Don't ever doubt yourself!

I was sleeved 7/7. I'd love to be friends! I'm in central NJ. I've barely told anyone except my family and 2 friends. It would be nice to have someone else to talk to who's gone through it. Even my family, as wonderful and supportive as they are, can't quite understand. It's just something you don't truly get unless you've gone through it! =)

      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.
