Hello!

Welcome to the forums! This is a good place for support and advice.

I am navigating the journey to sleeve surgery. Hoping to have surgery by the end of the year. With a job/insurance change, I'm not sure what hoops I have to jump through yet. My husband was sleeved in April this year and has had no complications. He's down 70 pounds since then. Looking forward to following your journey to health!

Wishing you all the best!!

Ignatious, Linda and Harmony... I too have a Sleeve date of August 9th... seems like I have been waiting for almost a year and now I am so excited and nervous at the same time... Is that how you feel?? I have been on the Protein Shakes since Monday, so far so good. I think I am just so determined that this is my last shot to have a tool to change my life, that I am not fighting it.

Tell me how you are doing?

Doing great, nervous of course. Pre op diet is tough but looking at the light at the end of the tunnel! Watched slot of stories on YouTube which eased my mind.

that is a great idea, I haven't watched any stories or even went to the b4 and afters on here yet, I have been caught up on all the researching on what my life changes are going to be and preparing that way. I like knowing I am educating and I am committed to this new life. My nervousness is going away, excitement is growing.

So you are on an all liquid diet? I have 3 Protein Shakes and 1 lean cuisine (prepared meal). Seems a lot of doctors put patients on an all liquid diet. All the diet consists is 800 calories seems like, I don't know why an all liquid diet is necessary

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
