Any February Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hi! I’m having my surgery at the end of the month and I’m freaking out a bit. I know why I want to do it but I’m worried about the post op.
It’s just a lot to happen to the inside of you!

I have actually had a gastric band when I was too young and it didn’t work so now the sleeve is my best option.

I find that being positive about the whole thing really really makes a difference. But sometimes this whole thing makes it hard to sleep.

Any advice with feeling a bit anxious?

Thanks!! [emoji4]




Just remember that by day three you will be sleeping better. I’m one week post op today and feeling great. First two days/nights sucked but you will wake up 3rd or 4th day and realize you feel a lot less sore and it feels awesome! Went well Extra Strength Tylenol and didn’t take Oxy. Good luck.

I don't have a pre-surgery diet! Just nothing after midnight the night before and had to stop taking all my Vitamins.

This morning I had my pre-admission testing.

Not long after I got to my desk, the hospital billing office called and let me know that insurance had approved me. (the I called the insurance company and confirmed it.)

Holy crap. This is *actually happening* - one week from tomorrow (2/18).

      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. 🤞
