I am June also, but I am a conversion. I am new here so I didn’t see if there are any conversion stories. I had the sleeve in 2014 and had a lot of complications but came out successful. Unfortunately, my reflux has gotten bad and my endoscopy showed quite a bit of damage. I am converting to bypass on 6/26, two days before my 40th birthday 🤦🏻‍♀️

I'm sure there are more than you might think. As a virgin soon-to-bypasser I think you guys outnumber me in spades. No matter how you got,here we,love you and are happy you want to join my happy herd of Kangaroos. Why kangaroos? Because we all have or will soon have pouches. I was only thi,king,of a sleeve for 12-15 hours then I had my mental conversion and I can hardly wait to have the physical manifestation as well. I started on my I Want Bariatric Surgery safari,in August 2015, a lot of bumps, twists, starts stops and hairpin curves but my Date with Destiny will come and it should be month or slightly more. I keep petitioning Heaven so long God and all the Holy Saints have heard enough. I visiualize them saying Give Frusrt8 her surgery so we can get some other work done, answer more prayers and petitions. Saint James probably is saying Spain needs my intercession but I barely can hear them over top of Frustr8 and her equalling. I even drafted Saint Gerlach, a more minor saint. I liked reading his story, rather resonated with me. To repent of youthful indiscretions, he went to Rome, took a vow of poverty and went to live in a hollow tree at the edge of the Netherlands, he's for me because
Late Lamented was 1/2 Dutch
I worked in healthcare from my youth on
I worked for WalMart-that substatiates poverty
A hollow tree , well that's about what I can afford
His feast day is January 5th which is close to my actual birthday
He is a minor saint, so not so busy, so he might appreciate the business, It must be difficult flying around Heaven and no one asks your help. Might make him feel unloved and underappreciated and i,know how that feels myself. Look him up if you want on Wikipedia he has churchs etc honoring him in Northern to Middle portion of Holland.👼

Hello everyone I'm kind of upset I was ready for my june date to have my surgery. Unfortunately eveything is on hold right now. The heart dr. found a hole is my heart. So now I have to do another echo with contrast to get a better look at it. It looks like I will have a July date now.

Ladybabs I will try it and keep you posted. I purchased the caramel and Cookies and creme Protein Shake and I wanted to purchase a Protein liquid.

I bought the tropical fruit flavored one. They are pretty good; however, they do have a slightly chalky aftertaste. Sometimes I will add Water and a similar or complementary flavored Crystal Light packet or plain lemon juice to help with the chalkyness. I also like a product called Proti Diet concentrated Protein (Amazon). Just squeeze into your water. The downside is that there are only 15g or so of protein but the taste is very good. I recommend wildberry or tropical. Yes I love tropical flavors and hope to find myself on an island one day soon😁🍍🍹

      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.
