Any short sleevers?



Recommended Posts

I am 5'1 and weighed 245 on surgery date. i lost 90 lbs in about 6 months or so ... then another 40 by about a year -14 months out. I dont know if it took longer than most, but I was okay with the progress. Im 8 years out and have kept it off (now at 115) - maybe losing a little slower isnt a bad thing! Good luck to everyone!

Wow!! That’s actually very inspiring. I have a few con workers who got the sleeve and they failed. And they have me paranoid, they still eat small amounts but let me tell you....I see where they went wrong and I pray I never fall back to old habits. For lunch they carry those big ampm guzzlers filled with soda!!! Like HOW?!!!! Why?!!!!! I don’t understand why you would do that to your body!!! Here I am trying to do all things right for a successful sleeve and here they are not caring at all!!! Another one that I know smokes more than a chimney (no offense) I have nothing against smokers at all!!! But wow!! Why would you do that to yourself?? So listening to your story gives me hope that I will succeed all my life

I am 4’11 had my surgery on feb 19 2018. When I started I weighted 197 and my BMI was 39. My BMI was shy by one number to get to get approval for surgery but with my sleep apnea I was approved. My surgery weight was 189. I’m a little over 2 months out and have lost 40lbs. My doctor says by October I should be about 105-110 pounds with how well I’m doing losing weight.

        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.

      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
