June Sleevers Lets Get Excited!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello All! I am having a hard time processing my feelings about my surgery so I am starting a blog. I have never edited video before so hopefully I can get better. This first video is longer than what the rest will be.

I go for my preop appointment this Thursday. I will be recording parts of that experience. I am not sure if this will help anyone, but it will hopefully help me at the bare minimum.

Thanks and and good luck! Surgery is June 11. So two week away!

Hey @ Amanda403, you are going to be fine! Are you going to be on YouTube? And what are you going to call it? Maybe something like "Anxious Amanda gets Her Sleeve"?👉😧👈

Haha that’s a good one. I am completely nervous as I am sure most are. I thought no I got this though. I am down 43 lbs since January. Next video is to come next week.

Yes, we are going to do it on the exact same day and same surgeon. She is doing her at 7:30am and I am doing mine at 9am. My mom and Dad are going to help us as needed. So it is mice to have help!

Hey, I’m scheduled for the 8th June 2018 in the uk. 224lbs before pre op diet x


Hi Pinkxxx, I am a few days before you on June 4th & starting at 17st (238lb).

Not many of us Brits on here! I'm a Londoner but am having the Op in the Czech Republic - would have loved to have it in the UK but didn't want to pay £12k or have to jump through endless hoops to get it on the NHS! Best of luck to you - not long now!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
