August 2018 sleeve surgery!!



Recommended Posts

Hi, my husband is going for surgery this Tuesday. I might have mine also in August but still no date, last week or the one before the last, guessing and waiting for insurance approval. Now I have to focus on my baby and today we were shopping for the clear liquid diet! Our surprise has been the amount of products that claim being healthy and have almost 2000 on sodium 😱! It’s been a little confused to navégate in this page. I hope with just this group I can manage it better and then teach my husband how to get involved since I am sure will be needed as his support group! Hi to everyone front Texas!

Had mine last August (2017) and I wish each of you a successful surgery and good health. August is a great time to get the surgery. By the time the holidays roll around you'll have figured out your food plans and you won't feel as if you're missing out.

Just joined and new here! Surgery scheduled for Aug 20th and starting to get super nervous. Just ordered my Vitamins today. Looking for support and lots of ideas for food that isn't disgusting. Is anyone else having surgery as an outpatient? I coasted through my 6 months of classes thinking I would be staying overnight if not two nights to learn that my doctor does the sleeve as an outpatient!

Hi all :) My surgery is Aug 6th so I will be preparing the house and getting everything ready for me to come home to after surgery this weekend. I have been kind of nesting already if that makes sense. I just know I will worry about something needing to be accomplished if I don't do it all now. I think i'm more worried about that then surgery lol!


I'm August 6th 11:30 am as well. I'm trying to prepare for after surgery with clean laundry, and a clean house.

August 6th surgery date here. Starting my week-long liquid diet tomorrow.




I thought I would spend this weekend saying goodbye to my favorite foods and restaurants and I just haven't felt like it. I am just ready to get the surgery done.


I'm 8/6 as well. Good luck or many blessings.

      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. 🤞
