*** September 2018 Sleevers ***

[darlingM 2]

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone here had the sleeve surgery and has multiple sclerosis?

@ Zanny 1978 was planning to have sleeve,surgery early this spring, don't know for sure if she ever had it. That's the most recent,one but if you go back furthur,into past years Yes I believe there are quite a few..

And someone with the initials "dnb" did have a gastric sleeve 6/20/17 the rest are 2 or more years in the past. Hope this helps.

September 24th, here!

I’m self-pay so don’t have to jump through any hoops except attend a class where I learn about my pre-op diet and eating afterwards, etc..

Mine is September 4th. 26 years old, 5”11, 425lbs. Tired of being heavy and have tried everything under the sun to loose weight. I played college football and work a very physically demanding job. Here for about the past 6 months it seems like everyone around me can do physical activity so much easier than me, so that was the last straw. I’m self pay and moved pretty fast about getting it scheduled. Did my endoscope yesterday, no hernias or ulcers, just some reflux and eroded esophagus but doc said that can be fixed afterwards and it won’t interfere with surgery, so that is a blessing. I officially start the low fat diet on the 21st but have already started it. Pysch evaluation next week and pre surgery registration, along with an MRI for my lower back due to sciatic nerve pain (another reason I am getting surgery, have had previous back surgery from a disc, and have been told my weight is not helping). All in all I’m excited and ready but having anxiety about going under even though I did well yesterday with going under for the endoscope. That and the thought of knowing that 3/4 of my stomach is gone seems like it will be a strange feeling, but the end goal is worth it in my mind.

Welcome! Good luck with everything for your pre-op phase. I cannot even imagine trying to go the self-pay route.
