I want to see those October Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Anyone have their sleeve surgery scheduled for next month? I will be traveling from the MidWest to have mine at Blossom Bariatrics in Las Vegas on 10/9 😤 Also will be my first time in Vegas!

Starting the pre-op diet next Thursday and I have to admit...I'm just feeling like having a food funeral for all of my favorite meals. Scared I will develop complications and be super far away from my surgeon/medical team. At the same time, I am SO excited to have this tool to get ahold of my life!

I would love to keep in contact with some fellow October newbies.....

I’m scheduled for 10/29. Haven’t started the pre-op yet. Not until the 15th.

Im scheduled for next week but can surely agree with the pre op diet worries. I have modified my diet since July when I scheduled but as soon as the two weeks approached I wanted everything I shouldn't have. I find that I do best when I follow a full liquid diet and not incorporate meat and veggies....I don't know why that is but on those days I do liquids and will have cottage cheese. When I try the meat and spinach I always become tempted to add other foods. I wish you well with your surgery.

I had a great experience there in September. The staff was great and knowledgeable (most had the procedure at Blossom). Good luck next week!

Surgery Oct 1, returning to work on Oct 21st. I was originally going to go on the 17th, but I had that brief post op complication. I had the bypass though. I heard the sleeve recovery is much faster! @Nice1

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
