Any March 2021 Sleeve Patients?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, now that it’s been over 2 years since our surgeries, just wondering how everyone is traveling? Did you reach your goals? Are you maintaining? Would love to hear your stories.

For me, it’s been the best decision. I can eat a lot more now and have to be way more careful with my choices but I find I can bring it back under control if I go back to the basics and monitor my carb intake.

I lost 110 lbs, but have put back 10 due to careless binge eating of sliders. I am re-addicted to sugar and it's making me slowly put weight back on. I need to get myself back under control and include more Protein.

In more positive news, I am a runner now and have a 10K coming up. I'm so excited!!

I had my sleeve done on March 22. Also had a 3cm hiatal hernia repair at the same time. About 7-8 weeks out. food tastes different sometimes and the Vitamins make my stomach ache.

Down about 83 pounds. My weight loss plateaued in year 2 despite exercise but I still lost inches. My tolerance for sugar has increased higher than I'd like but definitely not near pre surgery levels. I love that I don't experience the feeling of hunger and my portions are small but enough so I can look "normal" in social food situations. I need to find a new workout & tighten up my discipline again to get back on track to lose more.

Hi All! So a little over two years, and it's mostly all good news! I've run like 6 5k races now, but I hurt my knew in April and haven't run for 2 months. Started running again this week, but it's amazing how hard it is to get back into that mindset. I'm 10lbs up from my goal weight that I had hit and maintained for a year so that's a little frustrating. I know I need to get back to basics, but that sugar craving is ROUGH! I also find that I'm mindlessly eating so that is part of what I need to nip in the bud before 10 becomes 20 and so on. It's so weird though... before I wouldn't have even noticed gaining 10lbs. Now I can FEEL it. Hope everyone else is doing well!

      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.
