Hello, I'm new to the forum and excited to find AA Sleevers. I'm so nervous, I'm two months into my insurance required six supervised visits. I've finished labs, the sleep study and several x-rays. I'm excited nervous. I want to lose 20-30lbs before the surgery, unfortunately, it seems like that is the same 20-30lbs I've been trying to lose for the last five years. I have not shared that I'm having the surgery with my family, friends (except one), nor colleagues. I know I need the surgery, but apart of me wants to try it on my own one more time. I know insane, right?

Hi Everyone. I was on line checking out other sleevers' experiences before and after VSG and came across your site! I am abt to embark on my journey and will be having my surgery on December 11th! I'm excited about the prospects ahead; I feel that All doors have been opened for me by Father God and I will be skipping (well, not quite "skipping" yet (lol!) through the o.r. doors. And - the cream on top is that I have found this group and will look forward to sharing it with you all!

HeyKittKat!! You should be healing up right about now! How did the surgery go? Hope all is well with you sis..

My surgery went much better than I expected! I was up and walking the same day. I did a two night stay, then was released to go home. I was fortunate to not have any nausea or vomiting. I actually went back to work a week post op. I have a sit down job. I have absolutely no regrets. The only thing that I am tired of is the Protein Drinks. Ugh! I have to find a better way of getting it in. I cant stand the taste or smell anymore. Yuck!

Glad everything went smoothly for you! Keep us posted!

Hey Letty! No, I don't think you wanting to give it a try on your own once more is crazy. I think we all realize that the surgery in itself is such an extreme step, we almost try and talk ourselves out of it before going forward with it. If we could do it on our own there would be no need for the surgery. There's a reason why you've gotten this far...your doctors obviously agree that you need to have this done! Don't let the jitters scare you away from the new, healthy you. You deserve it. We all do! Good luck and keep us posted.

Hello everyone!! I finished my insurance requirements in Nov. and got my wls approval letter on 12/24. My first drs visit is 1/15. I was hoping for a january sleeve date but might not happen till february. Seeing as how I have to do a two week liquid diet right before the surgery I don't see january surgery date happening for me. But either way I am motivated and ready to get my surgery over with. I'm having my surgery done in Oxford, MS.

Any other MS sleevers out here?

Hello everyone, I'm new to the group and as happy as a kid in a candy store because I found you!! I've enjoyed reading all the previous posts because they answered most of my questions. I started this process 3 times but always had to put it on hold due to family. I told my husband when I started it last Dec. that JESUS is the only way I'd quit this time. I'm very excited and looking forward to my new beginning, especially since it's on my daddy's birthday. I know he's smiling down on me.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
