Hey guys im new to this world. Help a sister out. My journey starts in October. Not sure how to prepare fot huge adjustment.

Hi Cannie,

Welcome! I can tell you how I prepared for surgery and sleeve-life. I watched as many YouTube videos I could find on the sleeve, joined this forum, and read everything I could get my hands on. When I spoke with my surgeon, he provided me with info I would need to prepare for my pre-op and post-op diet. Search this forum for any and all experiences that interest you. If you can, join the local support groups for sleevers. There are so many different experiences you can learn from.

When the time comes for surgery, make sure you follow your docs instructions to the letter. They are to help you to avoid any complications. You will find that different docs give different instructions, but follow whatever your doc says.

Good luck! And can't wait to see you on the "sleeved side"!

Thanks so much, im going to need all the help and support and I can get. I too watch utube videos but want to search people in there 40's. Most are young

I made my own YouTube channel to help support those who are older. I did find a few who were older but they had their surgeries some time ago so I didn't subscribe to them. The people I've subscribed to are closer to my time frame.

Here are some links I saved:
