I know I haven't been on in awhile since my psych eval REJECTION. Ugh. Still makes me mad. But i've started thinking about the vsg again lately, and im still trying desperately to save up some cash so that I can go ahead with it
Can't wait to be one of those 'post op' people... -
Went to psych evaluation this morning. He rejected me for right now. Put me in a "hold state". He think's i'm not ready mentally to handle this surgery. What? He has no idea how mentally ready I am. I have to go see him again in 6 weeks after I have "counseling", but by that time all of the pilot program slots will be filled. So long vsg...

Anybody late teens, early 20s had the VSG?
Babygurl posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm 18 years old, and i'm in the process of getting ready to get my sleeve. My only worry is that since i'm so young, should I wait a few years, or go ahead and get it done? Basically my whole family is obese and I don't see anything changing anytime soon for me unless I get this surgery. Any experiences and opinions would be greatly appreciated -
Had an awesome night with some of my friends from high school last night. I missed them
Good times, good times... -
don't beat yourself up about this too much right now. if it continues to occur, speak to your surgeon or something. See what is going wrong. I'm not convinced that it's your fault.

Dr Kelly made a nice sleeve for me 8 days ago. When does the excitement start? (LONG)

hearing your story makes me even more excited to get mine started And i don't really have the financial means, that's why it's so important to do it now. My insurance company is doing a pilot program and they're only paying for the surgery for 100 ppl. im frantically trying to be in one of those spots. so far so good. and about everything that you try on fitting, if that's the worst that can happen, I am totally ok hahaha -

Yeah that's what i'm most nervous about too I'll have to remember to tell everybody so that I get the meds and don't wake up feeling terrible. Thanks -

Well that makes me feel better then. Liquid medications don't really bother me, so that'll be easy for me i think. And yeah, i bet it did hurt when you coughed. *ouch*. i've heard about that, the gas pains in ppls stomachs and chests, and then also when people do get nauseated and end up dry heaving right after surgery. that would suck. that's what's got me the most worried. but like you said, the results will far outweigh any difficulties in the beginning I'm super excited -

Yeah that's what I think too. I'm with you. I've suffered enough already, and i'm only 18. Really the only thing that is holding me back now is my mom. At first, she was excited and really wanted me to have the surgery. But now that we've been going to meetings together and getting all of our information together, she is getting scared. I think i'm going to stick to my guns though. I think that after I have the sleeve done, and she sees the positive effects it has on my life, she will change her mind. And I know she will be there with me no matter what. -

I'm so glad that there are other people that went through what I am going through so that I can talk to them. Thank you. Lol. And yeah i'm not really even considering GB, the sleeve is my best bet i think. And that's amazing that you've lost so much already. Only two weeks out. It gets me excited And it's also crazy that your uncle was your surgeon. Lol. You can be sure to have follow up with him. Haha And yeah i've heard about the fake hunger thing. The thing i'm most nervous about is the pain. And the nausea. That aspect of the surgery scares me... -
Well I have my Psych evaluation at the bariatric clinic on monday at 8 in the morning. After that, I just need to meet with the surgeon, and i'll be accepted into the pilot program. If there are any spots left
I really want to get this surgery done. I'll be heartbroken if all the spots are filled -
hi guys. so i just joined vst, and I actually have not been sleeved yet. Im 18 years old, and i've tried every single diet in history and nothing has worked. Basically my whole family has been obese, and i'm hoping to be the one to finally break that cycle. I just want to know your opinions on your sleeves, and if you guys think it is a good option for me. Would LOVE anybody's input. Thanks
