Why are you so upset over other members telling you what they found helpful when they went to the hospital? That is normally why one wold post on these forums, for suggestions from other. Guess you just wanted everyone to know that you can pack a hospital bag. Sent from my SM-G920P using the BariatricPal App

I am having surgery August 10th. I am beyond excited! Started the process 3 years ago and its finally gonna happen!Been on my preop diet fir 5 days.

Hi all! Let me give you a little background info. I am 31, 295 lbs, mom to a 20 month old beautiful littke girl and wife. My weight has completely taken over and ia controlling my life. My insurance dies not cover wls. However, my grandfather is going to possibly gelp my pay for sleeve. I am trying to gather as much info I can to present to him to help my case. Would anyone be willing to write a testimonial on how vsg has positvely changed your life? If interested in helping me out let me know and I will get my email address to ya. Thanks so much! Mandy

I would love to have that link if you can find it. If you want you can email it to me at ajjohnson82@gmail.com For some reason the site wont let me pm you.

Hi all! I'm new here and still in the pre op phase. Looking for friends who had Dr Curry in Cincinnati perform their sleeve surgery. Just looking for advice and support from others. Looking forward to sharing my story an hearing yours too!

I am trying my hardest to hang in there. But thia game might be getting the best of me. Especially since I have no control with obtaining the funding what so ever. It is a yes or no deal, one shot, my only way of making this surgery happen.

This is true. I feel like I have been waiting forever, it has been a few months. You keep me posted too! Best wishes!

Guilty! I am a stalker too! Now I don't feel so bad.

Desperately looking for people who had Dr Curry! Anyone out there?

I'm new here and just needed to vent a little I guess. I am going to ve self pay for vsg. This could be a little long. A little back ground on my story. My grandparents told me a few months ago they would pay for plastics if I list all my weight. After alot of research and thought, I approached them with allowing me to gave vsg instead. I have already met with my surgeon and have been approved for surgery. Now I am just waiting for my grandparents to give me the go ahead. I have about 160 to lose and am so ready to start this journey. Yes, I am even excited to start the pre op diet. This waiting game is about to destroy me. I can't sleep at night. I lay awake and think about information I can give them to convince them that this will be great for me. I can't atop thinking about what I will look like, how I will feel, the things I will be able to do. Sorry to sound all emotional on you all but you too know what an emotional journey this is. Hoping to get my answer soon ao I can get on the schedule! And fyi, I hate my insurance for excluding thia surgery! !!

I hope so too. I have been an emotional wreck waiting on them to give me an answer. They are afraid something bad is going to happen to me as a result of surgery. And also that it's not going to work. I had a very emotional phone conversation with them this afternoon and my grandfather told me lack of self control is what made me like this and surgery is not going to fix that. I dont know what is going to happen. I hope that I get to have it done and I hope they give me an answer soon!

The 15300 is for everything including pre op diet.

Unfortunately when the seminars are held they are not able to go. My surgery is 15, 300. I reall can't travel for surgery, I have a 19 month old. She is my driving force to get this done!

There will be no Mexico travels for me. My surgery will be in Cincinnati. PdxMan I will do some more looking on the site. I have compiled alot of info so far and given it to them. I feel like I am getting closer. Just hoping that its not false hope. I need this surgery so badly! If I can think of any direct questions I will definately pm you! I am just ready for peace of mind know that surgery is coming and that I am on the schedule. Them paying for it is my only option. I can not afford it on my own! Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Thank you PdXman. I appreciate it. If you would like to sent me a pm with anything you would have to say to them I will print and give to them.

They have not made a decision yet on if they are going to allow me to have vsg. They are worried about the risks of surgery. They have talked to one to many people who had gastric bypass when it first came out. That is like comparing apples and oranges. They just don't want anything bad to happen and I understand that. But what is going to happen to me if I don't get the weight off?
