I was one week into my pre-op diet with surgery set for 11/15. Everything was going great and I was so excited to finally be getting there. Then I got a call Tuesday from my surgeon's office that my insurance denied me and my surgery was cancelled. They will help me start the appeal process but to be in the middle of my pre-op diet and so close to surgery and have it all just stop is heartbreaking.

Anybody keeping a journal of their journey on You Tube they would like to share with me? I find watching the videos to be really helpful to me, they give me a lot of good ideas and support, much like these forums. I even stepped out of my comfort zone and started my own video journal and it helps me keep accountable and stay on course. It's GrandmaDena VSG if anybody wants to get to know me. I just got my surgery date of November 15, so it's an exciting time for me Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I finished my six month appointment last week and now I'm just waiting for the call with my surgery date. This week has gone by soooooo slowly! I'm just excited to get going, as I know you are too. Good luck, it will get there before you know it! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My name is Dena, I've been reading the posts here for a few weeks and thought I'd say hi. I'm pre-op VSG, a little over four months into a six month program. So far so good, and hoping for surgery in October/November, fingers crossed. I'm excited, and happy to be a part of this community. After watching so many people track their journey on You Tube, I decided I would like to try that too. I thought it would help me both with motivation and staying accountable. You can find me as GrandmaDena VSG if you want to check it out. I'm really out of my comfort zone getting in front of a camera, but I'm pushing myself to try new things. Take care everyone, I look forward to getting to know all of you better! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Attention whoring is pretty offensive. I feel like many of the video blogs have been very helpful to me and I have been thinking about doing one when I get to the pre-op diet phase. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

The program I started says no alcohol at all. Besides the calories, it can dehydrate you and people that have had Bariatric surgery are at a much greater risk for developing alcoholism, even if you never had issues prior to the surgery. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had one years ago and I was nervous too. It's super easy though, and over before you know it Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
