I think you are making the best choice for you and if I had to do the same I would. I’ve seen a lot of great success stories coming out of Mexico. I’m super excited for you. We all have the same goal...to be healthy and happy!! I can’t wait to hear about your experience:) -
I saw these on one of my followers page. They are sold in Sam’s Club only right now. I can’t wait to see if my local club has them. I would love to do a review on VSG journey YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA Especially the cookies and cream The little things that bring joy lol

I think you should have a say on rather or not a student Dr assist in on your surgery. There should be several qualified individuals there but I’d recommend you having that conversation with your surgeon if it makes you nervous. If it’s out of your hands just stay positive and know that everything will be just fine. The final weigh in on the day of surgery is definitely confusing and my question would be rather or not it is a determining factor of if the surgery happens? Do you have a coordinator you can speak with? I would ask and find out more about that part to if I were you. -

I wanted to share this with my April/May Sleevers!! I’m hoping I can find them in my local Sam’s Club since they are so new! Definitely something to consider on our liquid diets. Some new flavors and variety could be a good thing! I like options lol. As soon as I get a box I will do a review on my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoDS8UYKi9Wu1__0j9qJ8rA I already have my favorites so it would be nice to add more to the list #GoGetYouSome -

Also at my pcp appointment I got my EKG and blood work done. I haven’t gotten a chest X-ray but if it’s necessary I will do whatever else needed. I have done a few other test requested by my surgeon as well. -

Oh wow I have Aetna too (POS II) I am also doing the 3 month multi disciplinary program. In order to get the initial consultation I had to see a quality of excellence center. So the first original Bariatric center I went with they would not allow me to move forward with because it was not a quality center of Excellence. So I had to call Aetna and get the locations in my city that were. Since then I haven’t had any issues and I really hope I do not run into any. My requirements are pretty much the same as yours. 3 month Nutrition Visits, Psych Evaluation, 1 support meeting and PCP medical clearance. -

Omg yes anything that requires bending comfortably (shoe tying and toe polishing), leg crossing and I would love to play outside with my kids without tapping out so soon. -

I love your realness and we can relate in so many ways. I’m use to being in control of everything I do and this is the one thing that I’m doing for myself that I don’t know the absolute outcome of. Though my wife is very supportive of my journey she too will never understand my struggles and what led me here. She’s always been slim and never had any real issues with her weight. I have watched many hours and hours of YouTube videos with every person journey under the sun. Which eventually inspired me to vlog my own story. I am interested in seeing how much things change within myself and hopefully help others along the way. I have told very little people about my decision and journey so unless they find my channel it would be news to them. I think the support forums are great and it’s amazing to find those who are riding that same wave as you. So definitely keep us updated because I’m interested in finding out how things are going! I think we all made a great decision in taking the steps to a better us -

Yay I’m so excited! I will keep checking here for your progress. I started vlogging my journey on YouTube I’m so excited to see how things change for me. How did the Psych Eval go for you? Everything has been smooth up until now. My Psychologist have been missing in action. We were suppose to schedule an appointment almost two weeks ago and I cannot reach her. In a few more days I am reaching out to another one but I don’t want to seem impatient since I still have a few months til surgery. -

Hi I’m super late just joined the app but I started my Journey in January. My estimated surgery date is early May. I have completed most of my insurance requirements. Only thing left is Psych Eval and 3 more nutritionists visits ( next one in a week)... so I’m right along with you.
