More Progress

I meet with the surgeon tomorrow. So far I've been really impressed with his office staff. They've been prompt and very courteous.

I've filled out a ton of questionaires (sp?), have already requested all the required medical records, and hope they've been faxed when I get there.

I have a sleep study this Friday (10/28/05). I have restless leg w/periodic limb movement disorder, and they want to re-check me for apnea. I had minimal apnea 6 years & many pounds ago.

I have an appointment with a nutritionist on Tuesday (11/01/05).

I guess the big ones left are endoscopy & a visit to the shrink, but 3 appointments in the next 8 days is enough to do me for this week. I'll look into scheduling the rest of it after I see the doctor tomorrow.

I'm sure I'm dreaming, but it would be so awesome to walk out of there tomorrow with a surgery date! smile.gif

Thats great, you'll have a date before you know it. Just get those other appoinments out of the way and they will have no reason not to send to insurance...then you get a date quick usually.

Last night at Girl Scouts I was hidding out in the kitchen, because I couldn't eat....that sounds weird...but basically volunteered to help serve because I couldn't eat...any way.... Was talking about the lapband and another lady there said she was a former patient of Dr. V and was seeing the doctor he refered her to...oh can't remember the name. But anyhow...just goes to show...its a small darn world. I told her about lapband talk and about our group, don't know if she will join us, but I hope so.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
