Congrats to everybody! Mine's been moved up to 3/9 but the patient coordinator still hasn't submitted it to BCBS of MA for approval. Sure hope I don't end up with an insurance nightmare.:tongue_smilie:

Mine has actually gone pretty smooth except for all the tests and all. I didn't have a supervised diet or anything so it was pretty easy. So can't wait to go clothes shopping and be able to shop in the smaller peoples section!!!!!!!!! YIPPY.. Good luck to everyone else that has their surgeries coming up next month!!!! Please let me know how it goes.:tongue_smilie:

Congrats to all on your approval! Get ready for the wild ride. I was banded on 1/27 and haven't looked back.I'm down 21 pounds today! 2 huge things have happened - I've gone shopping in my own closet and found tons of 'new' clothes, and I dropped a shoe size so I went shoe shopping at home too!

I wish you all the best! Use this forum for everything. Its saved me and my sanity many days. Keep in touch and I'm happy to answer any questions!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
