so tomorrow (monday), my mom has an appointment with the insurance company that i want to get at 9am, wish i can go but i have school so they will be able to tell her if i am getting it at the appointment, and shell text me. so i hope i do get it so i can finally get my first fill! and so i can go to the dentist cause my teeth have been bothering me badly lately. im really excited but i shouldnt get my hopes up.

anywho, i need to admit that i havent been doing well with many things. 1. havent been controling myself of what i eat and i feel like ive been eating too much yet i havent gained or lost anything. 2. i started working out, did 3 days last week, im hoping i can do it 5 days this week or more, how many days do you guys do it? 3. school has been very stressfull with this budget project we just did ugh. theres been a lot of things going through my head i hate it!!

it feels like my mind is stopping me from doing anything

my mind feels so messed up it hurts! >.<

argh, i hope i get this insurance (:

Insurance was the biggest nightmare of my whoe banding experience. But, it finally came through when I needed it most, so ... good luck tomorrow (monday)!!! Your taking a good step with the exercise so keep it up. I found when I wasn't losing that exercise brought my eating back into focus. I don't know why but it was like, when I excercised I didn't want to screw up the benefits so I made better choices. Right now I've stalled because I quit exercising so thanks for posting your situation as, by replying to you, I reminded myself to get back to it.... Keep it up! School and the other stressers are just part of life. They come and they go and we do our best to get through them... just like banding it is just one day at a time! Thanks again for posting... Good Luck to you!

It's Monday- hope you got the insurance. Also- since you haven't gained it seems like your not doing so bad. I workout 5-6 times a week on cardio and 3 times a week on weights with a trainer. That's great you started working out. Keep it up!

youre welcome, i didnt get the insurance so pooo ): but im going to be exercising after this. what i seriously need to do is, get my eating habbits under control, thats my biggest prob i think. yeah this is my worst last year of high school, im doing extremely well and all but i missed a lot at the begining due to the nausea that i recieved from the surgery, it lasted for 2 and a half months, it got so bad where i couldnt stand or sit up but second semester they reset the absent dates so im only at 3 or 4 days missed this semester so far and you could only miss 15, anything over that you automatically fail, you dont get to graduate. so thats what im stressing about the most, i get everything in on time, ill freak out if i miss something and probably have a melt down.

well im glad it helped you :thumbup:

      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.
