So my surgeons office had me print out a 12 page questionair about my weight / history. Ive been asnwering honestly but some of these questions Im kind of scared to answer. Maybe if i answer wrong it will set my surgery back ?

For example :

What is the quailty of your sleep ? Good __ Fair __ poor __

How often do you wake up more than once durning the night ? Never _____ Always _____

Do you feel sleepy durning the day ?

Does beinf active make your chest feel right or make you wheeze ?

Now .. for one .. I have a new baby at home .. so no , i dont get alot of rest altho he is sleeping thro the night . So yes , i am tired durning the day sometimes . Yes , i do wake up at night but only because of my baby . And im FAT OF COURSE i feel out of breath when i excerise ! Do i wheeze ? No but im certainly out of breath ! How am i suppose to answer these questions ? I dont wanna say anything wrong . : / Whats up with the sleep apena test ? Do they want you to have a problem sleeping or not ? Is it better for insurance if you do ? Im so lost. =(

Just answer the questions honestly...if you feel the need to explain a few of them to the doctor then by all means do so. I think you're truly overthinking this, lol. It's like asking someone if the name you're writing on the paper is your own.

They're asking these questions to determine whether or not you may have underlying health conditions such as sleep apnea, asthma, etc. If you have sleep apnea then yes it can make getting approved for surgery a lot easier.

Yep, just be honest. Those questions are to determine if you have sleep apnea. They need to know these things for your own well being so be truthful. Don't read to much into it, just be honest.

I think I would answer the questions from before you had your baby. Yeah they just want to see if you have sleep apnea. You may have to go for a sleep study, to see

        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
