Judy praying all goes well. One way to look at it, that doctor is going to be extra careful since he's in the headlines right now! Praying for your wisdom as you speak with him! Good luck!

Some of you may remember my insurance put my approval on hold pending some further information from the doctor. I did the liquid diet for the last three days so when I did my "final" weigh in this aftenoon I would hopefully be down. Yay I was down 5 pounds from my original weigh in...not the greatest but at least I was down and hadn't gained since I'd been on the "last supper" plan for a while now! So everything will get sent in again tomorrow...say a prayer for me please!?

Speedy recovery to all the ones healing right now and to those getting ready to go in soon!!

That's one of the greatest thing about this forum "support" I have gained so much insight into pre-op post-op diets and the procedure itself. My surgery is this coming Friday and I feel well prepared because of the enormous information and support from here.

D

so do I. i hate to think how i would have been without this forum. i really do.

Great job Ladybug! I hope you get that approval soon. When does your surgeon think the surgery will happen?

They had already scheduled me for the 22nd of this month so hopefully they'll get the approval in soon. I'm going to continue with the liquid diet assuming that it will and I'm prepared. I'm an hour and a half away from where I have to go, my daughter who is an RN will be going with me so I'll be in good hands before and after my stay in the hospital. My doctor is also a "center of excellence" and I know several who have gone to him.

Good luck!

Ladybug- it's fortunate they will move ahead before the approval. I'm glad your RN daughter will go with you. What a comfort!

      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.
