And It Begins ...



Recommended Posts

Today was my final weigh in & everything should have gone to insurance today!

My CNRP that runs the program insists I should be an easy approval, BUT it will probably be at least Tuesday before I hear! I keep having palps that I will be denied. LOL

Anyway.... thanks for all the support on this site!! I am so glad you know how I am really feeling!

Thanks all! They promised to email me to state my approval even before it goes on my file. LOL

I guess that's a definite plus to working with my surgeon's office for my regular 9-5!! And the all have my extension burned into their brains! ;-)

dont go nuts

go into this (knowing its gonna be tough) but it is very much needed to help ready you for surgery. its more (mental) than anything. i swear if i can do it, you can as i was like (there is no way i could do 2 week pre and post with no food and only liquids). but you know what my hub said. you wanted this so do what you need and have to do to make it happen.

so i will tell you the same.

do what you have to do and make this a reality.

you got this. you do. we are all here for you

(even maddys whose butt i shall beat if she keeps taking my pink popsicles).

just start and say to yourself, bring it on.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
