Ok Kim now you've jinxed yourself, everything will be your fault because you 'touched' her file. Your job sounds so exciting. How did you hear about it?

Oh Jennifer I hope not....but you are probably right.

How did I find it....well I told him (Dr. V) & Erin the office manager that I was being laid off and if they knew anyone hiring I would get them my resume. The next thing I know is I was emailing my resume to him and even w/ no medical exp they thought I could do the job. I am very thankful for the chance. I have learned so much in just a week...WOW the medical field is SO different. It is alot of fun though....

I'm excited, but the waiting is killing me! If I get a date in April, from research to surgery will be 8 long months. Hey, it's a life time committment, better later than never :)

Karen, I hope you hear something soon girl. 8 months is a long time to wait but it will be well worth it! Please let us know when you find something out.

OK, so I called UHC. They have a reference number on the pre-determination, but no status yet. At least I know they have it! :) I also got the standard "it could be 30 days" disclaimer.

I don't have to tell you it will be so worth the wait!

We are going to have to have a party when you get the approval!!!

      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.
