Well I found out I qualify 100% for weight loss surgery. My doctor agrees based on everything I've done to try and lose weight and failed at, also found out I gained 2lbs :( but that's okay. She recommended a surgeon as well. Ill be getting blood work done to check my hormone lvls, cholesterol, thyroid and sugar lvls. Also called my insurance today and the cover the surgery in FULL and they also said I more then qualify for the surgery. They just sent out the paperwork today for me to take to my doctor and have sign then I can start the process on getting my surgery!!!! I will have to do 6months of weight watchers tho which they pay for as well. Found one in my city that's a plus! Told me I would have to lose 10% of my body weight during that 6month period which is only 26lbs. If I make it close to that ill still be able to have my surgery!!

I'm so have beyond belief guys! I can wait 6months its only a short time for the rest of my life to be happy, healthy and in shape!

I still can't believe this is gonna actually happen. By my 22 birthday in January or 2014 I will be band!!!Even tho that'll be 6-7months away I know its worth the wait and having to go threw 6months on weight watches will help me in the long run with my lap band. And ill give it me all but I'm not gonna let myself lose more then 20-26lbs during the 6months of weight watch only because I don't want them to say oh well you did so good with that how about you don't get banded and just keep with weight watchers. Because I know that once I try to lose this weight just with that its gonna be so hard. And I won't be able to keep it off at all. But if I had the band and did weight watchers I could get the weight off fast and keep it of because ill have the extra help that I need more then anything

      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.
