one step closer/test results/paperwork



Recommended Posts

Today I went in for the results of my blood work, and to have the paperwork signed and faxed to my insurance to start Weight Watchers then meet with a surgeon and schedule my surgery are the next step. Its still unreal I'm way excited!!

My blood work wasn't too bad but not 100% good, sadly. My testosterone lvls are high, my thyroid lvls are high and my risk for heart related issues are high as well. My doctor has referred my to a thyroid doctor for everything. And she believes that these could be related to why I've gained all my pregnancy weight back so fast and can't seem to take it off. And why I've always been over weight my whole life which is kinda a relief to know but she isn't 100% sure which is why ill be seeing a thyroid specialist.

But my insurance paperwork has been signed and is being faxed as we speak yay!! I'll be calling my insurance tomorrow to talk about when I start my weight watchers and if ill be doing the full 6 months of not.

I am so excited guys. I have one more step then I will get banded even tho it'll take 6 months till I reach the next step its well worth it. I figure ill be banded by my 22nd birthday!!!

Also btw I lost 4lbs on my own in a week omg I've never been able to lose lbs on my own I'm so proud of myself I'm at 261.8 from 265.7 go me!!!

Congratulations and good luck!!! I hope you don't have to do the full 6 months of WW and are pleasantly surprised that you'll not only have your band but have begun losing weight with it by your 22nd birthday! You jumped in at a good time in your life sweetie! You have 3 quarters left to be smokin' hot! I'm jealous... :)

Thank you, I'm also hopping I won't have to do a full 6 months of WW, I'd be fine with doing 3 months or less. I'm happy I got an early start just mean ill have more time being happy, healthy and skinny lol.

        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
