I was happy to weigh in 6 pounds less than i did 3 weeks ago. Anyway they are faxinh pre op authorization request to my dr. My goal is to have surgery approved by the end of July.

July 24th if everything goes well with my EGD on the 16th. Day 2 of pre-op diet. Finally was able to blend a Protein Drink I could finish tonight. Not a fan of the Protein Shake situation. Lol

Ok, so things are moving right along....I have my consultation on July 11th and my xray and EKG on July 12th. My pysh on July 15th and I am having my upper GI xray tomorrow the 19th. I plan to visit my PCP on July 23 to make sure everything is received and ready to be faxed over to the surgeon's office! I hope to hear from the surgeon's office by July 31st thus meeting my goal to be approved for surgery by the end of the month. I suspect that my surgery will be in August which would be great. I am just trying to stay focus on preparing myself for surgery and beyond. Thanks for all the support and responses....you guys rock!

I am so excited today because I am at the salon for the first time in 8 years. I am finally paying attention to me for once! I am looking forward to working hard at my new transformation. I am taking care of me inside and out. Who knew there could be a balance to taking care of my family while taking care of my own needs. Anyway...I would encourage all of you to do sonething nice for yourself. Treat yourself!

Ok so today I was told that my surgery would either be August 27th or September 3rd. August 27th if there's cancellation which I hope there is because that is my preferred date. I am starting to get a little scared though. I have so many questions too.

      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.
