Hello!

I was suppose to be a September bandster, but was denied by my Ins because of a 1.8lb gain. :(

I am currently jumping through more hoops. I have two more weigh ins and hope I get approved this time and will get banded November 14!

Hi. New here to the forum. I am scheduled for surgery on Nov. 15th. I still have to have pre admission pulmonary testing. I have that next week. I just had my cardiac testing and received clearance on that. Nervous and excited at the same time. I will be looking through the board topics for advice!

I haven't gotten any instructions on a pre-op diet! When I called today and got my surgery moved up a week they asked if I received the surgery information packet, which I have not. Maybe it's in the mail and my pre-op diet instructions are in it.....

      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. 🤞
