Make sure that was your first visit. I started in April but they told me the first one didn't count and March was my official first visit. Also the appointments had to be at least 30 days apart. Rules....Rules.. Rules. (They always find a way to make it complicated). My last visit was Sept. 10 and I was approved on Sept. 19. Surgery Oct. 10. Hope everything goes well. It will all be worth it.

Well the consultation would have been my first visit but I had decided u proceed so they did my first history and physical , and PFT ,the lung test .my next visit will be the nutrition and my psyh. Eval, then I got to see the nutritionist 3 more times and do the EKG and blood work, toward the end of my visits. And the recommend the sleep study.. So now just got five more visitors.i live an hour away so if I would have not made up my mind at that time I would have had to make another appt. I was just there for 1 hour . It wasn't to bad ..

The six months go by REALLY fast! I started in April and finished this month. My surgery is October 11th. It went by so fast now I'm super anxious! My advice is make all of your appointments in advance and keep them! I went to the nutritionist the first Tuesday of every month. Good luck to you!

I wasn't required to so I didn't. My BMI was also on the low side so I didn't want to drop or I wouldn't qualify. I maintained the same weight (fluctuating five pound) for six months.

      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. 🤞
