Finally Have a Date



Recommended Posts

I Finally have a date after two years of fighting with my pcp and my insurance I will be getting sleeved Nov. 8th:lol0::biggrin0::lol0: I'm so excited that this is finally going to happen this time, I'm having my stomach scoped next Friday has anyone had this done if so how did you feel after the procedure?? My surgeon was not happy that I gained weight, I know I can lose the 7lbs before surgery my explanation was working out with my trainer turned fat into muscle it has been 3 months since getting approved by insurance company he said that is no excuse I was so happy to get a date to argue with him.

Nov. 8th then I can start my weight loss journey:svengo::)

Hello!

I had the stomach examination done and it was quite easy. All they do is run an IV, put you to sleep, and they wake you up! They monitor you for a while. My throat was kind of scratchy for a couple of days. But other than that, smooth sailing! Congrats on your date! The best is yet to come! I'm still going through Aetna's requirements. Next month will be my last month. I hope everything goes smooth. Good Luck!

Congrats on getting your date. The scope is a breeze you may have a scratchy throat after for a day or two but that should be it. I'm finally being sleeved on the 13th and can't wait to start my new journey.:001_smile:

Wow Yolanda! That is GREAT news! I don't think I could have stuck with it that long but it will be well worth the battle. And you can definitely lose those few extra pounds before surgery with a low carb diet. I lost 15 pounds in about 2 and 1/2 weeks preop eating any Proteins I wanted. Good luck with everything and keep us up to date on your progress.

      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. 🤞
