I'm in Ga but I haven't begun my process yet. Still researching doctors and what not.

That's fine... We all have to start somewhere... Mine began by trying to get insurance to cover it and you guessed it .insurance won't cover it for me.I finally made up my mind ... After months and months of researching to go to Mexico ..

Where in GA are youu??? Are you going through insurance or self pay ? I'm self pay and going to Mexico Like lots of other woman from this site... The sleeve is new here in the states but they been performing it in Mexico for years ... Good luck and you can PM me anytime.....

I'm in Georgia too. Instead of fighting with my insurance company, I've decided to go with a Dr. in Mexico. I'm self pay as well... I'm scheduled for July 1st. It'd be great to have someone to talk to with similar experiences. smile.gif

I am outside Atlanta, GA. I have been fighting with UHC for going on one year now! I am finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. UHC would not accept a support group that I attended for six months. I had to do the process over. This time I went with individual counseling for requirement.

I anticipate surgery in August (I hope sooner if possible). Please send me a message anytime.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
