I finally received my final approval--finally! :cheer2: :humble::peace: :roll:

I am scheduled for surgery for June 6th and was on my pre-op diet on my surgeon's insistance. He said he would get my surgery done and that was that! What do ya know?--a surgeon that says what he means?!!B)

I feel like a real "Jewel of June"--not just a wannabe or fake costume jewelry :D !!

Look out world! The Jewels of June are heading your way!!!!!:car:

I think rather than "quick" it was "last minute". I started down this path in Feb.

I didn't know I could hold my breath this long!!!! Thank you for the good wishes.

I'm excited and freaked at the same time. At this point the 6th can't get here fast enough so I don't have to drink these sweet drinks for awhile. I love something sour.

I'm down about 4-5 pounds. :cheer2:

I will be in NYC on the day of your surgery . I am taking my daughter and her family to "see the dinosaurs". My three year old grandson is crazy about them, so before I get into that "tired" stage after surgery, I am taking them on my daughter's birthday.

:car:

I will think of you ofter during the day, I am sure. I'll be with you--only a whisper away.:amen:

Good luck staying on the pre-op this weekend. You didn't come this far to blow it now!:boxing:

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
