Good Luck keep me posted when you set a date. We're still waiting for the final insurance approval.

I think it will be August for me too. This is a revision for me from the lapband. I was going to wait for the province to pay - but it could take years - so I am off the Mexico myself, spoke to the Canadian lady this afternoon - and I have requested August - so finger and toes crossed!

That's awesome! My husband and I both are having it done! I think it will be wonderful to have someone to support you that knows exactly what you are going through. He is going first and then I'm going two weeks later. I can't wait for the chance for new begginings. My BMI is 51 and I weigh 321 lbs. So I have a lot to lose. But looking forward to the journey of my life. I hope we can stay in touch!

I hope my date doesn't change.. Had my pre-op testing yesterday and the EKG was abnormal so instead of going on vacation today, I spent several hours waiting to see the cardiologist for clearance... and I still have to go back tomorrow for testing! Now I'm worried I won't get to go on vacation or get my surgery. Fingers crossed tomorrow's test is all I have to do and everything will be back on track.

      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
