I need a secretary!



Recommended Posts

Today I drove 45 minutes to have my psych eval only to find out that my appointment is actually Friday. My husband said (joked) this didn't bode well for my evaluation. :) I swore it was today, and I even called the psychiatrist to let her know I was waiting. She was ill today and had canceled everything. After I arrived back home and rechecked my paperwork, I realized I was the one who was wrong.

My doctor was supposed to fax my recommendation letter to my surgeon by today. My surgeon hadn't received it as of 1:30 today, but my doctor is saying it was faxed this morning.

I have this giant list of things to do and people to contact, and I feel like if I'm not careful I'm going to miss something.

Tomorrow I have to drive over an hour to attend a support group meeting.

I teach, so I'm not working 40 hours right now. If I was, I don't think I'd be able to get everything done and stay on track of everything.

I've been keeping all of my information in a file folder with multiple pockets. It seems to help, but I still screwed up this morning.

OMG that is so true!! You're making me wonder if they do that on purpose... :blink:

To the OP, the journey to get the sleeve or any WLS is pretty wacky. We all got through it though, and you will too. Just keep venting here, we'll get you through it.

go to cozi.com. This is a shared calendar, shopping list, etc.....My husband and I share it, so we both get set up reminders for appts and such. You can set a reminder for yourself or go to all family members. Every Sunday it sends me a list of all the appointments for the week. It has a grocery list that you can add to it while the other person is at the store. I even have my husband trained to put on his doctor appts as soon as they are made. I love it.

My iphone has really helped me with appts, I use the calender, notepad for grocery lists and to do stuff, and of course the myfitnesspal app.

      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. 🤞
