The Search is Over!!!



Recommended Posts

After months... and Months... and MONTHS of searching for over a year a change. I finally found what i was looking for.

I was so ready to give up, but something deep inside told me, that progression is active and never stagnate.

I swear to everything i love, i was going to remain this chubby, insecure guy forever, but THIS, THIS right here was the light at the end of the tunnel for me.

i know a lot you are still curious and wondering what the hell i;m talking about, so let me tell you.

Today i found the FIRST doctor in over a year, that didnt turn me down. Not only does this doctor ACCEPT my insurance (Amerigroup=trash) but he ALSO started doing the surgery i longed for... the SLEEVE!. I spoke to him today and he was great. Taller than i expected but straight to the point to if or buts. His staff were also amazing. Even though I've done my research about the sleeve for over a year and change. They explained EVERYTHING with accurate details, so i was impressed because the other doctors that DIDNT accept my insurance but did the surgery, didnt know much or were fluent enough to break it down properly.

I don't want to get my hopes up or nothing but i havent even submitted the paper work to Amerigroup as of yet. Hopefully they approve and dont try to screw me over AGAIN for the millionth time.

I feel so relieved right now. Now i can start on my journey to become a SLEEVER!!!!

oh by the way the Dr. name is Gorecki!

      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
