Recommended Posts

I just wanted to follow up, I got approved yesterday. It has been a little confusing, because I feel nervous rather than happy. but, I am sure that is normal. I know my life is going to change in a big positive way and i am happy about that . I am looking up how I can start a video blog. so i will provide the link once it is up. Thank you for those who answered my questions and have provided positive encouragement. I start the prep op diet on September 22nd.

Congratulations on your insurance approval! My paper work was finally faxed today. I am super nervous, I think the waiting is the worst part. I would love to watch your vlogs. I am on YouTube and my channel name is ilovemygoldens1.

GRATZ! Yes u will feel nervous. When I went through it.. it felt like being at the top of a roller coaster ride waiting for the big drop. Scary and ecxciting all at the same time. Now I am fighting the head hunger demons. You will do fine.

Congratulations! I'm sure I will be nervous too when the time comes. It is a big step, but it will be for the better.

I have Aetna too. Did you do the 3 month PCP supervised diet? If yes, how many visits/charts did Aetna require from your PCP? I am trying to figure out if my very first visit will count which will make it a 2 month period, not a 3.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
