Well, I'm still moving forward....met with my PCP today and he wrote my letter for the insurance company. Told me he thinks the sleeve is a good choice for me and he feels that I will do great with it :) I have two more appts with the bariatric center before they can submit for insurance approval. So, keeping fingers crossed!

My daughter and I both live in OKC. She was sleeved 7-1-10 and I was done 4-14-11. Best thing that ever happened to us. Have you already been sleeved or still anticipating? K

Who did your mod your daughters surgery. Have either of you had any complications

Well, honestly I'm probably not the best person to ask bc I'm really a big baby but the morphine pump they had me on in the hosp didn't work near as well as the liquid lortab I'm on now (had the pharmacy flavor it bc it's nasty!)

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
