Hey everyone!! I am so glad to be able to post again finally. Had some surgery to remove some tumors and it has been a lil bumpy healing wise. Been crazy busy trying to catch up on school and doing family stuff. How is everyone doing?? I would love an update on yall's jouneys so far. I have been approved!! I also have a surgery date of April 2nd, so I am verrrry excited to say the least. It has been a nervous journey with the insurance, but it was all for nothing...I was approved in only 2 days!!! All I can say is that I was blessed with some great reviewers! Must've been all that love since it was so close to Valentine's Day. lol I am going to be busy some more with a couple of reports to get done before surgery, but I look forward to hearing from everybody. I will be starting the yucky Protein diet soon....I'll need help to make it through that Im sure! lol

God Bless and Yall Take Care!!!

Hi Louisiana Sleevers! I'm Beth and I just made the decision to go ahead with the sleeve. I went through the 6 months with the dietician for insurance purposes and I almost chickened out, but I'm ready now! I'm so excited about this change in my life. Although I'm struggling with "last meal" syndrome where I think every meal right now is my last one, I'm trying to combat the urges. I do have a question, how do your docs feel about sugar free snowballs? I just had one today and it was icy and sweet and cool going down. I imagine that it might work well (unless there are hidden calories and sugar that I am not aware of).

hi everyone. this is my first post. sleeved on july 2 2012. i' ve lost 16 lbs. so far and i m doing great. I' m finally getting more energy and starting to get excited about my life again and all my new possibilities, i ve started eating some Protein now per my NUTS advise, but to be honest, for me, the thrill is gone. you know how LA. folks love to eat :) , so eating now is pretty boring. the whole experience is more like a chore. I guess there more to life than food anyway,lol.

      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.
