I am now super stoked...the office had told me last week that I was approved but yesterday in the mail I got my approval letter from the insurance company and the big info packet from the surgeon's office. I can finally relax and know that I am set to go and Feb 13 is going to really happen! I can't thank you guys on here for all the support and advice, it's been amazing and am so glad I found this place.

Congratulations on your insurance approval. You must have some great insurance as mine denied me immediately.....thus the trip to Mexico. I think that you will never regret your decision and the new life that awaits. I know that my confidence and self esteem have increased in just the month since I had surgery and lost 30 pounds. I know how high you feel right now but this will be nothing compared to how you feel a few months after your surgery. Again congratulations and keep us posted.

Congrats!! My insurance came back in just 10 days! I was shocked also.. Get your mind set different now because the ball game changes alot after surgery for the positive. You go from the the pressure of "wanting" it so bad to the "reality" of making your life the best it can be... I'm 4 weeks out and down 25 pounds!! I'm on cloud nine and can not wait for the rest of the journey.. My BMI of 35 was right at the cut off for my insurance so I was really worried..

Take care and good luck

Hello all, I am new to this site. I just started my journey here in New Orleans and I couldn't be happier. I began my 6 month diet last week and I am well on my way. Any advice is welcome.

      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.
