Hey guys. I'm in Lee's Summit. I'm still in the 6-visit pre-sugery for insurance approval stage and have 3 visits down and 3 to go. For years my PCP, Dr. Cheray, pushed to have bariatric surgery, but I was A) scared of it and B) wanted to have the success on my own. And for years I struggled with weight loss on my own. Finally I talked to my Dr on my own terms and he was very happy with my decision. He referred me to Dr. Drahota and I will be having the sleeve hopefully in April or May after my 6th visit. I am very excited to be the me I was supposed to be, and have a life changing experience. I know I'm still ways off from being a sleever in KC, but I still wanted to say hi and congrats to those who have already had success.

      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.
