I was so excited about starting my journey some time this month but today I received a call from the place where I will be having and they finally explain the process that the doctor first has to look through all my lab work to see if I am a candidate, once that's complete she will send it to be approve for surgery. Here I am thinking I was finally getting closer to my surgery and it's going to take any where from 2-6 weeks. :-( just wanted to vent my frustrations!

Hang on in there it will come sooner than you think. Sometime you have to jump all the huddles to get to the finish line. I have been waiting since Oct. 2010 and finally I will get my day at the end of April.

Even though I understand how you feel but it will get better and the days will fly bye quickly. And we will be sleeved.

Thank you for those kind words they mention probably getting sleeve in April and maybe we can be sleeve buddies :-)

I am in the starting process and I wanted this done like yesterday! I am so very impatient! But I guess I have no choice but to wait :( So I know how you feel!

I think most of us kow how you feel, but think of the others who have been actively pursuing their goal for more than a year or more. It takes time, but it's easier said than done. Patience isn't one of my virtues either!

Thanks and your right I remember in September they told me I had to go through the six month regiment with my primary doctor and how quickly that happen, now just a few more weeks, the point is that I'm going in the right direction.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
