It seems like I started this journey so long ago.

It has taken 9 months from Seminar to approval.

I am so happy, but still impatitent, can't wait for April 24th!! I start my pre op diet on the 11th.

I stocked up on my Protein and vitamins!!

Now to get my hospital bag ready and do my spring cleaning at my house!!

Congratulations! I just received my approval as well and am expecting a call this AM from the scheduler--- hopefully we'll get this done in the next couple of weeks.

The approval process was so long. I just thought that the insurance company would find some way to not approve me, but I worried about it for nothing.

Good luck to you on your surgery!

Yeah!! Congrats to you all. Isn't it so exciting, yet scary? I'm excited to finally get my Sleeve, but scary because I am losing my friend( food) and not sure if we will ever be cool with each other again

This is probably jusy fear of the unknown.

But it has come to this, I have to get a new friend, I hoping exercise will be my new friend!

@betterthanbefore,

Thank You!!!!

I thought maybe I was alone in my love affair with food. food has always been there for me, but now it's feels like it's not my friend in a way, it's an frenemy. I keep thinking... What if I try to eat my all time favorite and it makes me terribly ill. How will that make me feel. But then I tell myself, maybe that's a good thing. Then I read stories on here about "head hunger" I hope I don't get that. I'm going to try to really get gung ho about exercise and hope I go way too overboard with that, like I did with my food!

      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.
