I've been lurking on here a few days since I downloaded the app and I want this surgery soooo bad!!! Anyway, Dr. Ramos Kelly's site is showing a price decrease right now for vsg for $4500. I just applied for financing online. Prayers please I don't get denied. And if I do get the financing, that my husband won't blow a gasket that I 'made a bill'. He's a freak with finances. But I feel I am slowly dying. I need something to hope for!!! I'm ready for this!!!

Prayers are being sent your way. I hope all goes well the financing for you. I just paid for mine here in the states and it is a bit pricey as I have no insurance.

But as with you I felt the same way that I am/was slowly dying and I am to young for that so this is well worth it to me. I go in for mine on May 3rd and I can hardly wait for a new me to start.

Good Luck

My insurance doesn't either, and going out of the country is my only option due to funds. Thanks you and good luck to you! It's so hard living like this!

Thank you she is 7 this year and is a wonderful girl. She lives with 5 other dogs all ranging from 7 pounds to 100 pounds. My doctor just put me on a 3 week liquid diet So glad the Protein Shakes takes good and are a little thick.

3 weeks liquid? I think the preop diet scares me worse than the rest of it! If I'm able to get it I'll have to get some opinions on products! Good luck and prayers going up for you. Keep me posted on your progress!

The pre-op diet is the hardest thing you will ever do in your life. I'm on day 10 of mine, and my surgery is friday April 20th. I've been dying to have a pizza hot pocket!! lol but i know that my old way of thinking has to die, and my new life has to begin.. and if you just keep your self busy and stay focused and positive you will make it through no problem... prayers for your financing and good luck. don't forget - anybody can do it, if LukkiDuzIt

I had my surgery by Dr. Kelly on March 29 and Payed 5000 . You should be able to find there direct number on here some where because he is cordinating threw hisself he hired Omar to do that for him . I would use him again i had no problems at all so far. No real pain just gas but the next day after surgery that was gone. Not sure how high your bmi is but i was on a liquid diet 3 days before surgery . But i took it upon my self to try to diet 2 weeks before sugery. I lost 10 pounds preop and have lost 20 postop. Good luck to you in you search. Alos i sugest to find a Protein Drink that u like i love choclate Unjury i also tried one from Walmart but it was awful.

Try this go to the section "Any May Sleevers Yet" and go to page 2, it is a very long note.

Hope this works

        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
