No, I haven't had the procedure yet. I have one more month of the supervised weightloss before the paperwork is submitted by my surgeon's office. I live in Alexandria and my doctor is in Lafayette. Where are you? Have you started the process yet?

Yes I've started the process , i live in covington and today I just got a call from my pcp that he was going to write my letter and after that I need a pysch eval. ... I did all my blood work , EKG , stress test ect but I don't have the six month supervised diet but the lady at my surgeon office that deal w the process said not worry about it .. And my insurance company does not require you to any health issue as long as your Bmi is 40 cus I don't have any besides a hiatal hernia and acid reflux do to that ..

It's sounds like your approval should be coming soon! I was told I had to do the 3 month supervised diet. The diet has been Meal Replacement shakes! This month I move to 2 shakes a day. Yuck! My last check in will be in June. I've had a gallbladder ultrasound, the psych eval, lab work, a sleep study, and the pre op EGD. My BMI is over 40 and I have hypertension, sleep apnea, and arthritis. The surgeon's office told me that the paperwork will be submitted to the insurer in June. Pray for me and I'll pray for you.

Everyone goes to Covington for surgery. Which one are you using?

I know what you mean about what people say. One of my friends said today that she's hoping I don't have the surgery!! What kind of crap is that?! I don't think I'm a bad looking woman and I've always been fairly confident. I just think that she might be afraid that if I lose enough weight, I will REALLY be the bomb!! Either way, I've decided to stop discussing the issue with her. She's kinda getting on my nerves!!

        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
