I just checked with my doctors office and found out I'm approved by the insurance so they'll call me in a few days and schedule everything.

I just wanted to keep everybody informed. :-)

I just got a deferral letter stating they cant make a decision yet because they did not get any medical history, pertinent diagnostics, treatment/outcome of treatment on me. So angry at this piont. I will be at my PCP office today...

wow! that's really great news :) glad you got approved.. you must be so excited?!

Yeah, but it's a tough call. I have just lost 15 pounds on my own, and my wife would rather I just do it on my own.

But, I have been down this road before, and I know that no matter how much I lose (I have lost over 100# on my own before), I won't be able to keep it off.

So, yeah, I'm excited :).

Aww.. I know your situation.. I have loss weight just about 100 pounds too.. and gained it back.. loss 10-20 pounds after that and gained it all back too.. I think the sleeve is a great idea for us :)

my kids and hubby feel the same as your wife.. but I'm sure they will stand by our sides with our final decision :)

      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.
