I'm 21 days away from surgery but you would think it was tomorrow! Lots of racing thoughts, trying to make sure I have everything. Already imagining the hospital gown and how I need a robe to cover my behind, lol.

I am June 25. Super excited.

I will be doing my pre-op this week on the 8th, and my insurance Gilsbar has approved everything how long will I have to wait for the actual surgery date.

It seems to vary. Some surgeon's offices give a date immidiately while others seems to wait. I am not sure what the reason for the differences are. I had been approved for almost a week before I got my date.

I took BCBS about 10 days and then my surgery was scheduled immediately. Fingers crossed for you

Happy for you, I am still waiting for insurance approval. Don't know why it is taking so long. I have been waiting for three weeks as of today. I'm sure I could be sleeved in June. So upset right now. BCBS show me some love please.

      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. 🤞
