Well of it makes ya feel better I went to my seminar end of April. Had a consultation may 4. Saw the psychologist following Sunday. Had my preop the following wednesday and now my surgery is this Wednesday. It was fast an good process although I didn't go through insurance.

Hopefully mine will be that quick an easy! I am not sure if I will be going through insurance or not, I am not sure they will cover it but I am going to try that way first. If not then I will be self pay

I too am in my twenties and I know exactly how you feel:( I feel like im wasting all my "hott" years! Hopefully I have good genes and I will be hott up in my 60's! When I get this sleeve I'll certainly be healthier and that will help!:) I am going to self-pay as well, my insurance covers it but my bmi is on the low side so I am having to self pay. I get my surgery date June 5th!

Honestly it all depends on the person my aunt was a good 300 barely any loose skin and another young girl was about 250 and she had a lot of it. All depends on your genetics I think. If you have good healthy skin I think you will be fine. I tanned a lot so idk if I stand a chance. But your skin is just another organ and in time it can shrink to fit your body. Don't get discourage right away it takes about 2 years to see how it's going to really look.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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.

      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
