Just called the Dr.s office,, once the receptionist found out I was wanting to see what was going on she put me on hold, talked to someone(So she said) who told her to connect me to her voice mail,,,,and that said they would get back to me in 1-3 buisiness days,,,,,,,, I'm feeling a bit put off here.......

Wow...do you remember the persons name on the voice mail? If it was Cheryl, she is very good at getting back to you...I'm not sure if she does the scheduling for Dr. haag, though...It does kinda get you down when they do that...they did it to me twice!!

Hi MA Friends,

I haven't posted on this thread in a while! I was very sad that I couldn't make the get together at the mall. Hopefully next time.

I am doing well, slipping a lot lately though but not totally falling:cry

I can't believe how much better I feel about myself. I've gained back some of my confidence and self esteem. I can't believe it but I signed on to be an advisor for Lia Sophia. Really cool jewelry. I was a hostess and got lots of free stuff so I decided to try my hand at selling. I can't believe I'm going to stand in front of a room of women!!!!

Anyway, if any of you MA girls are interested in hosting a party, I would love do meet you!!

Everyone is doing so well, its exciting to read. Hope you all have a great week! Keep it up losers:biggrin1:

Embarassingly enough, I could not understand the receptionist that well, as she has a rather thick accent, and being as I do not deal with that on a day to day basis all I could pick out was she was transfering me to someones voice mail,,when I got the voice mail (I was at work) my 2 way radio started yammering, so I couldn't hear who it was:faint: ... I'm just sure if I did it from home my 3 & 4 year olds would have been "MUCH QUIETER"!!!!

      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.

      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.
