It went super quick! Only took 3 months for all my appointments and insurance approval; but I was busting a$$ fitting in every little appointment haha

I'm kinda nervous just because it came so quickly and it took me off guard.

lol yeah, something always happens where I have to reschedule appointments and appointments are always at last a month apart... extremele frustrating but I know it'll give me time to work out and lose these 20 lbs.. I'm excited about hearing about what happens after surgery so keep me posted

I usually have no problem either!! But because when you have surgery they blow you up with gas it's a bit harder since the gas isn't actually in your stomach, getting frustrating and the gas pain in sore

I'm 26; fighting my way through this process; I'm pre op; but if u every wanna talk; u can message me; I have 4 nutritional visits remaining then I'm done; I see that a lot of ppl have to lose weight for insurance approval; I'm the exact opposite; I'm encouraged to not lose any weight; because insurance may deny my claim; if u don't mind those who have to lose weight what insurance do you have?

I have kaiser insurance and the reason I have to lose weight is so that my dr has more room to see ... They showed us videos and the stomach fat makes it too crowded in there lol

I'm 27. I appreciate everyone referring to ourselves as "youngsters" because 30 is creeping up on me and I feel anything but young. Haha.

I had the surgery back in January and its 100% the best decision I ever made. Good luck with your process and keep us posted! Feel free to add me as a friend or message me if you have any questions. It's only been 6 months since surgery but I can assure you I have been through it ALL. Haha.

      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.
