Congrats! Mine went fast too....had my first consult June 25 and getting sleeved tomorrow! I am glad I did research before the process because it probably would have been way too fast and overwhelming to cram it all in a month and a half! Good luck with everything!

Congratulations! :rolleyes:

My first consult was at the end of May. At first, my insurance required that we do the 6 months of nutrition classes. Then after a month, I was notified that they reduced it to 3 months.

I'm going September 20. It's all downhill now. My pre-op is the 7th, EGD on the 14th and surgery on the 20th. It's going so fast.

That's awesome!! congratulations! and that is great that they reduced the diet for you! under my insurance I didn't have to do the pre diet, I just had to have a 5 year history of obesity, ( um I've been fat my whole life easy peasy lol) be over the age of 21 ( I'm 24) and have a bmi of 40 or 35 with an ailment ( I have both lol ) and ( I'm on my dads insurance ) and they cover obesity. so I'm assuming that is why everything went so smoothly. But we're only getting sleeved 10 days apart! go us! lol Keep me updated for sure! ^_^

I know right?! I'm kinda in shock as of right now. because in a week and a couple days I'll be starting pre-op diet ( yay.. sarcasm) and then boom! On the tenth we're getting sleeved! It really is surreal. I'm happy and anxious all at the same time, how you feeling Mufasasmom? ^_^

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
