Only 2 Appointments Left!



Recommended Posts

It's so refreshing to have a site like this. to release, express and rejoice!! i am Tatyanah mom of my 2 year old beautiful Irieanah and proud wife!

today was an amazing day for me! my 5th dietician appointment and 2nd support group meeting was tonight!

i actually found out today that i have PRE diabetes and high cholesterol. something i've never had in my life. it's funny because my deitician read the comments from my PCP to me and it said....would prescribe meds but patient is getting bariatric surgery next month.

i couldn't be more ecstatic for my sleeve now that it's getting closer. i have two appointments left then..submitting to the insurance!!!!

im down another 3 pounds but still a LONG LONG way to go. the support group was really inspiring tonight too. we met a lady who lost over 100 pounds since last year! i got emotional watching her power point and hearing her story. she talked about her fears and how she harassed her surgeon (which happens to be mine as well) and how she knew all the risks before even getting surgery. which i'm sure we all do.

but its a risk i'm willing to take to feel healthy and confident and happy!!!

i got reassurance that my insurance (Husky A Connecticut-Medicaid) based on my bmi, and minor health issues and weight loss not drastric but still sufficient that i'll have no problem getting approved. don't want to get my hopes up but i'll keep the faith.

really excited to start my journey and my last dietician appointment is SEPTEMBER 5TH!!! everyone pray that this goes by fast for me:) ur all wicked supportive and love this site!!!!

The psych on September 6th and Pulmonary on the 12th- then I see my surgeon for the last time September 18th(Just a day after you!) and thats when I should get my date! Stay in touch because it looks like we'll be having surgery around the same time! :D

I agree. This group is fantastic. I found it purely by accident in the android store. I think it's so cool that I can get the same info on my android, iPad and laptop. I am patiently awaiting my surgery date and hoping the insurance gods are on my side. I am, what I call, "a very healthy fat person." No diabetes, high blood pressure or anything. Just 110 lbs over weight. I wish you the best of luck on your journey.

Hello Ladies! I just wanted to join you.... I'm on the same timeline. I have my last NUT appointment on September 6th. They will submit to insurance that week and I will hopefully know a couple of days later. I know my surgeon is booked for September, so I'm really hoping for an October surgery date. Getting super excited about this now that it's getting closer!!!!

My BMI was 40, I had no doubt because in my mind I figured the doctor wouldnt waste time on somebody that would not get approved. I started the process last aug, had a few stalls (personal and health) Last aug my only issue was being obese. Then we found out I had sleep apnea with in a month. I took time off to deal with the personal stuff. Got the ball rolling and they found out I had a problem with my adernal gland. Should of been sleeved the end of may but needed clearence from an endo. Only 2 in the state take husky (Yale and Uconn health) Uconn got me in right away. Once she cleared me my surgeons office submitted everything. I actually called the insurance company on the 7th and they said yes approved for the 14th! I guess the surgeon has to put a ghost date in and if it was still available it would be my date :-)

      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.
