Wooohooo, I was approved. I am so happy :) I think my date is 10/11, at least that is what it says on the health insurance screen where it says approved. Yippeeeeeee!!!!! Oh I have waited so long for this, I can't believe it.

Congratulations!!! I remember how excited I was when I got my approval. Your date will be here before you know it. 1 tip that I can give you would be to "clean out your pantry" before your surgery. Get rid of the bad junk food now. Depending on what type of post-op diet your doctor has you on, at first you might be only liquids and you aren't going to want your "old" favorites staring you in the face. Especially once you move to the soft/mushy stage of eating. This is fantastic tool that we've all gotten, but it doesn't fix the mind.

Good luck and WELCOME!!!

Thanks everyone, It feels surreal still.

Yes I have been reading since I started my journey, so hopefully I am ready, I can feel it in my heart that I'm ready.

I have to start the clean out and I already started getting the things I need for post op minus the Protein shakes since I have been reading that some peoples tastes change so I will see what happens with me. I do have the unjury starter kit, and the Isopure grape and fruit punch for the Clear Liquids phase. My date has changed since this morning to 10/18, my surgeon only does sleeves at a certain hospital so it had to be changed.

Thank you so much everyone for being here, I can't wait to see you on the losers bench.( I couldn't wait to say that!!!) :D

Oh and my doctor doesn't do a pre op diet so I will just watch what I eat and go to the gym to prepare.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      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.
