January 2013 Sleevers?



Recommended Posts

My target is January. The girl who runs things for my doctor told me that once I get all my pre-op checks done (EGD, NUT, etc.), that's when they submit. She said insurance has up to 45 days to respond, but usually do so within 7-10. I think I'll have everything taken care of by mid-December, so January is doable.

I have no date yet, and haven't been approved either. I hope they do. I want this life change so badly.

Just scheduled my surgery for January 14, 2013...I was planning on before the end of the year, but it didn't work out that way. I know January is just right around the corner...but it feels so far away!!

So glad someone started a January thread!! Makes me feel like it's getting closer and closer! :) My surgery is scheduled for January 22nd and I'm counting down the days to the start of my pre-op diet on January 8th. I love the holidays but I'm finding myself wishing they would all just be over so I can get my sleeve and start my new life! So excited! Hope the next couple months go by fast, fun, and easy for all my fellow January sleevers!!

January is a good time. Bring in the new year and be able to keep that resolutuion. All the holiday eating is done and you will neet out of pocket all in Jan meaning insurance should pay 100 percent of all medical for the remainder of the year for all the follow ups. Lots of upside to Jan. :)

Hello everyone!! I just signed up today!! I'm so glad I found this, I need all the support I can get. My last pre-op visit is next month so I will be getting sleeved in January 2013!! I'm so excited, nervous and a bit scared, but overall very happy with my decision. I look forward to interact with everyone on here!! :-)

I will be finishing my 3 month pre-op program at the beginning of December. So I should be sleeved sometime in January as long as my insurance approves :rolleyes: I was looking for a Jan 2013 forum, but it's not out there yet. We need one!

I'm in the St. Louis area and Dr. Richardson from the New Start program will be doing my surgery. I can't wait!!! :D

First Post here. Went for first visit to the doctor and have started the process. Have psycological visit tomorrow. Hope to have all done and insurance approval for surgery first of January. Been in this body for 56 years and look for new lease on life so I can live long enough to see my daughter married and hopefully my grandkids born and married.

      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.
