Its My Turn....the New Me! Pics!



Recommended Posts

I started this journey a couple months ago. Hit a speed bump when my first mammogram showed a grape size mass. Had a biopsy its benign thank the good Lord. My mom died from it and my grandpa had it too. I need this weight off for my health and my families too. Had my surgical consult. My psych eval is scheduled as is my swallow study and fitness and nutritionist. I am blessed to have UHC on a low deductible and they cover it all at 80/20 with oop max at 1750$. Waiting is the tough part, all visits will be done by next week as will the closing of the short sale on my home. Damn what a year it has been and 2013 will start me off as a new woman! Comments support are welcome as I take this scarry road. Luckily I have a loving husband and beautiful 4 year old daughter.Congrats to us all on this journey"

Hi newbie I am hoping to be sleeved in November! I just a barium swallow done today! It truly was the most disgusting thing I have ever drank! I did awesome they said too! They have never had someone drink both cups so fast and keep it down. Once again my determination is boiling over. I had this done because I had an endoscopy done last year due to polyps in my stomach causing me severe pain. I really cannot to meet my bariatric coordinator on Monday and accomplish the psych eval and fitness visit next Thursday. Then all that's left is my nutritionist and we submit to insurancr for the pre certification! Smooth sailing is ahead and I am pumped! Thanks to all watching this thread and caring. Support is keeping me motivated as well as a brighter future free from the restraint of this weight! I can conquer the world without it! You will all bear witness! BTW my name is Tiffany!

        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
