Do you have a date yet?

I'm hoping to talk about surgery dates tomorrow. Keeping my fingers crossed to have it before the end of the year.

The psych eval was the easy part for me. You'll do just fine. Good luck!

Looks like my date is 12/11! I have to say that choosing BCBS Federal was the best decision I made! They have been fantastic!

Ok another snag. I have gained weight over the past year. At some time in 2012 I went to my PCP and I weighed 226. My surgical doc appt I weighed 265. Two days later I went to My PCP because I was having headaches. I weighed 257. Come to find out my BP was up and he put me on medication and the headaches have subsided. My next NUT appt I weighed 249 and yesterday at my last NUT appointment I weighed 243. My problem is when I seen my PCP for the headaches they didn't record my weight in the chart. It says I weighed 226. When we submit to insurance I'm sure they will wonder how I lost 40 lbs in two days and then gained nearly 30 back in a week. We have to use that record when we submit because it's the only one with my height listed and my high BP. I don't really know what to do. I am going to try to go to my PCP tomorrow and have them correct the record before we submit.

I would definitely go back to your PCP for the correct information. But the surgical doctor's weight should be the one that counts for 2012. Good luck!

        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.

      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
