Recommended Posts

Me too. :(

If you are in Houston, we'll have to get together some time... It would be good to have someone to chat and hangout with who's going through this as well.

I was trying to figure out how to pay my remaining balance. I am scared if I get a money order or something it will get lost... Probably my nerves.

What company did you go threw? I know with Ready4Achange they have a Wells Fargo bank account that they will give info to make a deposit into.

That's great only issue with that for me is I don't have time to deposit it. So I'm just getting a Cashier check and I'll fill the rest out later. To insure it doesn't get lost ima keeping it in my pocket.

That's reasonable. I'm a little nervous about that too. That's y I kinda want to use my credit cards but I don't want to pay the service fee because I'm using more then on card. Plus I don't want that much in credit.

R4AC... I think I would rather do that. I am going to email my coordinator to get that information.

Thanks

I know! I just don't want anything going wrong... I don't have a Wells Fargo here, but I will just have to drive to one. I just don't feel comfortable carrying a check for that amount around. I get there at 9...it came by sooo fast!

How has your preop diet been. This full liquid might kick my tail!

It's doing okay I have little struggles here and there. But it turns out we weren't required to do a full liquid. Our paperwork says Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and a salad for dinner. I double checked with Alma days after starting and she said I didn't have to do full liquids. Just follow the plan and the day before surgery Clear Liquids with nothing to eat after mid night. I was so frustrated with that but decided to stick with the liquids it's not going to hurt anything.

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
