I'm set for Jan 9 provided my insurance approves it! My paper work was sent in on Dec 4 and I am still waiting to hear from them. I hope they hurry soon I don't want to go thru the preop diet for nothing.

You have been waiting since December 4th? Has your surgeon's office called to get an update or least confirmed that your insurance got your request? I used to work with medical insurance companies. Might want to check on things and make sure no one has dropped the ball.

My pre-op was EKG,Pulmonary Test which was kind of difficult to me,labs&EDG and my last appointment before surgery on the 7th is with anesthesia on the 4th.Why do I have to see anesthesia before surgery if anyone know?

You need to see anesthesia before surgery so they can assess you themselves to determine the best type of anesthesia specifically for you. A lot of the tests are done to determine that, what your lungs are capable of handling, etc. sometimes the anesthesia is harder on the body than the surgery is lol. Very important

I haven't been told as of yet, but I'm hoping to take 3 weeks off..I just want to make sure I'm comfortable to go back. I'll figure out for sure Tuesday

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        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
