03.19.2013. Approved in less than 2 hours. Its been a long journey. I was approved at another hospital in Dec. And was supposed to meet the surgeon on Jan 30 to schedule surgery date and in Jan 17th I got a call saying they will no longer take my insurance. (After a year and 2 months with this process) Thank God I had seen my current surgeon as a back up. This is so surreal. Yaaa! Too many feelings: anxious scared happy etc etc

I am scheduled for March 11th. I am scared and very hopeful that this will be the turning point in my life. I am so tired of the weight and all of the challenges and problems associated with the weight. I am looking at it as a must do!

On the downward side now. Only six more days to the beginning of my new life. I can't wait. So excited. Can't come soon enough for me. I am sure my other March 7th sisters and brothers feel the same way. Here we go.

@Ashley, Hey girl, just sent you an email and FB add. I had already put that one on my bucket list, only I plan to do the half marathon, not the whole. I didn't even know the Princess offered a whole marathon. Anyway, add me please. I start training as soon as dr. releases me after surgery. I want that race as my goal. What an anniversary present, to all us March sleevers, huh? Count me in.

      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.
