So, I was scheduled for March 8th with Dr. Lopez, and I had to cancel my surgery due to lack of $$$. I've applied for 2 loans and both no luck. I'm going to have to use the money from my tax return to fix my car that decided to break down on me :( this sucks.

I feel so bad for you. If only we were all just wealthy and didn't ever have that stress. Keep your attitude positive and here's hoping that everything lines up so you can get it done sooner than later.

Whatever happened to the new in house financing the r4ac offers?

I don't think they have that... I think they go through other companies too. Which would still require a consigner. When I applied for my loan at my bank, I even put my car up for collateral and still nothing... :(

Sorry this has happened to you. I was supposed to be sleeved October 16th but had money problems, then my date was November 11th but money troubles weren't sorted yet. Finally I was sleeved 2 days ago!

I hope you get a new date too

Thank you everyone! I'm going to save whatever money I have left out of my tax return after fixing my car and try to put away $4-500 a month. Hopefully by summer I will have a new date :)

Jesser I know how you feel, I also went with Ready 4 a Change, I had to push my surgery from feb 8th to feb 25th, now I may have to push a little farther out :-( I also contacted ready 4 a change about that program Ed mentioned and Alma said they aren't doing it. So frustrating!

        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
