September here I come!



Recommended Posts

I hear you. Now, I'm a nervous wreck because I don't know if insurance will cover me? Have to wait until August after my last RD visit to submit my case to insurance and then wait to see what the verdict is! But, yeah, I want this done yesterday!

Thanks! I started drinking 2 shakes a day with a low fat dinner and stepped up my exercise. Getting my mind right before surgery day.

I hope my surgery is in September. My final medically supervised diet appointment is the end of August and from what I hear, my insurance is pretty quick at approvals. I've completed all other requirements and my psyc appointment Aug 5th. I really hope the surgery happens the middle or end of September. :) My surgeon said as soon as we have insurance approval I will be put on the schedule for surgery pretty quick! I'm starting to get nervous/anxious but I made myself a list of all the reasons why I'm doing this and I have to keep reminding myself of these things.

I just got my date today and it is September 10th. I was hoping to do it in August but I had to work around work so September it is. I've been doing all the insurance hoops since January so an extra few weeks is okay. The reality is hitting me now so I'm pretty much a ball of nerves and self doubt right now.

I have September 19 in Tijuana Mexico with Dr. Louisianna Valenzuela. I am super excited. It is has been a long, tiresome road and I am so happy to be able to have this gift. A great tool to help me be the healthy person that has been waiting to come out. I hope to meet some of the other sleevers in Mexico. Can't wait to see everyone's pictures and hear your stories.

      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. 🤞
