I have a weird sleeping pattern.

I am a self pay and will be having surgery this coming Monday... I am excited! But it's hard to believe that this is about to happen. I keep thinking that something will happen, preventing me if having surgery.

Did they give you an estimated time on when will they get an answer? I hope it goes through with flying colors. Unless your going through this I couldn't imagine anyone understanding the nervousness and excitement one feels. Good luck and I hope it goes well :-)

I keep trying to calm my mind, but I can't. I think part of the reason is that I have always been bigger than others and eventually I found myself being obese. So to have this surgery which will help me get this weight off and become a normal weight again is mind boggling. But I am excited to start this next chapter of my life.

I think this is exactly what you needed. Its never too late to start. I was always in shape until I had my son..then fell in love. It made me comfortable to the point that i would eat because i was happy...Total emotional eater. So yeah, back to you. This might be nerve wrecking now...once your on the other side on your way to a skinnier you...your not gonna want to ever go back. To live...is too feel happy with who you are and to allow yourself to be human...your nervousness is totally understandable ...you have the right to be. I know i can't wait to hopefulllyyyy get approved...if i do...it'll be one of the happiest days of my life...well umm no..after.the surgery I'll be completely happy.

I can only imagine how your weight gain has impacted you since you were in shape before. My insurance does offer the surgery, but my employer has a ridiculous stipulation that must occur before getting it... Being with the company for 5 years. So I am going to MX to have my surgery done for a fraction of the cost. Never thought I would be on that boat, but surprisingly some of the surgeons performs these procedure more than US doctors.

Lol... I think that's the response i get when I tell someone I am going to MX... Lol I know I know... Well at least he's not performing my procedure in his nasty garage, I payed for the couch hey hey. Only kidding.

Yes, I have researched those things. Statistical information is great, but customer testimonies are way better. I am using a Doctor that many people on this forum uses, the hospital is small but surpasses that of a US hospital ( so ppl say), he does countless procedures and is certified to do so ( no black market), also the hotel I will be staying in when I get released from the hospital is a Marriott...

      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.
