Final appointment with Dr went great! Found out ill have no restrictions afterwards. I can do whatever I want as soon as I feel like it. The nut said keep up with the liver reduction diet. Also I will also only have one night stay in the hospital.

Well that is wonderful news congratulations!! I went to my first meeting last night to find out that private pay will be $28,000.00 it's made me a little discouraged. I was hoping for less than $15,000.00. I've seen on this site some people say they have had this surgery for $9000.00. So on to plan B, I'm now calling dr.'s in other areas and states.

Yrs, I have insurance, but I'm getting such a run around I asked for a quote from all 3 hospitals in my area and that was my range. If I felt better bout it, I'd go to Mexico.

      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. 🤞
