Hey everyone, I am hoping for a June date as well! I'm currently going through my 3 month supervised diet, my last appointment will be May 23rd, then my Psych eval is on the 24th then they submit the paperwork to BCBS Federal... I am constantly praying I get approved. This site has helped sooooo much!

Hi Everyone!

I'm hoping for a June date also, I'm a teacher and this works better with my schedule. I completed my initial exam, psych eval and ultrasound last week. I have a pulmonary scheduled for mid April. My file was sent to bcbs yesterday, so keep your fingers crossed! I started a medically managed weight loss program on my own this week to prepare myself for the lifestyle change. The hospital I'm working with Alexian brothers has a surgical and non surgical weight management division. Let's support each other!

Hello all! I'm scheduled for a band to sleeve revision on 6/10. It seems like so far away! I've already done my sleep study (no apnea) and EGD (no problems found) so just have to do a cardiac clearance and nutrition class at the end of May. I'm soo ready to do this!!

Hello Group

I'm new to the group and I am very excited to report that I will be sleeved June 3, 2013! I have already done the pysch eval, got the cardiac clearence, done 2 of my 3 nutrionist appointments, endoscopy scheduled this friday and then I'm ready to go. I have to say tho, I did schedule myself some appointments with my pysch. outside of the sleeve because I have done ALOT of research and I am very worried about the addiction transfer. I am glad I found this group because its really nice to be able to read stories from people going thru your same struggles. Thank you all and good luck, see u on the LOSERS bench!!!!!!!!!

      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
