Anyone from Vermont....?



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am going through the process in Vermont and wondering if anyone else is?

It is a 6th month process so the office won't even be able to send it into the insuranc company until September, it seems so long?

I am from South Burlington Vermont. I was sleeved December 16th so it has been almost 5 months. I started at 309 last March and am at 200 today. I would love to be at around 140 when finished. I have been in a stale for around 3 weeks but I hear that happens. I started at a size 22-24 and am now a 14-16.

Great success! Your stall will end! Who was your doctor? I'm assuming you went to FAHC.

I'm also from Vermont. Can't afford the $47,000 dollars so I'm going to Mexico with Dr Rams Kelly. Have my upper GI endoscopy and baring test on 6/25 at FAHC and results on 6/27.

      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. 🤞
