Hello' date=' I'm Kailie.. I'm 25 I live in Michigan and I've been heavy my entire life! Have 2 children a girl 6yrs and a boy 1yr. I am 5'8" and currently 345lbs. I also battle PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrome) I attended my first seminar last night where the surgeon who gave the presentation only made me want the sleeve even more! He said more and more insurance companies are approving the sleeve!! Lord help me, I hope mine will!!![/quote']

Hi, we have the same stats or pretty close, I an 5'8 and weigh 330. I know what you mean, I attended my seminar in Feb and have been doing everything I had to do since then a far a records, tests, cpap compliance reports etc....just got my approval today (after a one day appeal)!!! Good luck, I look forward to following your journey! I am in Tampa, where are you?

Hi, I was denied on Monday, filed my appeal yesterday and got approved today!!! I submitted a letter and a picture of me explaining why I want and need this surgery, some info about me, stressing my determination to do this and NOT fail. I also attached all of the medical records from the last six months....and it worked!! Hang in there, don't delay unless you have to for some reason...

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
