My biggest issue is having a MX only sections doesn't help US researchers. I was extremely limited in info when doing research on US surgeons.

Again, should be SURGEONS/LOCATIONS :D

And only the stateside people use it. I don't know why?

Or I should say WORLDWIDE SURGEONS/LOCATION since there's so many Aussies, NZ, India, Canadian patients. I guess just more organization is the key. Laura, get your whip out and mov'em ;)

Aw forget the Aussies they just cause problems anyway! :P

I think self pay is important in the title because I was just looking over the existing surgeon section and it pretty much talking about insurance, doctors and hospitals...

Wait a minute. This is all just a conversation and nothing else. This is just all suggestions going on for Alex to note. This isn't between any two or three people.. That's what the whole thread is about.

Good thought! Self pay are the biggest researchers. Although price isn't always a concern it should be included

Not really problems. We just like to stir the pot occasionally. Hey Laura, had a good cheeseburger lately?

Fasting? As in' date=' no food at all?[/quote']

No just 500 calories at 12 hours apart.. It's a two day a week thing I said I would try with some of the other girls :)

Wouldn't it be better to have 100 calories every 2 hours so that your metabolism doesn't go into shock. Still the same amount of calories but you will burn them faster.

Girl probably! I think that's what some of them are doing so I need to figure it out. they are following the 5:2 fasting diet, but I think they might be modifying it for our sleeves. So I just asked.

Sorry Alex way off topic :D

        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
