I'm scheduled for 8-13! Excited, but then I also found out that I've lost my job effective 8-6 so insurance is only going to only last until November then I'm on my own. Have been checking out the cost of insurance and not sure if it would just be cheaper to pay for the follow up appointments (scheduled for a year out) on my own or buy the insurance!! This is added stress that I don't need right now!! LOL

Hi everyone!!! I just got the call to schedule my pre-admissions testing for next week. It feels so surreal! 8/12 will be here in no time.

Good luck to everyone who has started their pre-op diet!!! Keep pushing!

August here we come.... :-)

So sorry about your job :(....at least you have insurance through the month!! Look into COBRA--it's expensive, but at least you could keep your same coverage. Good luck to you!!

I am soooo hungry right now. I have my pre-op appt tomorrow and get sleeved on August 5th. I hope I can make it. These Protein Drinks are not makin it. I'm good til about 2:00 then I'm hungry.

I'm starting my pre-op diet on Friday and also getting sleeved on the 5th. I know how you feel with the Protein Shakes, I'm gonna need more! Lol! I've tried a few sample shakes and added unsweetened almond milk and it made the shake a bit thicker. I'm also going to try mixing orange with chocolate. Good luck to you :)

Yes Ma'am. I agree with that. I believe it is a health walk every Thursday 7pm at Inglenook Park on 12 mile.

        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
