Next step going back to the nutritionist next week after a month of pre op dieting. I've lost all of 2 lbs :(. I'm lost bc it's discouraging with only losing such little weight. Anyone know what the steps are after meeting with the biaritrac nurse? Wondering what my time line is to get this ish done! Also they haven't even started the process with my insurance though I don't think I will have a prob I only need to obtain a PA and already saw my Pcp and received referrals

Your looking at it in the wrong way.. two pounds gone is still two pounds gone.. it's a win.. you have to start taking the small wins and relize that they are still wins in the end.. as for the timeline.. I'm not sure.. I'm still pre-op myself.. guess I just wanted to chime in and say congrats on the two pounds!!

Sometimes its easier to lose when your BMI is higher. I have lost 6lbs and I am on day 4 of my two week pre-op diet. I started in May and got appoved in July. I only had to have 3 visits with my NUT and 2 surgeon consults. All tests and labs done in between. Scheduled for July 29th. They prob won't submit till you are close to your last NUT visit. At least mines didn't.

I have had my phyc eval, and my upper GI. The last two things that I have to do is meet my surgeon (I go on August 1st..) and then get my EKG done.. then hopefully I will have a surgery date.. ** fingers and toes crossed**

Is there a minimum amount of weigh You have to loss during pre-op. cause I am slowly dropping and may only lose 8-10 pound before surgery. I hope that won't be a factor.

      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. 🤞
