Okay so I saw my doctor day are you going to class and and had already previously done the 6 month diet and it was supervised so at the end of the day meeting with the doctor the coordinator comes in to tell me that's because I missed the month of March I would have to redo my 6 month thankfully I have kept up with my doctor for the last 2 so they said that could be put towards my 6 month but I still have to do another 4. the thing that pisses me off the most is the fact that I work so hard for the 6 month and sent so much money to help me lose weight and now I can't even use it because I miss a month due to the death of my mother is not right I feel like crying. Sorry I just wanted to vent I've been looking so forward to meeting the doctor and getting all this stuff ready so I can do this surgery and get healthy because I missed month now I have to wait even longer. thank you to anybody who is listening.

I know you're frustrated right now but just don't give up. Unfortunately there probably isn't anything you can do you will have to do the extra 4 months. But use the progress you've made so far as motivation. In the big picture four months is nothing compaed to a lifetime of health. Don't stress about it, its a setback but it doesn't mean you have to fail or give up!

Thank you Teresa. I'm not giving up. It just makes me upset that I spent all this time and money for nothing.

I'm so sorry about your loss of your mother. I'm sure that it is heartbreaking to have this delay on top of everything else. My surgeon's office told us over and over again about not missing 1 month or having to start over (obviously it was out of your control in this case). One thing they recommended was to make each appointment early in the month, so if you needed to reschedule, you could still do so within the same calendar month. That might be something to try just to make sure you get the 6 months in.

No I know its not the Doctor. I think the insurance should have something where if u miss a month then u have to do just one month not having to do the whole thing over.

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
