My name is Amanda. I'm gearing up for a November sleeve. After an appointment on Saturday, the NUT said she'd have the insurance coordinator begin preparing my packet, then she would attach her final notes after my appointment on November 5 so everything could be submitted to insurance same day. My BMI was 41.1 at the initial surgical consult, and it's been hovering at 40 and change since, so I'm hoping Cigna will give me a quick approval. Following that appointment, she's given me the green light to work on losing so that she can make the case with the surgeon to shorten my pre-op diet from two weeks to one week. If things go as she's indicating they might, I believe I'll be sleeved before the end of November, Just so ready to get this show on the road!!

      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.
