So hoping to get my date on Monday. Just wondering where everyone 's weight is and what they are expecting?? I keep reading that BMI below 40 are slow losers? My Dic asked if I had a goal weight and I didn't know what to say?? I just said I don't want to have any joint pain, no more hypertension, swollen ankles, or the feeling of being humiliated in my clothes!

Current weight: 228

Height 5'4"

I keep hearing the same thing about low BMI slow losers!! Some wonderful people on this site have pointed out to me it's not a bad thing to lose slow, and maybe we will benefit from it in some ways. Good luck on getting a date tomorrow, let us know.

I am on the pre-op diet right now. Today is day 2. Yesterday was hard, but I did it. I won't get my date until I lose 50 pounds. I am 5'11" and weigh 435. I have heard that the more you have to lose, the faster you lose it.

I'm also 5'4 and weigh around 236 ish. I'm so hoping for a November date, but it depends on insurance approval. I have BC/BS of Alabama. I've heard they almost always deny on the first attempt, specially if you are on the edge with co-morbidities and BMI. So....I'm mainly hoping for a surgery date before the end of the year. My doc won't give me a date until he gets the insurance approval, then I have a 1-2 week pre op diet.

I have BCBS also and a secondary insurance. My Doc says it shouldn't be a problem to get approved. I do have a very large hiatal hernia. That is part if the reason I chose to go ahead with bariatric surgery. The repair for just hernia is brutal! I wish you luck and hope you get a fast approval. What weight did you Doc expect you to get to? Any range?

I know! I am excited to get this weight off! The start of my weight gain was fertility drugs! 45 pounds, 3 sets of drugs, and a surgery later I got pregnant. Lost weight in beginning of pregnancy and only had 3 positive pound weight gain. Over the years I had surgery for my gallbladder, appendix, stat csection, and 7 laparoscopic procedures for endometriosis. The final surgery my hysterectomy really added the weight! I just gave up! So tired of trying every diet and failing!! I exercise but I have so much belly fat from the hormones being imbalanced and scar tissue! Hoping to get this weight off and start running again! I am ready for my old self to come back!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

      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
