Recommended Posts

I have been approved now I am nervous as crap thinking hey this is really going to happen . I was so anxious calling BCBS asking about my approval then today they said YOU HAVE BEEN APPROVED and now I am like wow. I did everything in less than a month all the way from consult to approval I was determined. I look forward to becoming healthier but I am not sure why so many emotions. I am suppose to find out my surgery date this Friday. My emotions is starting to take over a brand new me with bad nerves right now.

Hello,

I am new as well and I will be having my gastric sleeve on Thursday, September 26th. I'm feeling mixed emotions as well. I'm excited at what the future holds for me, but I am very nervous about the surgery itself. This is such a huge step and one I have waited a long time for. I'm 5'3" and 270lbs. I look forward to seeing a new me at about 135???? One can only hope. I wish you all the luck on your new journey. We can do 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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
