Sorry My itouch have been acting up lately...

My insurance have officially approve my surgery $20,000. My test for the heart (cardiology) came out excellent,my test for the stomach (endoscopy) excellent. All my blood work excellent. No cholesterol,no high blood pressure,no sugar. In fact I would be consider very healthly if not because I'm over weight.

More wonderful news. IDK how I did it but on Monday I was 199lbs therapist scale and today Wednesday I'm 197lbs. OMG!! I'm so happy so very happy... I just can't believe it. I'm dropping pounds like no tomorrow. I'm very happy extremely happy so very happy.. You can tell right? My surgeon is very happy I manage to lose weight on this diet. This is the best decision besides having kids that I done in my life.

Thankyou all for your support on my good times & bad times. Lots of love Maybelin

I sure wish a they cover plastic surgery/loose skin at least 40/50% That would make it better for my pocket.

That is wonderful! How long ago did you start the process?

Hello I started April 30, 2012 this diet. I heard of some people losing a lot,and other a little,but I have to have in mind that everyone is different,and as long as I'm losing weight,and not gaining that is all I care about.

If you want to know how long in total till my surgery day. I started March 2012 appointments,and blood test ect.. till April,and continue May,and now I'm more then ready to start a new life. Looking forward to May 30.

      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.
