Congrats!!! I was so happy they approved me too! What insurance do u have? Also if ur only 197 r u doing lapband or gastric? Gastric I thought was if ur at least 100lbs over weight?

Lets see if this itouch let's me write.

I started at 211lbs.. Yes you should be 100lbs over weight to get WLS but I'm getting it done. I don't want to be fat. I'm having breathing problems & back & knee problems. I don't wanna die. My doctor agree with my reasons & approved me for surgery. The therapist & nutritionist agree with me & my surgeon. They feel my mind is set & this is what done so they are approving me & I will get surgery done. I'm getting gastric bypass.

Unfortunately I have metroplus. It's a government insurance. Since I lost my job over 2 years ago. I had 1199 which was the best insurance ever. They pay for my teenager braces.

Thanks girl yes we are all on a journey to avoid or stop future damage on the body. Some ppl don't believe it but it's not healthy being under weight or over weight.

Hello I started April 30' date=' 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.[/quote']

      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. 🤞

      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.
