Where Is Everyone From?

Nichole,

Don't I know it:) I started my process Jan. 5. My I insurance doesn't require all the bs some do. At my initial consultation I was told I'd be having surgery by March 1st. Because of waiting for Dr DiMarco I didn't have it until June 7th;) Is Dr Prashar one of his partners?

My insurance doesn't require much either. I think Dr. Prashar is a newer Dr to the WLC. But I met with him on Tuesday n he was very nice, explained everything so well n even told me things like how many procedures he has done. So I feel very confident with him. I am hoping that It won't be much longer till I'm approved n can get a surgery date. When did they give u a date?

I think it went: intake appt, meet with dr weiger, meet with dr DiMarco, nutrition appt. At the end of the nutrition appt they gave me a choice of 3 dates. I also got my first post op appt scheduled at that time. But that may have been because DiMarco is only in the office on Monday. I think I may have met Dr Prashar when I was discharged.

Before I moved to California I lived in Madison Heights. Not too far from Fraser!

A million years ago I had a boyfriend that lived in Fraser :)

I loved him he's very straight forward and tells it like it is. That's what I loved about him. When is your surgery date

I do not have one yet, but I am scheduled for all of my pre op stuff in the next two weeks. Nutrition on the 10th, Psych on the 18th, and endoscopy on the 25th! And then I guess insurance approval after that.

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
