I live in Maryland, but will be having my surgery in Washington, DC at Sibley Memorial Hospital which is under John Hopkins.

Anyone from this area?

The waiting is terrible!!!! I have an appointment on the 24th with Vanessa and then last appointment with Dr shin on the 23rd of October. How long did you have to wait for a surgery date after your last appointment weigh in.?

1st mtg with him Feb 8, everything was done by may 14, insurance denied based on need. My pcp suggested i appeal. I did they had 45 days. Decision was reversed on 7/19. Sent auth for coverage to him on 7/25. Went for prep on 7/26. Now five wks out.needless to say stayed on top of appointments and keeping logs, etc. It could'vebeen sooner w/out insurance issue. but it happened when it was supposed to.

So they more or less scheduled your pre op day after he got approval. See I am just curious how long I will have to wait after seeing him on the 23rd of October

      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.
