October Surgery Dates



Recommended Posts

My surgery is Officially October 9th. This whole process has been so quick and painless! My insurance company has been fantastic. My first surgeon appointment was September 10th' date=' I met with the dietician and psychologist that same day. My info was submitted to insurance September 13th and I was approved September 20th. Super exited and thankful timing worked as it did.these boards have been super helpful and I look forward to losing b with all of you![/quote']

I wish mine was painless LOL. Well it's been painless but just takes forever. I had to do the 6 months supervised diet and the way my insurance is it has to be consecutive so actually it's 7 months. I go on the 4th to pcp to get final weigh in

Saw my surgeon this morning and he says im doing great, & we both cant wait till the 8th, he says im the perfect canidate for this surgery. I love my surgeon he's really down to earth and very easy to talk to, and it's a added plus that he knows all of my other doctors so they all have been working well together to get my surgery on it's way. 11 days to go and I cant wait.:)

So I started to have a little panic attack today. It sounds silly but I'm kind of grieving over my favorites foods that I will no longer be able to eat. (chocolate and Mexican Food). I am way more excited about the surgery and all the positive benefits to my life. But also sad that I will be losing my Comfort foods. Anyone else having this feeling?

A little bit.... I start my self inflicted liquid diet tomorrow and can't decide if I want Chinese or chicken wing for my last solid lunch for 2 months.

I know it's not forever so that is helping with me reasoning with myself.

Chinese is good but a lot of sodium which will make you hold on to Fluid for days!! I know October 1st olive garden is opening up so on the 4th after my final weigh in my last supper will be there

Its been 7 years since I went there so really looking forward to it. I love the salad mainly. And I am not a drinker at all but when I went last time my aunt purchased a pitcher of some kind of wine with a bunch of real fruit in it. And that's what I am getting lol

I went with the Chinese food :) house special chicken and cream cheese wontons yummy!

Crab ragoons that's what we call the cheese wontons and they are my favorite. I love Chinese but the last couple times we ate there we got sick. So haven't been in a long long while

It was probably sangria that is usually red wine with fruit in it served over ice

      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.
