OMG' date=' Why didn't she ask you to keep a "improved food diary " during your previous appointment? Have they submitted your stuff to the insurance people yet? Im sorry they are having you do extra work at the 6 mo supervised diet :([/quote']

This is the first time I met with her.....my 6 mo was with my pcp. ......they can't submit to insurance until I am done with the nut! That's why I was so pissed......oh well nothing I can do about it......guess I will have to be patient!

That is ridiculous!! She should have been clear with things from the jump!! I'm sorry you have this delay :(

Thanks......when I made this apt I thought it was just like a consult thing and it would only be once.......guess not! What really gets me is that my surgeon and nut are 2 1/2 hrs away! I hate the drive!

Well I had my pre-op appointment today & also pre-registeration at the hospital. I had labs, ekg, answered a zillion questions ..asked a ton too! I start my liquid diet on the 1st & then surgery follows on the 15th. Very anxious, excited, overwhelmed... you name it & I've probably felt it! lol I love reading everyone's post here in the October thread because we are going through pretty much the same things. :)

Got a call Tuesday...I've been approved for surgery and is set up for Oct 3rd. They rushed my approval because my gallbladder is in bad shape. So happy for all the October peoples! Since its kind of quick I've starting getting nervous about getting ready because I haven't bought anything besides the Protein mix I already have.

      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.
