It will come faster then you think! Who is your surgeon? I had mine on Nov. 30th in Mason City with Dr. Ver Steeg but I live in Waterloo...

That is also my surgeon

It took about 2 weeks to get everything prepped to submit for my approval, as frustrating as it was being on this end thinking they just weren't getting their job done in a timely matter once it was submitted and approved in one shot I realized the prep work they were doing to assure it only took one time to get it approved. Trust me, once they get the green light it will fly by! The day I got the call that insurance approved everything they set up the final preop appointments and I had my surgery date... then I had my own personal freak out thinking it was moving to fast. ;-) It will happen soon and like everything in this process it takes amazing amounts of patience. Good luck!!

      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.
