Sounds like a good plan to wait till June!! Best of luck to you and hope everything is smooth sailing! Do you mind me asking your age?? Trying to meet someone to walk the journey with me.. A friend who knows the battles I'm going through.. Most of my close friends seem to be treating me a lil different since I told them I was getting gastric bypass!

Do you come to the support groups

Oh ok. So how's it going 6 months after surgery? I haven't had mine yet. Possibly next month. I started trying to go thru Dr. Salzberg and riverside as well but had horrible luck and interactions with his staff. They were giving me wrong information and basically got and attitude when I tried to correct them (concerning my insurance). So I'm going thru Chesapeake Regional and I'm soooooo much happier with them.

I personally feel they weren't willing to do the work necessary to handle my situation of having two insurances. My primary doesn't cover RNY but my second does and they just gave me this blanket, generic statement of "if ur primary ins doesn't cover it then ur second won't". And that's not true. The attitudes came after I got my secondary insurance person to call them and clarify but they stood firm on their statement which was INSANE to me when u have someone directly from the ins company telling u otherwise. But like I said God knows best and He directed me away from them and to the place He wanted me to be. I would like to lose anywhere from 110 to 130 pounds.

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

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
