For the first time in years I'm not hosting thanksgiving at my house so I think that'll help me not eat as much. I'd love someone to go through this with. Had a nightmare about the surgery last night.. I went under and woke up amd said I want McDonald's... but I couldn't have it.. I know that's what's going to happen.. but it seemed like the end of the world in my dream.. creepiness...

Honestly Ive thought about for years but never truly looked into it thinking my insurance would never pay for it and a friend I went to high school had the surgery and I saw her progress online. I asked her what she was doing and told me gastic bypass and highly recommended her surgeon whom she also works for. And that was late may/ early june and was hapoy to find out its covered!

A close friend of mine had it done recently. I tried to talk her out od it xause my aunt had the open done 10 yrs back and got so sick. It was horrible. But when I went to see my friend the morning after she got it done she was up walking around.. perfectly fine... so I looked into it hardcore and was also relieved to find out it was covered. My pcp signed the medical necessity form yesterday... gyn sent her clearencet in.. I'm stoked

      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.
