My insurance covered it. All I had to pay was my co-pay! It was deemed a necessity by my insurance company because of the risk of rashes & infections that floppy skin would have caused! my superpower is......

my insurance was going to pay for it but it is not anymore. What did you have to do to prove it.

So, TMI, but can you wear normal panties and not have your gut hanging out the leg holes???? I mean, really, I don't care so much if it's totally flat, I'm tired of having to stuff it in my clothes to keep it from flapping in the wind :/ HW 312, pre-op (RNY) 255, current weight 198

Yup. Regular panties and NO tucking my gut here there and everywhere!

You can tuck it in? I'm the poster child for muffin top! lol

I haven't started looking yet, but if you find a good one let me know as I am in the Tampa area. I'm still too soon out of surgery, but I can already tell I'm going to at least want my arms done!

Anyone know of a good plastic surgeon in the MD,VA area who is familiar with weight loss surgery? I had a consult with who I thought was a good one and I started asking questions about changing my port to low profile or change the location and I felt a little dismissed with my questions.

What part are you from? Are you in Delmarva?

      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.
