November surgeries?



Recommended Posts

I'm new here. I just submitted all my preop testing to insurance on Thursday, and am waiting on an answer. So pending the approval, I am guessing and hoping to be a November surgery!!!

@Judyr - is your surgery scheduled for Fountain Valley hospital or Orange Coast? I'm excited but so nervous too....

I'm going to Fountain Valley. I don't have a time yet. Still have 2 more specialists and blood work to do. Then see surgeon on the 1st and pre-op nurse. Hopefully, I will get final details again.

I was scheduled for Oct 11 but my Dr's wife went into labor. So now I'm scheduled for Nov 11. I just hope I'm feeling good enough for Black Friday. Lol

Since submitting everything to insurance, I feel super nervous. I feel like I did with my pregnancies. Reading lots of articles, reading other people's advise, buying special things to prepare, excited by the idea of being comfortable with my body again, and doing a lot of day dreaming, and anxious for the special day! I can not wait! Seriously, waiting for this approval is like making me too giddy, like a kid on Christmas Eve. I want this so bad! I can't wait.

I felt the same way...once approved full panic mode happened. ..but thinking of wearing a bathing suit and shorts and trying on wedding dresses for my vow renewal makes all that fear disappear. .prayers you hear back soon from the insurance company and get your date :)

Dont be nervous go into this very positive and the most positive results will be your outcome. Enjoy the process more its a beginning of a whole new life for you. And all of us really. I feel very extremely fortunate that my surgeon and his whole team have done everything for me. Before I even started out all the labs and what not they sent my referral from my PCP and got my approval and now monday I do my upper endoscopy then i get my surgery date. Im super excited! :)

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

      2. 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
