Today has been horrible! We've been trying to purchase a new home, I found out this morning that a we were going to have to wait a little longer. (Been waiting for 45 days!) Then right after that I get a call from my adocvate calls changing my surgery date. I've already put it off when it could've been done this month. So now I've got to wait until Dec. 6th. I have wanted to cry all day, but can't because I'm at work. With the date change it means that I will have surgery on Friday, come home on Sunday, and have to come back to work on Monday. I have no other choice about coming back to work that fast. I just need to vent, thanks to anyone that read this.

So sorry to hear about your frustrations. Buying a house and getting this surgery are both very emotional situations. Waiting for either one is not easy. I hope you can have a good cry after work - and then, feel better to face the challenges ahead. {{Hugs}}

I was planning for a December date but I got the call today that it will be on November 19. So I guess its time to get to know all of you! I'll tell you a little bit about me. I started this journey on July 10th. I currently weigh 294 down from 314. I'm proud mommy to 4 great kids. I work in healthcare quality but I plan to change careers after I reach my goal weight. My husband isn't all the way on board with rny but I think he's just afraid for my safety. Plus I don't think he's ready to make changes to his diet. I look forward to catching up and getting in with this group. :)

      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.
