No problem! You can still follow along with us since we're so close (or until a January 2014 group pops up)!

Well, I was able to move up my Upper GI (he said I could have EGD or Upper GI) so I will have upper GI and ekg Monday, and then they can schedule it. His office said they have "several" days open in December. I just want "my" date open in December! Lol.

Had my Upper GI this morning. Officially I'm clean but the Dr said they debated for a while as to whether or not I have a hiatal hernia.

Meanwhile I'm telling everyone in my office that they found a HH which sets the stage for my cover up story.

Hoping that your day is open so we can be surgery twins! :)

I hope that I will be a December sleever. My pre op labs showed I have an h pylori infection. Who knew?? Never even heard of it. I was horrified when I read about it and how it spreads. I don't know how I got it or how long I've had it...just know I want it gone. Dr had me give a stool sample to be sure but I'll bet my last Twinkie that I'll have to go on antibiotics for two weeks to get rid of it. Everyone seems to get sick from the meds. Once I am clear from h pylori, I'm ready for surgery. Anyone else have this problem?

my insurance is so weird. the only things they require is a drug test including nicotine, the 6 month supervised weigh ins and type 2 diabetes. luckily I don't smoke and the hospital has me in their computer as controlled diabetes.

      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.
