so how long is everyone taking off?

I'm taking two weeks... if I need more, I'll add some days. But I don't see it as necessary if all goes well because I have a desk job.

I'm taking off 2 1/2 weeks maybe 3. But I'm a hairdresser at a very busy salon. I only get a break if there isn't a client so I decided I didn't want to go back till I was 100% again. Plus being that I'm the 17th I figured I would just go back after the kids go back.

My surgeon and his office seem confident I will have my surgery before the end of the year. I still have my psych eval and then final approval from my insurance company before I get an actual date. I am shooting for Dec 16 or 23 because I will be on Christmas break.

I am excited!

same boat as you. Coordinator is confidant I'll have end of year date and will submit to insurance beginning of December. Everything else is done

I don't have an exact date yet, but my surgeon seems to think I shouldn't have any problem getting approved/surgery completed by the end of the year. I am a school teacher so if I am not able to get it done over the Christmas break, it will have to wait until summer. My last PSW visit is scheduled for 11/25 and I will hopefully hear from insurance within a few days since I already have completed all of the other requirements. I am 35 years old and current weight is 240. I have battled my weight FOREVER.

      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.
