Hey,

Looking for others in or around CT for support. I am in the early stages. My first appointment with NUT was last month. I have my second of six next week.

Welcome...I am new too. Have had a couple of NUT visits and met with the surgeon and the bariatric medial doctor. Have my psych eval tomorrow and my visit w/ the neurologist/sleep center next week. Things are moving along but my insurance requires 6months (and at least 4 visits) with the NUT so we can't even submit for approval until March. I'm not in CT but I live in Mass on the CT border, near Enfield/Sommers. Good Luck!!

That is great. My insurance requires six months as well so I am looking at March for the approval and around April for the date for the surgery. I am hoping everything goes well the next few months. I am trying to do things in steps without overwhelming myself. I am calling a therapist tomorrow to schedule. I am likely to want the added support so I am going to continue throughout this process.

Good Luck with the process as well!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
