Just knowing what April has gone through, seeing something like that is highly offensive. She was actually injured leaving work when the roads were very icy here. It was mandatory that we go to work that day, or risk being fired. April and I were going to lunch, and she slipped and fell in the parking lot, on a solid sheet of ice. Unfortunately, like she said, that triggered a long and winding process, crippling her to where some days, she can barely move without being in immense pain. One thing that we talk about, is how excited she is to be able to be active again so she can get another job. I'm happy abd excited for you, April. Your new life is just around the corner!

Don't cry. People never know where life may take them and should not be judgmental. I am so happy you are so close to getting your surgery and wish you the best of luck.

Thank you. It's just been a crazy day and a shock to see that.

I believe you and accept your apology. I've emailed Alex to remove the mean comments from both of us permanently. I do not know how else to have them removed.

I tried to edit out the screenshot of your statement that I posted but it won't remove the pic. It'll only let me edit the wording. Otherwise I'd do it myself

I didn't know that Medicare and Medicaid paid for these types of surgeries. It must be very nice to have one as ur main insurance and the other as a secondary. Makes me think why do I work and pay for my insurance and still have to pay over $7000 for my surgery! I've lost my mind!!!

I paid into Medicare my entire life. I am fortunate enough not to be on Medicaid; however, I believe everyone deserves adequate health care. My prior plan didn't cover bariatric surgery...and I am very glad Medicaid and Medicare do. Actually, I now have Aetna Medicare Advantage and it has been great!

OP...you work and pay for your insurance because you can! Would you really opt to be on Medicare and need Medicaid to get by? I think not!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
