I originally had my sleep study scheduled for next Saturday. I received a call last night that they had a cancellation for tonight and did I want it. I said sure, wanting to get things moving. You can't imagine how upset I was to have them call at 2:00 today to cancel the appointment due to weather. There wasn't even 2 inches of snow fall last night - what the crap!!!! So I call to reschedule only to find that my originally scheduled time next weekend was already filled. Now I have to wait until the 15th of February, setting me back 2 weeks because this now means I have to also reschedule with the pulmonary Dr. GRRRRRR!!!!!! Not a happy girl right now. :s

I can imagine how frustrating that can be. Hang in there and take it one day at a time. I don't know about you, but my weeks have been flying by...it is already February! Can you believe it? Turned in my Psych tests, have to wait for his approval, 2 more classes and my next appointment is in a week and a half. Praying all comes together for us all soon.

I'm so sorry SugarFreeMe!

The same thing happened to me last week except the appt was for my very first consult for referral to a surgeon.. Anyhow it was cancelled due to weather.. I cried for 2 days because I had been really excited about my appt and getting the ball rolling. My rescheduled appt is this Tuesday...

I feel for you and I am sorry.

I would call back and INSIST on a earlier appointment. You were doing them a favor by filling a opening now that there is snow they put your appointment even further back - call them back and insist !!! This is not a good way to threat your clients !!!!

I received a call today from the sleep study group to apologize for their error. They rearranged things so that I can get my original appointment back for this coming Saturday. I was go happy, I was just getting ready to call the pulmonary office and reschedule with them, now I don't have to. Also received a call from my surgeons office. All is good with the insurance company, they have everything they need. As soon as I get pulmonary clearance the surgeons office will submit the final paperwork and give me a date. Hopefully I'm still good for Mid-March. It's hard to believe this is really going to happen. I've been contemplating it for so many years. Beyond excited right now!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone for your encouragement and kind words.

      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
