Thinking about you McLosin :)

Thank you. I'm still waiting, Dr has been backed up, hopefully it will be shortly. Nerves are there, but not too bad. I'm more worried about the days ahead. I am moving soon and have to be out of our current house by April 1st. And our new house needs some improvements......sigh!

wow you have alot going on. I'm looking to move too. but i'm planning on doing it around the end of May beginning of June. If I did that now i'd be wanted to unpack the house and move boxes and I know I shouldn't be doing that.

My neice is 6 weeks out and her surgery was scheduled for 10:30 am and she went in about 1:30. between not being able to eat or drink anything and just the wait that's torture. but it's understandable. it's a hospital after all.

I hope you're in there soon. :)

Good morning! I got the birthday present I really wanted! Ins was approved on Friday, called the office this morning and she is checking with the doctor, but looks like March 24th will be my date, which is my mom's birthday. So excited!

I felt the same way when I went to my pre-op appointment. Surgery is the day after tomorrow for me! Can't believe it!

I hope everyone that had it recently is doing 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.
