Send some good thoughts my way-My last check-in for the mandatory 6 months of supervised diet, endless labs, classes, support groups, etc is TOMORROW. I'm really hoping they submit to insurance and start scheduling me for surgery!!!

Today is a very important day for my family! I need all the prayers and positive thoughts I can get. I leave at 10:30am for my doctor's appt-should be last of my six month check-ins, and my hubby has a VERY important interview today. Send those positive thoughts and prayers our way. I'll update later. (HOPEFULLY I GET MY DATE!!!)

Hi everyone, just an update. Doctor's appt. went well. My doctor is now "writing the letter" to the insurance company for approval and I'm awaiting a call from the hospital for a date to meet with the surgeon and HOPEFULLY get a tentative surgery date. I'm getting jealous of people who have their dates! :)

Also-hubby's interview went well. THANK YOU GOD!!!

UPDATE!!! I FINALLY GOT MY SURGEON MEETING DATE-I meet with him on Feb 25th!

      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.
