It is sleeve...only a single incision (not so many scars)

I am scheduled for July 10th. I am hoping to get the sleeve but it will depend on if my insurance will aprove it. They may only aprove the bypass. I am okay if it goes thst way as my mom had rny 3 years ago and has done wonderfully.

Hi everyone,

I am booked for July 2, also self-pay in Mexico. So far, the experience for me has been great, the coordinator answering all of the questions I've put to her. Ginaa, I don't know which surgeon you've been looking at, but the one I chose has a health survey to fill out, then the nutritionist contacts you after review of that. As far as the liquid diet, the info I have at the moment is two weeks liquid supplemented with unlimited green veggies,with a goal of 10% loss unless the nutritionist tells me otherwise.

Ok I agree! I'm 5ft about 211lbs . I started my 6 month required diet 4 months ago. I'm borderline bmi so I was told to not lose weight. I should have surgery in July. My goal is to be about 130lbs. That's about a size 6 on me. I cannot wait for my surgery and I'm terrified at the same time. How about you?

I agree!! Looking forward to sharing with people doing this at the same time. 36 year old female, single, mom of one. Have surgery scheduled July 22nd. Self paying so don't have a lot to do right now except research, don't have to do so many dr appts and tests.

About 300 lbs now, keep losing and gaining 5 pounds. 5'5". My goal... Not sure maybe 145 as a dream goal but anything under 200 will make me thrilled. And then I will hack off another couple pounds with plastic surgery to remove extra skin :-)

I want to look great... But I also want to feel great, have more energy and stamina. I want to be able to maintain my home inside and out like I used to be able to.

Great idea guys! As much as I really value the input/experience of people who have already "been there, done that", I think it would be good to connect with people who are going through pretty much the same thing at the same time. I'm 5'10", at 307.

I started looking into this half-heartedly about a year ago, then when I got serious about it discovered the province I'm in it takes about a year for the referral to go through and then a year of classes,appointments etc, with the possibility you may never be accepted for surgery. I definitely don't have that kind of time to waste, I want to get on with my life! Opted to do self-pay instead.

I have no idea what a realistic goal for my weight should be, but for the time being I have it in mind for 165-175lb. Lower than that would be ok too, maybe. Its hard to say, as I have never been a "normal" weight my entire adult life.

I am 5' 3 and started at 272 and am currently at 235. I have set 140 as my kind of higher goal but I would be even happier at 130 or so. I am excited to see how everyone does and to share our experiences and struggles.

      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.
