Finally NWWLS



Recommended Posts

So if any of you have read my threads on here then you would know that I have gone round and round with the insurance companies...multiple ones actually mine and my mothers. I have been dealing with this since last summer. Wanting it for two years. Last night after being told that the lap band was an exclusion again, by a new insurance company I decided to just save up and go to Mexico. My mother said she would pay for half and I would pay for half. Ijust had to sav eup 5 grand. Just now I was sitting at my desk, I E-mailed my mom and said hey by the way I need your information for you're health insurance. When she responded she said, I will give it ot you tonight. By the way I called NWWLS today and you're surgery is May 23rd. You will need to pay for half of this but it's on my credit card. Don't tell dad yet.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT.

Out of no where she did that I didn't even know she had a credit card for tha ammmount I was shocked. I think it is because she refinanced the hous,e but who knows. I am just so shocked. If any of you have seen the movie the secret then you will understand this. I finally decided to just think that I was going to have the surgery and everynight Iwould lsiten to the tape the secret to the secret and I told myself that I would have the surgery by June no matter what. Two weeks later I get that E-mail from by mom. And a surgery date at the end of may.

Thought become things.

Thanks guys!!! I am soo shocked. I mean there were times where she told me she wouldn't help me. But she said that I have proven to her that I am responsible. I can't beleive it. She cares. It's hard for her too because sh ehas never ever ever been overweight like me...she was a red head bombshell in High School. But she knows how happy I will be. New life here I come!!!

        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
