My date is 4/8 - finally approved thru CIGNA. They denied it at first and my doctor did a peer to peer call and it's been approved. I am drinking the shakes and I am allowed 3 oz of lean meat/fish/chicken but I am starving!! Not losing a thing and I don't understand that. So glad you started this post. Guess I will stay follow you :)

Sitting in hospital room now, waiting to go down. Surprisingly calm and ready to start. This bit is the worst. Very happy to have lost almost 30 pounds on my four week pre op diet. Met with consultant, got stockings on, silly hospital knickers and gown. Ready to go!!

I really am hungry and having a hard time . Want to cheat but I can't risk anything now. Sick of the shakes - that can't be good and my body is hanging on to the weight! I would at least like to see the scale move more then 1 lb. Just keep thinking 3 more night - I can do it. Any suggest for the hunger ? I am drinking the Water. I will confess, I haven't heard my stomach talk to me in over 35 years!! :rolleyes:

      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.

      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.
