Michelle-Rose, I am in Central NY... Hoping to have a date in mid May. Lost 6 pounds so far. Since the weather is nicer I can walk outside again. I am going to center f Excellence so I have that in favor. Scared .. Oh yeah.. But I need my life back and can't take this yo yoing stuff any more. I go to surgeon again on Thursday this week.

Finally after being told that my info had been submitted four times. It was actually sent to insurance this afternoon. I have a whole list of comorbidities, so as of right now I am feeling pretty confident.

Called UHC this morning and the surgeon's office gave the insurance a dummy date of may 6th. Maybe I will get lucky and have surgery in May. I will have to have later in May because I don't get paid until the 14. I have to buy a bunch of mandatory Protein Drinks and Vitamins. They call it the starter pack. It's 250 dollars. That should be all I have to pay out pocket, seeing that my out of pocket and deductible have been met.

Just saw my surgeon this morning and I have a date!!! June 9th! Cutiepie -- we may go at the same time!

It was weird though -- I was surprised when he said he'd schedule the pre-surgery appointment and then also did a surgery date. I don't know what I was expecting but for some reason I wasn't expecting that! lol Maybe just because I've read on here people struggling to get approved and such and so far all my stuff has gone off without a hitch!

Now the need for patience kicks in!

It will not take long. I think my time in the process has been the shortest of all. I had my primary care doc do my referral the first week in February, saw surgeon the first time last week in February. Did all the pre cert requirements first 2 weeks of March and got approved last week of March. Surgery is in 5 days. Im so nervous ive been reading the posts in the post op room to catch up on what to expect. They post some good info that you may not have considered I believe everyone should go there and read through. It will give insight and ease the nerves some it may add on once and a while though. Good luck to everyone waiting for approval and surgery.

I have a date.. June 9. Anyone else with me? It seemed to go so smooth so far. I'm glad to be post-op during the summer so I can walk and swim easier. I need all the encouragement from this group. Thank you in advance.

I have my psych evaluation this Tuesday the 29th. Does anyone know what kind of questions they ask? Pretty sure they just want to make sure people are having the surgery that have eating disorder tendencies and such...

Went for my first insurance weigh in on April 21st....lost 10 lbs since my initial appointment on March 20th!!! I was shocked. I high fived the nurse haha. Need to lose 3 more lbs to be at the 5% loss for insurance.

A little worried because I am going on vacation to Florida May 18th - 23rd and I don't want to gain any vacation weight!!!!

      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.
