Thanks . I did the one support, one nutrition class and 2 psych appts. They are working on getting support classes at Kaiser Roseville. Is the mindful eating the 12 week class?

Yes, it's the 12 week class, but they made it so you can come in at any time.

When did you start the process for WLS?

My insurance company saids my proposed date is June 16th! Yay!

Insurance companies have to have a date of service to process your file. When I called the insurance company to check on the status of my case they told me that proposed date was May 6th. When I was approved my surgery was scheduled for June 25th.

I started on March 26th, it would have been sooner, but I was waiting to get on a health insurance plan. Sarah and Tracy and Dr.Kang at south Sac bariatric all said I'm way ahead of most people I started with. I could have the surgery sooner, like in the next couple weeks, but I said I needed more time to prepare my house and job.

Same here. I think I went to the march 25 orientation. I wanted to do the May 22 Surgery but didn't work with my husbands schedule. So May 29th it is. Crazy how fast it's gone.

Do you go to the support groups? I find them very helpful. I will definitely keep going.

      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.
