Thank you for that info! I've never heard if that before. Interesting! I hope that clears up super fast for you!

Alright, I have one more question. What exactly is a NUT? I see it on here all the time and I think it's the dietician, but not sure :)

I am super new here but I believe it stands for Nutritionist....I could be wrong though! Haha

I am waiting to hear from the surgical coordinator. I have called and sent emails. I am so excited I cant sit still. I have everything done except my Edoscopy which is next Wednesday. I am hoping she calls me and says next month. I am on pins and needles... LOL. To all of you that are in the same boat I am, I hope all goes well with everyone. I know I havent been this excited in a long time. "STOKED"

Hi! My surgery is July 9th. I'm 5 ft and 206 pounds. I chose the sleeve but thinking about switching to gastric bypass. Anybody have thoughts on that ?? I also would love to have someone to go through this journey with!!

Hey jaxsee I'm July 9th too. There is no reason for you to have a bypass. You're only 206!!! Sleeve is the way to go. We can be buddies!!! So excited to start this journey. My hubby and family are not happy with this decision so support is greatly appreciated. I'm 265 5'2" 36 yrs old. I wish everyone success!!

The dr office is submitting to my insurance next week. They are saying they would schedule for first part of August if everything comes back ok. I just turned 45, and can't wait to get this new journey started. I am currently at 310 and 5'11". I am getting the sleeve.

I am hoping to have my sleeve the first week in July! So glad for a support group! I will be having it done in Mexico. Self pay! Down fall is you don't get the help beforehand? So I am doing a lot of reading. Any support would be great!

I am so ticked off right now. I have been seeing my PCP for several months for Weight Managemnt and I was told this would count as towards my insurance requirements. So i spoke with the advocate at the hospital today and she informs me my doctors notes are not thorough enough . Now i have to start three months of classes. I ws hoping to have surgery soon . Al other pre -op testing done except psh eval which is scheduled next week. Now it may be late August before i am sleeved. (TEARS)

        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.

      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
