@@Shannong1521@gmail.com oh well hopefully everything goes to plan and you can have it soon. Atkinson was great, I'm sure Soong is as well. Either way they are a great team!

@@blessed 0329 That's great you have your consult coming up. For me my surgery was scheduled about a month out from my consult. My friends wife just had her consult and is scheduled for January. I'm guessing maybe the holidays there is either a lot more patients or they take time off for the holidays.

I was insurance and so is she, HPN. Approval was fast, the longest was the three month diet. They are pretty good with the timeline. My insurance sent the approval right away.

yeah I believe that it was sent right after the consultation, I was told that if anything happens I would know before the surgery date. No problem with the questions, that's what this is all for. :-)

I had the sleeve and didn't require a drain. I was told that i t would be best to lose 10 lbs before surgery so I did go one a diet two weeks before. Not a liquid diet just a no bad food thing. I don't remember how long the operation was but it was over fairly fast. I just stayed overnight and I went home around noon the next day. No complications. I walked around several times that night and the next day. The pressure from the gas wasn't bad for me but I could hear the woman that had it the same day, crying and being very loud from the pain. I don't think she got up and walked around. I had taken a week off of work but I should have taken two. I was very tired for about two weeks.

      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.
