Hello. I started my process for my sleeve 4/2/2014. I will be having my surgery around September 9 or 10th. I have to do a 4 week diet starting in August. I also have to have my EGD 8/1/2014 and a vascular study 7/29/31. I am so excited and ready for this life changing experience. My doctor's office should be submitting my packet for approval by Monday. I would love a buddy too. I am in VA.

Hi Nika I am also in VA, possibly with surgery being done mid August early September I will know this week after my pcp sends his clearance to my surgeon's office

I'm a little nervous- my medical weight management appt is on Tuesday. I'm only about 10 pounds down from my appt in April- the reason is I've just started to modify diet and exercise- my bmi was 42.2, so I didn't want to go in full mode of watching everything and lose too much before they even submit to insurance.

I feel like I'm doing very mindful eating, cut out pop ( huge coke fan, and I haven't had for about 5 weeks).

I do so much better M-F, weekends are hard to stay on task-

I think that I can have another 10 off before pre-op diet starts-

It would be great to have 25 pounds off before surgery?

What pre surgery goals are you Sept sleeves working towards?

It's all happened very quickly for me, I only started this journey in May. I have been very fortunate.

Good luck everyone!

I'm hoping for a September date. I'm working through an 8 week skills class required by the surgeon. In 2 weeks they'll submit for insurance approval but I won't get a date until the class ends on September 9th. I'm hoping for the end of the month.

      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.
