@@sbake11 wondering if you have had a surgery date set yet? We are at about the same point in taking care of all of our appointments. My psyc eval is next week. One more appointment with the obesity counselor and my referral reads like it's approved for the visits and the surgery. Best Wishes!

Turn that frown upside down @@sbake11! Look how close you are. Think of where you will be a year from now. That's what I'm trying to use for my motivation today. A year from now, how will I feel? A whole lot better! Here's to us, keep in touch.

Ive been super selective in telling anyone as well. My husband, my sons, my boss, my mom, one sister, BF at work. That's it. Im going shopping today for my pre & post op needs, gearing up. I want to be ready when they give me the go word.

Ok, so today was my visit with the psych doc. That didn't go so well. First thing they wanted was $500.00! Seriously, can we say miscommunication?

If I was there for one set of questions it would have been a different amount but for "clearance" for WLS, $500.00 in advance.

I told them never mind, I just realy don't have the support system at home anyway, I'm thinking I really need to pull this off the burner. After the staff discussed things with the doc, they took me anyway for consultation since I had a referral. (Tri-Care, my co-pay today was $25.00).

I'm definately pulling the plug on this. As I said, I just don't have the support at home and I know I can't do it alone. I face crazy amounts of sabotage at home and I just need to make peace with that and keep eating right and not visit old habits. I wish you all well

Don't give up, Karen! Forget the ppl at home & do YOU! You may be able to get clearance from another site, after all, it's your insurance that's requesting it, not the center. Call your insurance and ask for a list of docs and start calling them... Keep fighting!!!

      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.
