I have BCBS of Louisiana they don't cover the surgery I'm sure they will after I pay cash but I'm not going to worry about that. I'm ready now.

6 days into my pre-op diet and I am down 6 pounds. I have been given a pretty relaxed diet compared to several others I read about on here. the main concept is clean eating, high Protein, low carb, low calorie. This is how we should probably all eat anyway right? anyway, the diet is going great so far. I haven't felt too much hunger, nor have I been really tempted with anything sinful. I want to get my liver to a nice comfortable size so my surgery is a lot easier on my surgeon. The easier it is for her, I assume, the easier it will be for me on my recovery. I need to get out of reading in the pre-op diet forum and get over into the post-op diet forum and start getting ready for my big date on the 10th of Sept. Oh, I am so ready to be healthy, active, thin, energetic!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
