I am sadly NOT going to be a September 24 sleever anymore. I am beyond frustrated, but trying to still be good. I have been so ready, bought all my Vitamins and post surgery items to be told today by my insurance company that I was supposed to register with "their" program and after I registed a NP will be giving me a call on September 29th. I called back in April and asked everything, they NEVER transferred me to the bariatric area of my insurance, not even a mention of it!!!!!!!! Now, surgery that was for next week is cancelled, by claim for my short term disability closed, all the arrangments for my work to be done again, later as well as childcare arrangements for my son. This sucks, I am venting, crying inside so my son doesn't see (he is four). Picked him up from school all happy as usual and one of his young buddies asked if I had a baby in my belly. I thought I would bust crying, but nope. Thank god I have a therapy appointment tomorrow.I just want to scream!

Omg.....the same thing just happened to me I can't believe it

Is everyone "out" about their surgery? Or am I only one that has kept this quiet except immediate family!

I'm with you! I had no intention of keeping it a secret. I'm fortunate to have an amazing supportive husband! And two of my family members have already been sleeved, so they''re of course very understanding and supportive. But when I told my best friend.....DID NOT go over well! She has always been bigger than me, and unfortunately a very jealous person. She tells me all the time that she worries about me turning into a bitch once I've lost weight and the dangers of the surgery and how she knows I'll be extremely unhappy after the surgery and yada yada yada. It's really unfortunate and makes me really sad. I'm not doing this to be skinny. I'm doing this to be healthy and all she can see is that I will continue to be skinnier than her. After her reaction, I have not a single other person and I don't intend to.

The 23. It sucks. I mean no it hasn't been denied but they called me n told me I was approved I rented a room n a car already n took off a month from work. Now what?

And there's no possibility that it can still come through for that date?

      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. 🤞
