On track for November...



Recommended Posts

Had my second dietician visit yesterday. She said that by the next time I see her (9/30), I will have all of my other insurance requirements met already. We will set a tentative surgery date and will schedule a meeting with the surgeon (in October).

Saying it's only 30 days from Sept 7th makes it sound SO much sooner (at least to me )! I can't wait until I have a definite date...

Once you go to the last NUT visit things go crazy fast from that point.

I can only imagine. It seemed to take forever to get from the seminar to my first appointment, but it seems to be going quickly since then! Though the multiple appointments have made it go fast...

I will finish my 6 visits with the GP on the 5th of Noember. They have all my paper work and tests ready to send to Medicare for approval. Hoping it's a short wait, my nut said medicare has to respond withi 14 days. Then it will just be scheduling waiting.

I will be having my second dietician visit on Wednesday! I am scheduled for surgery on November 11th. How did your first month go? I haven't really been super focused yet until I realized my surgery is in 70 days.

That's exactly how I felt about a month ago!!! I am just about a week out from my 30 day countdown. I have just been focusing on all the positives in my life......and remembering all the experiences the overweight me, that I am right now, is going to help shape me into the more beautiful, healthy me I am about to become. I always want to be who I am... Just a smaller version.

That's awesome that you already have a surgery date!!

I'm down 16 lbs since July 9th, or down 10 from my first dietician visit on July 22nd. I'm supposed to lose 25 lbs before surgery.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
