On track for November...



Recommended Posts

I know Jennifer the meals that feel like last suppers are hard to skip. What I've heard people call food funerals on this site. I'm struggling with that also seems like on a daily basis. I try to substitute Protein Drinks and Protein Bars as much as possible. Good luck hang in there I'll do the same

The lady at my doctor's office rocks. We submitted the papers to the insurance today (my BMI is still 40 and my initial was like 45), so it's probably going to be an automatic approval :: fingers crossed:: So even though I am not yet approved, she still booked me for surgery. Woot Woot!!! I am having it done on Nov 17th. As long as my insurance company approves it. Though I see no reason for a denial, but insurance companies are so sneaky.

I can't wait for the surgery... I am just curious if I will recognize the face in the mirror when I lose the weight and see myself.

I just called the ins company and they told me that my authorization is effective for Dec 3rd. I asked what that meant and she said the doctor has to give them a date the auth is for and they gave dec 3rd. So I guess that when my surgery is??? She says they have one year from the date of auth to actually use it. Dag....Dec???? That's 2 more months. Omg. Glad Im approved but feeling disappointed that it wont be November. FYI...I have BCBS Federal Standard Option. It took 1 week for approval.

      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. 🤞
