How many times did u see the doctor within that time frame?.. my BMI is right at 40.68 or something like that so if I loose 10 pounds I wont b able to have the surgery so waiting 6 months just to have the surgery would really suck!! Im ready for the change.

Yes..it was something...I had seen the doctor in November 2013...but my health insurance didn't cover bariatric surgery... I had to wait to switch my HMO....I did in July...but also start any weight loss program plus seen my doctor once a month...and in July I seen the psychologist... Nutritist... Same day...and they submitted my packet to insurance on Aug 18...approval on Aug 21.. I think it was quick because I started the other program too...and its Medicaid..

Exactly! Talking to my husband is like talking to a wall. He knows hoe I feel but doesnt understand the toll it takes on ur emotions ya know. Like u said u also have the same insurance so this is very helpful. I should hear from the bariatric doctors office this week about the requirements from UH for me. Keep ur fringers crossed for me that they wont make me wait 6 months!! Will keep u ladys updated and u do the same pls :)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
