That is awesome! Congrats! I'm scheduled for Nov 17th. I see soany ppl talking about insurance approvals, & no one has said anything to me about insurance other than to say that I meet the criteria & need to complete certain steps prior to surgery.

Same here my surgery is Nov 24th and nobody has said anything either.

I would call the doctors office and find out for sure. Insurance approval was half the battle for me. My surgeon wouldn't set a date until insurance approved.

What insurance do you have? If you have Medicare, medicare doesn't pre approve for most procedures. But if you meet the requirements than most likely they will pay the 80 percent.

Mine was the same, set it right after approval though.

Wishing you luck!

Has anyone taken "Before" pics? If so, any tips on what to wear, where to take pics, poses?

Yes...I took them in my bra and underwear in my guest room. I took one from the front with arms outstretched, one from the back (the worst!) and one from each side. I also took measurements. I plan on repeating these poses each month until I hit my goal.

      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. 🤞
