I have been preparing for gastric bypass surgery since Feb. of 2014. My visits for my 6 months of dr appointments started in March, and ended in Sept. My final visit was Sept 25th 2014. My doctor sent my all of my papers/file to the surgeon and everything was going great. Sept 27th I was walking my dog and cracked my fifth metatarsal on my left foot in half. The office manager called that monday the 29th and said I was approved and we needed to schedule. I told her about what happened. The doctor called and said I wasn't able to have my surgery during the time of my broken foot because I would not be mobile enough. I was devastated to say the least. I stayed in a cast from sept 27th until the end of November. I also had to have surgery on my foot during that time to screw the bone back together. Finally after I was out of the cast and healed my surgery was scheduled for Dec 12th. I got a call a few days beforehand that the surgeon was overbooked that day and they scheduled me by mistake. It would be the 22nd before I would have surgery. I felt like at this point it would just not happen, something would always keep coming up. But, Dec. 22nd I was FINALLY able to get my surgery. Since then I have lost from 279.5 lbs to 246. 33.5 lb weight loss in almost 4 weeks. That is not too bad in my opinion :) Moral of the story: good things come to those who wait!!! lol

Your story sounds similar to mine, except no broken MT or anything. I just had the bypass Thursday 1/15.

      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
