Hey there... I'm in the process myself... this is what I have to do:

Cardiologist Clearance

Pulmonary Clearance

Endocrinologist Clearance

Psych Clearance

See a nutritionist

sleep Study

2 year weight history

4 month supervised weight loss

I'm almost there... I have the nutritionist tonight, the cardio and pulmonary appt on Saturday. I also have to re-do my sleep study because they need to get Sleep Titration results.

Hoping to get my sleee in March!! :D

Good luck on your journey!

Any info on your process with insurance is great I have emblem health so went with that but if you are in NY and have insurance please list your requirements and process since the day you first started.

Hi,

I'm new here and I have read a few boards and I see everyone is beyond helpful in some way. I'm 25 years old and live in Westchester, NY. I went for my seminar December 10, 2014

And have my first appointment with the surgeon January 23☺️was wondering for those in NY with emblem health how long after your first appointment did you get a date? What are the pre surgical requirements that need to be completed beforehand? Thanks so much!!

. Hello Harley I'm also with emblem health care in NYC, my requirements were as follows 3 month supervised diet,co morbidities such as sleep apnea, diabetes I believe you need one or more of these and your good if you don't have these issues than you need a BMI of 40+,cardiac clearance (I have clogged arteries) if you google emblem health/bariatric surgery the page of requirements should come up in a PDF format. Hope this helps and Good Luck on your journey.

I had major surgery last year on my stomach I have a very large Mercedes emblem scar plus I had a Tummy Tuck like 15 years ago and a c-section 23years ago. My surgeon tells me 3 months after I completed everything it's a good possibility I may wake up and the surgery was not completed he pulled out...I said WHAT....wait a freaking minute...girl I was psst...I'm still psst..at the end of the day he gonna get paid regardless...my mind is all over the place ...I'm not trying to waste more of my time...pre op, anesthesia..scars...NO SURGRRY ..girl I will be a news Flash..lol

        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
