I mean, so far nothing has really happened. I met with the Surgeon here at Jane Phillips. I have an appointment with a nutritionist, exercise specialist and the psychologist all this month. I am starting my 4 consecutive week weigh in twice a week, on Monday September 12th. I'm nervous about that. I'm not sure what to expect.

I just feel stuck until I get approval from insurance and set a surgery date.

The bariatric program here in bartlesville told me my goal right now, is to not gain. Weight loss is okay, but in small amounts, so the insurance will approve me.

My insurance requires a 6 month Dr. Supervised plan, or two - 3 month plans (within the past 2 years). I did a 3 month plan last year that I am trying to be approved for and if it is accepted, I will only have to do 3 more months. I am currently on week 2 of the 3 months. I will be done Nov. 24th. Hoping to get the surgery complete in December. Fingers crossed!

I have bcbs. Had my fifth month check up last week. After my October 7th appointment they will send to insurance for approval. All happened so fast! If all goes well November will be the month but I'd love to have it in October!

@tiffanymunn if you have any questions hit me up. I was only anxious once so far and that was meeting the surgeon. I am so excited about the future I don't have the energy to worry.

I'm in Norman and Dr Lana Nelson did my sleeve in July. LOVE her, she and her staff at Journey Clinic are wonderful and knowledgeable. However the support groups I've been to here are not good IMO. I actually found the few I went to kind of depressing as most of the people were complaining of setbacks and/or not that successful in their journeys.

        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!

      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
