Impatiently waiting...June sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Hello there again, sounds like everyone is moving along, good luck to you all. I spoke to my Doctors office today and they sent everything over to my insurance company, so now we are just waiting for the approval and my actual surgery date. I got butterflies today :)

How exciting! Keep us posted :)

I just looked at my on-line medical chart and was surprised to see that my insurance company has already approved my sleeve. Yup. At 10:35 am today there was a phone call with my insurance company, and it says that "Patty" has approved my sleeve.

I keep logging in and looking at it just to be sure it says what I think it says. I had no idea that the paperwork had been filed already, but then again, I've heard that my insurance company is very easy to work with. Clearly.

Hi Everyone,

I am Dawn (aka DisneyDreaming) and I am scheduled for my sleeve on June 24th. This is assuming that my sleep apnea doctor gets everything done one time. I am also a self pay so it has gone pretty quick, once I pulled the trigger and picked where I wanted to have surgery. There are two in my area and I have been researching for 2 years to make sure this is what I wanted to do. I have meet with my surgeon and had my EKG. I have my psych visit on the 22nd. The NUT and fitness eval will be on the 4th of May.

A bit about myself..I have been married 23 almost 24 years and have 3 teenagers at home. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest Washington. I

Finished the 6 months in December. I am a teacher and can't have my surgery until the summer. Yes, the waiting has been awful! Can't wait, but still kind of scared of the unknown.

Sounds rough, but then you will have a whole summer to work on YOU and your recovery so that's probably the best way it could have worked out ^_^ Good luck!

I started my journey in November 2013 but then my father passed and then my health went down im finally finished with EVERYTHING and I can't wait!

Do you guys use the phone app or use the full computer version?

I ask because when I am on my phone (Samsung Galaxy), I can't see when there have been replies to topics as easily as when I am on my computer. The features like using the @ to mention in a comment doesn't work on my phone and I can only view a members gallery photos and details when on my computer but not on my phone. Perhaps it is user error? :) Or, do you have to join VIP to get those features on your phone?

      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. 🤞

      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.
