Hello, Everyone!

My date is April 21st and at 7:30a.m.

I am also 5' 5" tall. Seems to be quite a common height on here ☺️

My highest weight was 298 and as of today I am down to 273. I am quite happy about it because due to the weight lost beyond 5% I only have to do 8 days of full liquid diet and one day of Clear liquids the day before surgery.

My surgeons office sent my paperwork to my insurance on the 20th so now I just sit (or walk) and wait to find out whether they are going to authorize this or not. I am terrified they won't approve me right away and I will have to fight them. I already have leave approved and everything in place.

I am so happy to have the people here to talk with!

Hello everyone

I am suppose to have my surgery in the morning (Good Friday) at 7:15 am. I have to be at the hospital at 5 am. I'm hoping everything goes well. I had a heart attack in October 2014. They were some concerns about the CABG. Around 4:30 pm I got a call telling me that my white blood cell count was elevated when I did a blood tests. I have COPD and had been sick.

So wish me well. I will let everyone know how it turns out. If my date changes I will let you know. Congratulations to all April new journeymen (an women). Good Luck and speedy recovery to all.

      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
