I started the process in January, but I thought my Feb apt with the surgeon would count towards my monthly appointments. It didn't, so I just had my last appointment on June 3rd. I'm hoping for an August surgery date, but I'm not approved yet. My surgeon's office still hasn't submitted to my insurance company, so I'm eagerly awaiting an approval and an August surgery date!!

I live in Nevada. I'd be happy to have some buddies as this process continues!

Hello everyone! I think.I will be sometime in August as well. I have had 2 NUT visits, physc eval, stress test, ultrasound so far. sleep study set for 6/26, last NUT visit on 7/10, and Endoscopy for 7/17. I'm excited and nervous but I think the sleep study has me the most freaked out. Lol! Anyone in Fort Lauderdale,FL area. Could use a buddy.

I had a home sleep study. I hear it's not much different than a sleep clinic study. I couldn't sleep in the same room as my husband because of his snoring. While the mask thingy bothered me at first, it really wasn't bad. Good luck!

I have to stay the night at the Oband Center here and I am not used to sleeping alone. Let alone in a strange place. I think what gets me freaked the most is that someone is monitoring me the whole night and hopefully I do not have to have something on my face. I'm a heavy sleeper and snore sometimes according to the hubby. I hope I will sleep. I usually fall asleep reading...other occupant in my bed is my Kindle. I wake up with it under my body most times.

Bariatric nurse823- I am guessing you are a nurse? So am I.

I am an Acute Pain Service Nurse based out of surgery. I assist with a variety of nerve blocks placed for pre op pain control and follow the patients post op.

I am 54, will be 55 by the time I have surgery. Looking forward to a healthy lifestyle!!

My surgery date is scheduled as August 12. As it gets closer I am getting more nervous. Figured I would join and see how others are dealing with the nervousness. I was fine until taking a nutrition class as the center where I am having the surgery. A lady was in there who was close to a month out and was having trouble finding things to eat. She said she often feels like stuff is stuck in her pouch and then has to throw up in order to feel better. This part scares me.

        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.

      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
