Tomorrows consultation



Recommended Posts

maybe one day I will be hoping for one too - I will cross my fingers, eyes and toes for you! Tough day at work for me trying to work all crossed (fingers, eyes, & toes) though!

Let us know what the results are so we can cheer you on. I heard the recovery is a B*TcH.

@@youngmilf - I totally get the pic thing (naked or not). I didn't have any pain post op but I have heard its painful and I would like to possibly do my stomach and get the "girls" back to a normal area. I have always been chesty and my one GF's first question was post-op for the sleeve was "what about your boobs?" I couldn't believe it! She is almost as chesty and has a belly to rest hers on too! Love her, but really.....thought a sister wouldn't asked more about my new tummy :/

Hey all... Consultation went well. I go back sept 11th... I have a little work to do... I have to loose as much weight as possible. Between 30-60 at max... I also have to get a antifungal cream on documented for this persistant itch... If it works they wont approve... But if it doesnt then it will be approved... In so many words he gave me the blue print to get approved. The extra weight loss is to get the best result possible.... I do like a challenge and so he told me to enjoy my summer and i got my appt for sept...he told me this is going to be the hardest thing i do the extra weight loss.... But i know i can do it... Its crunch time now!!!

      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
