it's going really seem real once I submit to the insurance company, but I'm so not ready for the waiting game with my insurance company, I hope I get a fast approval

How does that make you feel? I am in the same position and it makes me feel like my life is on hold for the next 3 months. The Dr. & I have our supervised plan in place but I feel like we're both just going through the motions. It's kind of depressing!! Anyone else in this boat? Can you relate? Is this a normal feeling to have? What can I do to change my mindset so I can use this time to prepare in a productive way?

I've been in this boat since June. My doc said not to lose any weight, but I'm ready to get on with it! I started the process in January. The only thing I know to do is sample Protein Shakes so you have an idea of what you like, and research so you have realistic expectations.

honestly I think that's done after the 6 months diet they require, If not then I haven't , now I have to complete the labs they are asking for and I'm so overwhelmed I can't wait till this surgery it's done!!

I feel the same way, I feel very depressed I just want to have the surgery because I can't do it alone anymore I don't lose anything and if I do I'll gain the weight right away

      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
