Hey There,

I'm a september sleever.

Just had my pre op appointment on sept 13th.

Doctor's office submitted my paper work to Cigna on that same day.

Excited!!!! :)

By the way your primary doctor should have no problems signing off on your surgery.

Hi! I just found this place! I have one more pre-op to get through, then I talk to my surgeon

about getting me a surgery date. I started 3/31/15, I have Cigna as well, and went through the very same hoops. Monday is blood work and EKG. I'm hoping for a September date, but it would

depend on his schedule. It's been frustrating at times, but I've lost 32 pounds and feel better, so that's a plus!

It seems like it took forever to get to this point. ;) I know it didn't, but at least I'm almost to Day 1 of my new life! I can finally start living. I've been hiding for 30+ years, basically. I do not have any "issues" other than a BMI of almost 48 in the beginning. but my knees hurt, my hips hurt, forget walking anywhere, aint gonna happen(guess there are some issue out there... :) ). But even after losing 30 lbs, I notice little things, like walking in the grocery store is easier, for one. I can breathe a bit easier too. Should be awesome when the rest of the weight is off. :D I've tried every diet out there, just about, except for Jenny Craig or Medifast. WW, Atkins, HCG, all fruit, just Soup, veggie smoothies, and forget the ACV. OMG, just thinking about that one makes me shudder. I am excited, the VGS is my one time shoot to get it right! I will make my body behave itself!

I thought I was going to be with you guys for September, but approval came in on Wednesday from insurance and confirmed yesterday that surgery is scheduled for this Friday, 8/21!! Started my one week pre-op diet today.

      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
