I'm postponing mine I just found out that my ins only pays 50% of the 16,000 dollar surgery. So my out of pocket would be 8000 and they want 4000 before they do surgery. Than make payments for the rest. So depressed

I live in Pottstown, PA but work in North Wilmington near the mall. So I could be an honorary DE support person. I sleeved back in the beginning of February so am a bit ahead of you guys.

NewMe- I am sorry to hear that you have to postpone your surgery. Have you checked with your insurance yourself about how much they will pay? It almost sounds like your surgeon/facility is either non-network or not a Centers of Excellence under your insurance. They may pay more if you go to a different facility/doctor.

I'm so sick of chocolate Protein Shakes after 3 weeks of liquid. Any suggestions? I'm drinking some milk and broth.< /p>

I bought Matrix vanilla and was allowed to add frozen no sugar added peaches or mangos. Berries would come later.

I also used DaVinci SF syrups such as caramel, brown sugar/cinnamon, gingerbread, Peanut Butter They have other such as raspberry.

You can add Peanut Butter to the chocolate or vanilla shakes. There is PB2 which is powdered peanut butter. I just used real peanut butter.

I did eat some creamed Soups and strained the chunks out. I loved the broth from wonton Soup.< /p>

I would suggest ordering samples of Matrix or Nectars. I got mine from MyBaratricPantry. They have a huge variety. I drank shakes for a few months after the full liquid phase to make sure I was getting Protein. I use them less now that I am 5 months out from surgery. It is nice to have the shakes available for awhile. I way prefered the Matrix or Nectars to the pre-made.

The full liquid phase will pass soon enough. You will get throught it.

      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.
