My office wouldn't schedule the surgery until final approval from insurance.

My surgeon gave me a surgery date of 11/4 on the first visit! I thought that was strange!!! But it makes me happy because it's a lot easier to plan, having so much time in advance!!!

I'm hoping for a late October, November or December surgery date. I just did my psych eval today. My 2 other requirements are sleep study which is scheduled for 9/18 and also a 30 day follow up with my surgeon which is scheduled for 9/16. After I complete those then we can submit for insurance approval and get a date scheduled. I'm seeing the Surgical Specialist of Louisiana in Covington, my surgeon is Dr Redmann.

I'm October 5.

I would already have this behind me, except for the fact that when I went to check in for surgery this past Monday, 8/24, I had quite a bad sore throat and a low-grade fever. The anesthesiologist said no way would he proceed. So I went home.

I am feeling tired, deflated, and using food as a drug again. I spent 2 weeks on liquid Protein and then 2 days on clear. Was literally starving by the end...and so ready for the surgery but...so I'm on the rebound. Don't know how to get my excitement for this and mojo back!

I am scheduled to have surgery on Oct 5, 2015 in Mexico (near Eagle Pass, Tx) with Dr. Alvarez. Have debated for a while about having surgery. I have to do 3 week pro-op diet, so I started early in order to try to ease myself into it. I have been drinking 4-5 Protein shakes per day and then having a very small regular supper. I have already started to lose some weight.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
