I have a date!! 1/7/16. Very excited! Opted for a January date instead of December. I too decided I wanted to enjoy Christmas with my son & granddaughter. She will be 9 months old on Christmas Day.

I am set for 12.8! I was lucky and was not required to have a supervised diet, but I also haven't lost anything, so am disappointed in myself. It's ok thought - the date is set, and I'm excited to get back to the life I enjoy. It's so hard to imagine that 100 pounds can sneak up on a person, but that's exactly what has happened to me, like so many others.

How exciting! I'm a 12/08/2015 also. It's getting close. Such a great gift for the holidays :)

I'm hoping to have my surgery in January, but I'm worried that won't happen. I was originally told that since I see my primary Dr monthly for medication renewals that would most likely could be counted towards the 6 months requirement. But I just learned that it says something about supervised diet for six months. My 3rd visit with the nut is next week. The person that does the authorization said that she wouldn't be putting anything in my insurance until after Thanksgiving. I sure hope that isn't the case, my husband and I are taking our kids to Disney in April and I don't want to be unable to eat normal food. (past all the liquid part post op ).

Congrats on the date. I wish I would get mine!

WOW! A lot of you after this posting got your dates in Jan. Some of you also have birthdays in Jan. So do I. Mine is Jan 24th and I will be 60. Would be nice to have my surgery date for my Birthday gift. A new birth heading into my elderly years.

@half-of-bri, congrats! You must be excited. My surgeon won't begin to talk dates until after I go through their class in December. Makes me want to make puppy dog eyes at my case manager to see if we can get things going!

Thank you! They called me back today and told me they had an opening on 12/2 so I took it! Three weeks from today!

That is so exciting! So soon! Guess you really well have something to be thankful about in November.

My hubby told me last night his business is sending him out of the country in January. Since I don't have a date, he can't guarantee he could be here and wants me to wait until February. I'm so disappointed.

I hope so! I think I am...I just feel frazzled and rushed because I haven't even looked at Protein Drinks, Vitamins, nothing...I know I have plenty of time but I'm kinda freaking out.

That is very true! I'm glad it's early enough in December that I will be able to enjoy Christmas with my family. My sister is due with my nephew on 1/31 and I was freaking out with my date being so close to her due date - this eliminates all of that angst as well :)

I'm sorry about your husband having to go :( Maybe see what they have for dates and then go from there and delay if you have to?

      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.
