I so excited ! I just can not hide it !

Doing my 3 months required my insurance.

I can not gain any weight during this time.

The goal is to lose 1 pound a month. THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE.

Also they said I wont be able to drink soda anymore !

This is a huge life change for me. But I'm ready for it !

anyone else lurking doing their required months by insurance ?

Who will be starting their pre-op diet in december ?

Lets be friends.

I'm hoping to start my journey soon. I attended the initial WLS seminar this past Tuesday and handed in all of my paperwork. I now have to make an appointment with the nurse practitioner which I'll be calling tomorrow to schedule. I too have to do a 3 month program for insurance so I'm hoping to get it started soon.

I've been reading so much online I'm becoming obsessed and just want to get started all ready!

I'm glad to have found this site, I've learned so much!!

Looking forward to meeting new people that understand what I'm going through :)

Hello, i had surgery 5-27-15. I did 6 weeks on opti- fast, i got 9 boxes left over. The weight loss was slow, the men lose fast. It is just not fair.

Are you still starting your preop diet in December? I just started this whole process. Like you I have to give up soda and Halloween candy was hard. I am still going through some of the tests before seeing the Nutritionist in December. If you would like a friend on this journey, I would love to be one. Carolyn

Hi all I started my journey last month. My insurance requires 6 months but I have started the pre-op testing and have seen the nutritionist. I'm 5'2 and 234 lbs. Starting weight 242.

I have long journey ahead but I'm excited too and happy to start my new healthy life.

Hi Careysgirl. It looks like we are doing this about the same time. I have my last np appointment on the 15th. I still have the 2 nutrition appointments, the EGD and cardio to go. The doctor I go to doesn't have a long preop diet, so I am looking forward to getting this going. Let me know how you are doing. Carolyn

      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
