Yes, my insurance doesn't cover the surgery and the prices out of pocket here were too much! I got my insurance to cover all the preop testing thankfully. I began the process at the end of July and got scheduled for the 21st ^_^

Of September *

Hey guys sorry was at work all day 10hr shifts are no joke on the liquid diet! I'm ready to knock out! xD the inverted sleeve is an extra step at the end to secure the new stomach against leaks. YouTube "Dr. Kim Inverted Sleeve" from Kim Bariatrics there's a quick 5 minute video or so that explains what it is exactly :)

Yeah I checked out the video after asking what it was lol... My doctor will be doing that as well I believe. Doing pre-op class the NUT said the doctor will be sewing as precautionary measure to assure there's no leaking.. Surgery is next week Thursday for me I'm nervous and scared at the same time.. Lol

Ah hehe sorry got to you too late lol but that's awesome! :) and yay!! You're literally almost there!! I'm excited for you!! it's totally normal to be a little scared and nervous, I've had previous surgeries done (none for this kind of surgery specifically) and all put me under full anasthesia it's like you're going for a nap and waking up 5 minutes later except I'm sure this time you'll probably feel some pressure or something from where they made the incesions ;) it'll be okay! Just remember the goal, a new healthy you! ^_^

Yea liquid diet sucks, my doctor allows one small meal and two shakes so it's manageable. Thought I would be more nervous at this point but I'm just ready to get it done.

      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.
