I got my blood test done :P next wednesday i start Optifast time is going by so fast. I just hope i can do as well as everyone else. Saw my doctor yesterday his really weird he told me i will never be skinny:rolleyes than he told me sometimes weight lost surgery dont work :think but if i did it would help my blood pressure ( It only goes up when i see him) but he did tell me that i could get my tt cover by health care. And he told me health care should give me what they would pay for the bypass toward the lap band lol.

I am determined to show health care too since they are giving me such a hard time with the lap band. The doctor told me they should give me what ever $$$ they cover for the bypass that would be nice. Anyways you don't get anywhere without trying so I'm trying to fight health care.

Good luck with your surgery and your journey. Positive thoughts are needed to make it successful. I had the most negative responses from my family and you should see them eat crow now.

Remember to take things one step at a time and do what the clinic tells you to do. If you take their advice you can't fail. Have a good week!

      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
