I have been thinking about this for a while ( and trolling this site, quitely gaining information) and I started my process on august 3rd. I had my orientation on august 3rd, consult on august 10th, nutritionist on august 26th and psych evalulation on sept 3. My team thought that I needed a 6 month medically supervised diet but I told them I spoke with my insurance several times and they said no. So I had to really advocate for myself and make them submit to my insurance. Well she called me the same day and said that I was approved YAAAAAAAAAAY. Needless to say she said that she had never seen a insurance approve so fast. FYI my insurance is Humana. I am just really excited about this and nervous but grateful for the chance to make some MUCH NEEDED changes. This is something that I have being praying for and im so thankful to God.

So now im just waiting for them to call so I can schedule and get my date. Just wanted to share my story and wish everyone good luck no matter where you are in your journey. Blessing to all :)

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
