Hi everyone, i just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Daycia and I am just starting out on my bypass journey. I am going with the RNY because my insurance is the ONLY insurance that doesn't cover the sleeve. I am 30 (almost 31) years old. I go for my first appointment with my surgeon this afternoon. My first nutritionist appointment is on October 5th. I'm hoping to have my surgery in April 2016 at the very latest. Thanks for having me!

Welcome! Congratulations to you for being pro-active and getting this done early in your adulthood. Many of us oldsters who yo-yo dieted for decades had to have strokes, heart attacks, diabetes or excruciating orthopedic issues to convince us to investigate bariatric intervention. I am so proud of you. I wish you good luck and good health.

Thank you everyone! I got some good news that my insurance does not require 6 months of nutritionist visits, so we are trying to do this as soon as possible. I think my surgeon was more excited than me. :-) so hopefully before the end of the year I will be having the surgery.

No 6 month wait, good for you!????

I'm a little more half way through my 6 month wait & I am so mentally ready for this. I can't wait. Best of luck to you.

      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. 🤞
