I was informed yesterday that my insurance was approved for 11/19. I was a little bit scared after I got the call from my doctors office to schedule surgery and my final pre-op and all post-op appointments along with pre-surgery labs and X-rays but I am keeping my eye on the prize and looking forward to living a healthier life.

Congrats!!! and i fully understand the feeling after the call.. I was happy I had a date, but then my brain said.."hey buddy this is it" and then I started thing about things I need to pack and questions I wanted to ask..but don't worry I think we both have about 4weeks to simmer down and focus.

surgery date is November 2. Start my liquid diet on Oct 19th. Nervous but excited.

Congrats!!!

Congrats!! I think we are all going to feel the same at one point or another in the next few weeks. For me, it'll probably be when I get on the plane to Mexico.

I don't have a date yet but hoping to get a Nov. 23ish date...I am self pay and was told by my doctor's office that once I did all my prerequisites that my surgery could possibly be scheduled as early as 2 weeks. I only have my upper GI to do this week....I'm kind of hoping they find a hiatal hernia so my insurance will kick in for part of the hospital stay.

      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.
