Recommended Posts

I have a tentative surgery date of Dec 16th. :) and I only found this site 5 minutes ago so I was surprised to find a post right away. I've got quite a bit of paperwork to get in order yet, but it should all be sorted.

What are your emotions like right now. I know the waiting is driving me crazy. I am ready, more than ready. I actually struggling with dieting and I don't know why. I'm not eating a ton of food and I have a few days where I'm solidly sticking to my diet. Then I want sushi. I haven't been given an official plan to follow just don't lose more than 20 if I do my bmi won't be high enough and gain nothing or my insurance won't approve. I havent gained but I'm not loosing either. I was hoping to lose 15 before surgery, but I have 46 days I can do it!!!

I've only received a 'tentative' surgery date as I recently had a baby and the surgeon hasn't signed off on the surgery yet, though I don't understand why I would have to delay it... I'm not breastfeeding, which was the initial concern.

Gotta do my psych eval Monday, then one more appt with my NUT next month, then submitted to my insurance! According to my surgeon's office, my insurance provider has a history of quick turn around, as far as approvals/denials - so provided everything continues to go as smoothly as it has thus far, my patient navigator tells me to expect mid- to late December! Yay! Happy New Year to me! And to all of you ????

I haven't started the liquid pre-op diet my surgeon requires, and my supervised diet required by my insurance has been more of my NUT assigning me homework...like cutting out carbs or eliminating soda from my diet, in preparation for the changes coming for me post op. So far, I've had pretty good results making these gradual changes. How about for you, cookies_queen?

im not on a restricted diet yet. I'm trying to cut carbs and stop drinking while I eat. I can't lose more than 20 lbs or my bmi won't be high enough. I'm looking forward to the pre op diet cause that will mean surgery is soon!

      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. 🤞
