Congrats everyone! I'm having surgery some time in January, but I'm just not sure when. I'm self-pay because my company's ins excludes bariatric surgery from our plan.

My Doc has me on a wait list for December, in the event someone needs to cancel. During my initial visit, he told me that I missed out on a cancellation schedule by two days. Nonetheless, he's working diligently with his coordinator to get me in soon because I am self-pay.

I guess I should be glad that my Doc stays so busy with surgeries, but it's driving me nuts that the coordinator keeps e-mailing and saying that she is waiting on him to sign-off on a few things before she can confirm my surgery date. I am very anxious and ready for this to happen, just as some of you. My wife is pushing me to call the office on Monday and request a date because I am hoping to work around some travel dates and some important meeting dates that I have for work during the month of January. I'm hoping to be one of the first after my Doc's time off after the holiday.

My date is Jan 8th.. I had the Lap Band for 8 1/2. I had problems all along, but it continued to worsen, back in July. I had it removed and wanted the sleeve. My Dr. told me to heal first. The insurance I have now only covers the RNY Gastric bypass. I really want the sleeve. But I have to do something... have gained 25 lbs, in5 months. I have tried to be good but my lap band prevented from holding anything down. I have a supper slow metabolism and take thyroid a supplement. So I am ready!!! I am 61. Elaine from alabama

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
