That's what I'm hoping for @@jantra12 !!!!

Thank you so much, @@SHOTzY ! The excitement from everyone feels so genuine and heartfelt. I absolutely adore you all! Having this support, whether times be hard or great, it is incredible. My family and friends who know about my surgery are super supportive, but they're not walking this path with me like everyone else so they don't/can't fully relate.

I won't give you another novel to read. But just wanted to say that after talking with my surgeon's office this morning, I just found out that they haven't even submitted my file yet. So, obviously no way I could even been approved for surgery.

I just fell HARD from cloud 9 and have closed myself up in my office at work to regain my composure at this point...

Yikes! Girl I'm so sorry that this is so dramatic.

Have you considered Mexico? Because I swear if I were in your shoes I would be considering it just to avoid all this drama .

Oh my goodness! What is going on with your doctor and insurance? This is just not right.

I am so sorry that you keep getting misinformation. I am praying that your team gets this figured out a sap. It's crazy.

You stay strong!

I just have to say- after I found out and posted my update, I was completely drained. This process has been so emotionally exhausting and I'm just ready for it to be done.

After this morning, my mom decided to take me out of town for the night- to the casino!! So, I'm going to get away and take my mind off of everything.

This wasn't a "No" by any means, so I still have hope. Just sucks that I'm not past the most excruciating part like I thought I was. The anticipation of being approved and having your file in the hands of people who know little about you and have the final say..

Haha! Yes- I have to be mindful of the surgery I WILL have. ;)

BTW- I have considered Mexico but a part of me is a bit nervous about that decision. So I'm leaving it as my last resort. Not to mention- my family isn't too keen on the idea :\

I'm praying for you. Have faith. I know how frustrating it can be. I'm pre-op myself and I'm waiting on approval. I've had to go back and forth with denials/more information needed. But I know it is God's will that I get this surgery. This struggle has made me a stronger fighter. Continue to trust God and believe that He has your life in His hands. We will both have our testimonies as we transition to the losers bench!!! ????

        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
